Yesterday was the first day to wear my boots. I got the msr mxt boot from
rockymountain for 116.00 shipped, hard as hell to get used to them.

definetly some gloves, boots and shin/knee guards. you will be glad you have the knee pads the first time you fall down and land on your knees. Boots will save a broken foot for that inevitable tree or stump that catches your foot.

[SNEAKY]

i think boots, then some riding pants.

[TX21]

One of those camel packs for water and boots.

Man get a pair of boots, that and helmet, goggles, gloves would be all you need.
I have a couple pairs of Thor core pants size 34 that ill get ride of for $25. They wont fit me anymore and they havent been used much so someone should get some use out of them.

[busted90]

I never used the ones that came with the pants because i used the CTI knee braces. but they come in handy.

i bought a helmet and goggle before i bought the bike :D

[Txstang1]

I never used the ones that came with the pants because i used the CTI knee braces. but they come in handy.the THOR knee/shin pads work great, the shin part fits down in your boots. they are only like 10 or 15 a pair....good investment.

You'll need a roost deflector for when you're riding with me.

[Txstang1]

You'll need a roost deflector for when you're riding with me.HAHA.....BTW, you been to buffalo creek in Canton yet?

I haven't been yet, but I heard it was pretty good.

[mopar63]

Boots and gloves, mink oil the crap out of the boots to soften em up a bit. You will thank yourself later.

I'd invest in a set of Tech 8's for boots.They hold up the best IMO.A chest protector is a good investment also.The more gear you have with a dirt bike the better off you are.I ride with protective gear from head to toe.

Yup, thats the only boot I have worn since 1996. $300 is well worth it.

No, I'll have to check that out. Where's Canton?

[Txstang1]

No, I'll have to check that out. Where's Canton?East on 175, you run right innto it I think. It's about an hour away.

[Buick355]

I just looked Buffalo Creek up and it's a motocross track. I don't ride motocross, just cross country. I started out with motocross and broke my leg and knee real bad so I switched to cross country.

[SNEAKY]

yeah, my bike would not be good on a motor cross track at all.

[greenbullitt]

IF you buy new boots, soak them down with water and mow the yard in them...you'll think im crazy but it helps break in...so you can at least move your feet...

LOL I did the same thing with a new pair of boots about 3 weeks ago. New boots are a bitch!! They're finally getting broken in after about 3 rides.
