when you jump your bike and land, without proper support under your feet, the muscles in your feet will hyper extend as your foot bends over your foot peg from the force of the landing.  not wearing proper footwear is and easy way to have sore feet and turn your toes purple. ;)

When I bought mine, the guy told me he has pins in his ankle from not wearing them, so I stick to it now.  I used to jsut wear my cowboy boots...no protection there.

Picked up some 50/50's from the stealership two days ago. I wore them around the dealer they were so comfy. Still havent ridden in them yet but I walk around the house with them on to break them in, and I forget I have them on.

FOX V3 Helmet

FOX Jersey ( or a damn t-shirt, hoodie,jacket - whatever)

Oakley Goggles (though I rarely use them unless it's dusty, I usually wear WILEY X goggle/glasses - check 'em out. They KICK ASS !)

FOX Gloves.

Jeans or shorts, or flannel lined Carhartt's if it's cold. ( really want a pair of the Thor Static pants, those are dope)

Generally Hiking boots 'cause I'm too cheap to buy the 50/50's I want, and I never liked full boots.

Bandana. Paisley. Ricky Ricardo style.  8)  ???  :lol:

Camel Back or UnderArmour Backpack with a CamelBack bladder in it.

and of course.... i-pod.  :thumbs:
