CWC ONLINE: Protective Gear also in stock now!


Recommended Posts

Posted

I find it interesting that so few SA MTBikers wear protective gear. Frankly, if you ride Tokai's singletrack properly, then elbow and knee pads are almost essential. An 8 week forced (read no pay) holiday because of a broken wrist brought that message home. Look at photographs of UK MTBikers out on their local trails and you'll see that a lot of them wear pads.

 

I found that my kids initially refused to wear their pads but once they saw the coolest dudes (downhillers) at Dirtopia wear pads, that problem was solved instantly. Their (and my own) technical riding and jumping has improved hugely since we started wearing pads.

 

I think Chris Willemse also keep 661 gear, my favourite, and for not much more than Chain Reaction.
