2011 What riding gear are you running this year?

They should make riding shorts for the beach.

/scarcasm

Some of them are pretty cool and what Im looking for. I know i squid it up in a tshirt, gloves, and jeans in the summer but if possible, I think I am gonna start at least wearing riding pants with some padding. I have seen some videos on what happens to denim and stuff when it hits the ground.

SCARcasm? Was that a pun on the word or a typo? haha.

Typo but worked out pretty well. Lol. Typed when I was on the phone.

I have a pair of draggin jeans and they’re hotter than hell. I’ll take my chances in my Joe Rocket Phoenix 3.0s.

Maybe jon has a copy of my “dragging jeans” aka jeans I dragged knee in, just for a second…

I’ll just say they didnt hold up well for the .3 second contact time

I still own them :slight_smile:

Pics

i have the shift torque ones. my friend tom who i bought them from was wearing his other pair of the same jeans when he went down and they only tore slightly. not sure how that compares to regular jeans, but they’re definitely thicker than normal jeans. and they also aren’t too hot.

Pics of what?

Your junk

Regular jeans offer zero protection as they shred instantly.

Flat black Shoei RF-1000 I bought 4 years ago with a Hybrid sticker on it. Don’t remember the brand gloves or jacket.

LOL thats the spirit!

My cargo shorts have extra pockets that might buy me sometime if I go down.

Jk yesterday I saw a guy on a scooter with a regular T and cargo shorts.

I had to run to redbox and met a friend down the street. I was out last night in a hoodie and shorts. It’s nice to be out sometimes in that but the back of my head always is that fear of skidding with bare skin. I make sure I don’t go anywhere that would add to the numerous threats already out there or do any heavy cornering.

I like how people “make fun of you” for wearing full gear lol.

A kid yesterday said to me “why are you wearing all that stuff?” (we were going on like an hour-2hour ride… at night)

I responded with “Lets play a game called dump your bike at 70mph and lets see who wins” , he didn’t say anything lol.

lol … burn

My gear should arrive tomorrow! Can’t wait!

I need riding pants. I found a nice parking lot with some decent curves that I can practice on. I wanna snap some pictures of me cornering and check out my body position and really wanna get riding pants and frame sliders before I start messing with it too much.
