I thought there was a language filter, uhhh. Hehe. Might want to edit that, anyway… lol

I haven’t started wearing any kind of armor besides a helmet if I’m feeling crazy, yet… guess I’ll wait until I start hurting more :slight_smile:

I have all the equipment, gloves, helmet, elbow, knee pads, water pack and wrist guards, but don’t use them much except for always wearing a helmet.

I add knee and elbow pads the first few tries at a new skill, for instance when I hopped and idled for the first time. But then removed them since I’m practicing skills on level pavement and (historically) always landed on my feet.

When I start trying to hop curbs and stuff, (maybe this weekend) I’ll put the pads on. I may get to the mountain bike trails tomorrow, then I’ll wear full gear including the water pack for the first time. If not just for the added confidence and practice.

But yes, dealing with Velcro alone is a chore. I just counted 16 Velcro straps, full gear.

I tried the whole Velcro thing…then after a hard ride, I remember laying-down on the living room floor and got stuck to the carpet for three days.:smiley:

since when do u use velcro to put on a helmet?

Onl when u have to take your gloves off because you can’t do the clip up with the gloves on!

A few ideas…I might ring my boss and tell him I can’t make it to work because I am stuck to the carpet! :roll_eyes:

We could design a new trials obstacle. A vertical wall with velcro attracting carpet. Unicyclist could leap off and stick to the wall.

My shorts always get stuck to my 661s.Makes me wish I hadnt thrown away that top velcro covering thing for the knee velcro…part.

Every watch “MXC” on spike tv?
Theres one challenge were they have to swing from a rope and jump off into a velcro wall(they have velcro suits).The goal is to hang there without falling into the pit of mud below them.
