What kind of gear do you have? - Page 2

allangee · 07-13-2007, 12:12 PM

I don't use my head much when I'm riding, but it's attached so I have to bring it along. So I take the innertube from a 50 and over-inflate it slightly, pulling it snuggly onto my head. "That's stupid!" I hear you saying -- and you're right... what about the TOP of my head? That's why I duct tape one of my wife's metal mixing bowls to the top of the tube.

Goggles are a little expensive, so I put one layer of plastic food wrap around my head. It helps having something to poke nostril holes nearby. It took me 3 or 4 minutes to find a sharp pencil the first time and I nearly passed out. If you have a problem with bugs up your nose put a straw in each nostril with a little bit of tape so they point backwards. This also allows you to breathe if you end up face first in the muck.

As far as everything else goes... flesh heals and bones mend FOR FREE -- so why would I buy gear?

I would reccommend cookie sheets tied to gether for a chest protector. They work great!

I just got a set of Oakley Crowbars. Oakley Crowbar MX Goggles
Very nice goggles. They even came with extra teaf-off's. Normally retail for about $70 but I have a buddy who took them in trade for a sand car light bar so I can get them for around $40 or $50.

Also trying to get a whole new rear set. Troy Lee Designs new '08 GP gear. Troy Lee Designs GP Jersey and Pant Package
