Where can i get CHEAP dirt bike riding gear?
I need a website that sells boots, gloves, pads pants, jerseys, helmets and chest protectors etc. I just got a dirt bike and i need gear. just the simple stuff though no motocross high quality stuff just something for trail riding like boots gloves and a chest protector and some goggles. Do you know of any sites that sell this stuff very cheap. like a wholesale or a clearance sale site or even a site that sells leftovers.
At what age can kids start riding dirt bikes?
I think thats great that they want to start, there really is no age limit, you just have to go to a local dirt bike retailer and check some bikes out because they come in a bunch of sizes, i've been riding since i was 2 so i know what I'm talking about, its just takes practice. just make sure you teacher your kids and they should be fine.
Just how dangerous is dirt-bike riding if I get all the protective gear?
First off,I'd like to start by saying,yes,the potential for injury does exist.However,what sport doesn't have risks?You must realize,that you are starting at a relatively,late time in your life.That fact alone means,you simply,take longer to heal.You WILL hit the ground!Accept this fact and use it to your best advantage.It doesn't matter how well a person masters this sport,just ask any professional rider,and you will find that even they have done plenty of soil sampling when they were doing some relatively slow maneuvers and have hurt themselves.The question you truly need to ask yourself is,"IF I GET INJURED,DO I HAVE THE PROPER MEDICAL INSURANCE TO COVER MY ***,AND IF I DON'T HOW AM I GOING TO PAY MY BILLS?" I personnally,have ridden since the age of 9 and I am 41 now.I broke my back at the age of 25,I was about 1/16th of an inch from being a qudraplegic.I was very,very fortunate to have come out of that pretty much unscathed.I MUST TELL YOU!!! I STILL RIDE TO THIS DAY!! PEIOD!! Once,a person has ridden and realizes the adrenaline rush of pushing a machine to one's limits,you simply cannot stop.It is addictive!USE YOUR HEAD!The times I have seen people get hurt,it was simply,"Ohh,I am just going down the road,or just ride around the campsite so I don't need my helmet."BULLSH%T!!! Wear your helmet,goggles(not sunglasses),and bare minimum,a good pair of riding boots!Gloves are also recommended!!And most of all,RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE"S PROPERTIES AND USE YOUR BETTER JUDGEMENT WHEN IT COMES TO NOISE POLLUTION!!!THIS SPORT DOESN'T NEED ANOTHER BOZO WITH NO RESPECT FOR OTHERS.TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS!!!!!! If you ride in a public riding area,where other people are camping,don't go blasting by their campsite or if you are at your local track,slow down in the pit area!Unfortunately,most accidents are caused by inexperienced riders!Be aware of your surroundings!!! It is a sport which has a lot of good people who do their best to keep your riding areas open for you,so support you local dealer.Oh,by the way,if you see somebody that isn't giving the proper respect to others,feel free to tell them what negative effects it can have in this sport,and set them straight.I truly encourage you and welcome you to this truly awesome sport.You may also consider taking riding classes,check with your local dealer for more info.Enjoy!!!
How do I convince my mom that dirt bikes are safe?
Well I think you are going about this the wrong way as trying to convince your mother that dirtbikes are safe is just not going to happen. Riding dirtbikes is a dangerous sport and racing them even more so, but what you need to do is convince your mother that you realise the risks involved in riding a dirtbike and are mature enough and prepared to take all precautions necessary to ride safely. Having skills on a dirtbike is also helpful when you come to learning to drive a car and while the two are miles apart in how you go about it I know that my three kids raced mx all their lives and when it came to them getting their licences for a car the driving instructor stated they could tell they raced by their ability to process and handle situations in the car. Do some research on safety gear for riding and present it to your mother and ask her not to wrap you in cotton wool as life needs to be lived. Being injured or hurt is not just something that happens doing dangerous sports but can happen anywhere. I know of a young teenager who was killed when his father bought them both jetskis and while trying them out they ran head first into each other. Result on dead teenager. So don't talk to your mother in a whinging tone but with maturity and state your case. You have more chance of winning her over that way. If that does not work start going to local mx races and see if your parents want to come along. That will let them see how interested in bikes you are.
Epilepsy and dirt bike riding...?
Every dirtbiker is going to fall whether they have a seizure or not. ALWAYS ride with full riding gear - helmet, MX boots, Mx pants (most have hip & knee padding), gloves and a chest protector. If you "recently" had a seizure, go back to your neurologist for a consult. NEVER ride alone. If you should ride alone, keep a cell phone with you (in a tool pack behind the seat, or behind the front # plate) and wear a MedicAlert Necklace or sports band. https://www.medicalert.org/Home/homegrad...
