Kitting a 'youngster' out for DH - cheapest options?


Recommended Posts

yes

 

If he is NOT racing ... he can wear whatever he wants (UNLESS the bike park has stipulations of its own).

 

Regulation only comes in at events

 

Cool now to get that passed his mother :ph34r:

Rain? Nothing like a onesie to keep the elements out.

I've seen pro's wearing neck braces, spinal injuries can be expensive in many ways.

 

At this point only the smaller stuff to be attempted but then again you know how it goes ;)

I figured as much. Pity, as they have some awesome deals from time to time.

 

Struggled to source the hanger and seals for the fork so decided to bite the bullet and just do it!

The majority of the pro's don't wear neck braces... or many other items of protective gear that we deem 'essential'.

 

But I guess that's why they're pro's. What think is absolutely insane, is like a Nissan Trailseeker to them.
