Nah. It's called a "stupid".
Ok.2 things I REEALLY hate.
- Thread starter SCARY
- Start date
You get an exemption.
I'd still prefer you wear goggles over glasses but I'll let this one pass.
Are we making up,right here on the Internet?
Nah, it's smart I'm sure. I bet his hands don't sweat. He never rides in inclement conditions, NEVER has hits hands slide along the ground when he crashes, and never rides long enough to worry about the grips chewing up his hands.
I'm not defending it for everyday riders. I'm saying sponsored riders having something that is visible and distinguishable is important. Rider marketability is more than results.Just stop.
You want to get noticed? Win races.
Also why do you care? I could never justify the cost of something that doesn't really seem more comfortable than regular mx shorts and some cheap black jersey but what is really the difference between the kid who tries to be cool by riding Sam's PJ and you trying to be cool by mocking him and wearing RM bro sanctioned outfit? It seriously looks like some people here are starting some DH hipster movement.
Didn't you know that only mainstreamers wear TLD kits? Core riders would never sell out and do that.
so i should wear something uncomfortable just to please your crazy eye? f**k off...
Absolutely. He loses points for having a proper full-facer instead of a Met Parachute though
Is this ok?
What is wrong here?
Leatt makes a nice chest protector that has multi-density foam for impact protection besides just roost. I think it's a viable option for DH. As opposed to a suit, it is definitely cooler in hot weather. Shoulder adjustments, stretchy straps, and anatomically correct curves makes it less likely to shift. A lot has changed since the old plastic roost guards of the 90s you know...
As for the "counter culture" hate on PJs. :roll eyes: Modern DH has had strong influence from MX in terms of technology and styling. I'm OK with that. Better than the gay ass spandex road clothing as far I'm concerned. PJs are great fall/cold/wet/muddy ride wear. Perhaps less comfortable in hot/humid weather. But the long pants and material offers some protection and the tapered cut prevents catching in the chain. I also like them because I also ride moto and don't have to buy additional clothing. Am I a fast, winning racer? Nope. But form does follow some function here.
But of course, haters will hate!

and for the record, I used to get **** for wearing actual pajama pants back in the day. I demand full credit
Your other reasons for gloves, reasonable. Having to worry about some rubber grips chewing up youyr hands? Man up, that is what callous' are for
I only wear gloves on xc rides because the ability to quickly pick my nose when riding dusty terrain is invaluable. Precision flicking with gloves on is just so difficult.
I found the answer for everything!
Wow, never realized that DHers (besides racers) were so worried about fashion.
When you're riding bikes you're supposed to be worried about staying alive. Not worrying about whether your Channel goggles, Vera Wang shorts, and Coach shoes all match.

Congratulations, you looked like a retard before everyone else
Never thought of that. I thought it was like hockey equipment. May need to try itGeeeeeeeeez buddy, you do know you can wash your gear every once in a while uh ?
Oh,for Christs sake.Some of you people must be mildly retarded.This whole damn thread is just a stupid rant about nonsense.I should know,I started it.Do any of you have friends and you sit around and bag on eachother?!I mean,really,I understand that sarcasm and silliness dosent come across the best over the Internet,but could you at least try and consider that there's a possibility that someone might just be goofing around?....please?....especially after that person has said that they're just goofing around?

Perfect for all the hipsters that whanna look cool on the trails
Yea, you say that but your posts read like your real feelings. I think you are just saying you're being sarcastic just so people don't call you a douche. Douche.
I call him a douche all the time, and I don't care about his feelings expressed or implied on the internet.
Yeah,you just defined "sarcasm" there,Corky.Wipe the tears and move on.The short bus will be here ,soon.Im only serious about politics,human history and my kids behavior.If you only have one word comebacks,maybe you should just play with kidwoo.
(God,help me if kidwoo flips out over this)

Thankyou---I understand you're drunk,so you get wider leeway.
I generally need a ton of leeway to be tolerated on RM. And in the lift lines, where these DH fashion violations take place. Which is fine.
I like riding without gloves. You guys are hurting my butt.
BAAH!!Forget everything I said,you're fine.
Obviously racing the Bro class. Keepin' it real.
Cuz you know I'm right..huh?
It is ,isn't it?
That's right.I speak truth.You know it.You know what you did was wrong,Ask Caroline.
I mean how else you gonna know, right?
Get rid of that signature. I just ran it through google translator and this is what I got: "you're doing it wrong"
