Proper Dirt Bike Gear

This weeks topic is about the proper gear that you should wear while riding a dirt bike. The most important should be the helmet. It protects the head from a bad fall and without it, it possibly could lead to death.

 You would need goggles that fit over the helmet, so bugs or dirt to hurt your eyes or possible blindness.

Next would be the neck brace. This goes around the neck securely, so that it can protect you from a broken neck.

 A person should have proper jersey and pants for riding. Yes, they're heavy, especially in the summer, but they keep you from getting scraps or burns from the engine or falls that could be severe.

 Gloves are also a good idea to have so no scrapes can happen so easily.

Chest protectors are a good thing to have for the safe of broken ribs or any serious injury to the spine.

Knee and Elbow pads are a necessity, just like riding a regular bike. Those and a helmet of course. They protect from getting fractures.

Last, but not least, your socks. The socks are to be worn under the boots. They make special socks for boots The boots are heavy and hard to walk on until they have been broken in. They're the safest foot wear for racing and is highly recommended. They're heavy for secure and hard for easier shifting.

All of these possessions are required for racing and should be worn when riding all times. You never know when you might crash. I always make sure to wear my proper gear when just riding a couple laps at the track. Don't risk your life or a serious injury. It's a great practice, so be safe!
