I've been outta the race scene for a couple years.Since my much heralded return I've realized I'm much more comfortable with minimal attire(helmet,knee pads,gloves,shorts 3/4 cut sleeve jersey)I'm reading different requirements and need to get my crap together before angelfire.I'm only doing nationals ,and race pro.so I don't know if uci superceeds usacycling on stuff.I really dig the new kneepads and don't want to go back.peace up

All you need is a helmet. Everything else is up to you.

 

[illflip]

you must coordinate with the color scheme of your bike as well. mandatory.

 

[gonefirefightin]

thong is optional

 

[spocomptonrider]

This is all you need.

Just find a gorilla costume.

 

[killsdeer4fun]

I ride in a ninja costume and my friend does the gorilla thing. No lie.

As long as your kit looks retarded you should be okay.

 

[bikenweed]

Skinsuits are still legal as long as you have something over the top half so that you are not wearing only the suit.

Damn fat chicks taking away all of our fun.

Great ,"pinkbike" responses.I'm entertained but no further informed.thanks though...really

 

[stiksandstones]

It looks as if if you walk into a MX shop with $1000, you should walk out looking like a DH racer...and I am being serious.

 

[jonKranked]

The 30 - 60 minutes spent discussing this would be better spent at the gym or riding your bike.


Don't get me wrong, I don't want a race kit that looks like it was designed by Stevie Wonder, but the time some people spend picking out new duds is absurd.

 

[Spahman]

just don't look like a moon man...

some of the racing suits are starting to look retarded

ya...and same thing can be said for all the goons in here wondering about the new proto brake levers or tires or any other bike part you guys cream about.

 

[ender]

Just wear pajamas with lots of bright colors and silly patterns. That's what everyone else wears.

Just found this in the small print of the IMBA rules...

"842.a.i. Those not wearing TLD clothing and/or protective gear are to penalized by the addition of 30 seconds to said participant's time per non TLD article of clothing or protective gear worn. A reduced penalty of 10 seconds is to be added in the case of mismatched TLD clothing and or protective equipment."







Wear what you want. Really.

 

[Westy]

Make sure your purse matches your shoes.

 

[NJMX835]

No white kit after Labor Day.

 

[MinorThreat]

Sweatshirt cut off below the armpits, covered by a T-shirt, leather race pants, resoled lineman's boots with woolies folded over the top, leather work gloves and, of course, the latest full-face.

Oops! - - wrong era . . . :

He is also hammered everytime you see him haha, that may account for some of the retarded designs they have.

 

[buildyourown]

No pads, no gloves, no DOT helmet, but a Leatt brace. That's the new racer look.
