really need more gear

[rideordie]

I just got this 400ex and took it out today. I triied this hill and just didn't make it so on the way back down I put my legs out like a dumb ass an tore all the skin off the inside of my legs from the rear tires. If I had some boots on my legs would not be killing me right now..... What do you guy (and girls) recommend for additional gear and what are some good brands?

I recommend keeping your feet on the pegs whether you have boots or not. And don't forget a lifejacket if your followin me

yeah,,,,,that's the first thing I was told when I first got a quad back in '88.

Once I drop about 50 pounds, I'll be able to get all the gear I want, for now nothing much fits except for a helmet ;-)

Nerf bars with integrated heel plates are a must-wish I would've got them sooner!  Also, I've been using www.ridegear.com -seem to have the best prices around that I've found.  Even when I find something somewhere else cheaper-they will usually work with you do get your business.  Aside from nerf bars, kidney belt, boots, gloves, helmet and good, comfortable riding pants.

I don't ride with all the "knights in shinning armor" setup up and I don't get any scratches. I just have some riding pants and a helmut. Never take your feet off you pegs when going downhill/uphill or whatever. Lean forward and use your front brake to back down.  Or get a faster start when you hit the hill.    -Mark
