When dirt bike racing was in it’s infancy riders wore whatever was available to protect themselves. Open faced helmets, Jofa pants, leather protection… as the protective equipment was not specifically made for dirt bike racing, riders looked more like confused hockey playing bikies than dirt bike racers!
As the sport (best sport in the world mind you 
became more popular, the growth was then able to sustain ‘parallel’ or complimentary manufacturing industries. Companies like JT USA, Sinisalo etc. could now focus primarily on making only motocross gear.
More money was now being pushed into research and development of motocross gear, sponsorship of riders and marketing programs
More emphasis was being placed on style so colour was added to gear to match dirt bike colourings or just to be outrageous and different. Pink was big mid eighties (I did not say it was always in good taste).
Body armour moved to be worn over the top of race jerseys therefore they became more stylised to appeal to users. In itself becoming a fashion statement, but was researched and tested to also be practical and offer maximum comfort. Today’s body armour has ‘floating’ shoulder cups as well as flexible back and side panels to cater for both sitting and standing positions when riding. Can come in a range of colour options including clear as well as built in kidney belts on some models.
Race pants received there own special treatment made out of heavy duty nylon with doubled stitching, extra room in the butt to cater for the crouched/sitting riding position as well as cordura, kevlar and leather panels in high wear areas such as the seat and knees. Spandex panels are used to allow for movement where necessary. A quality race pant will offer extra room in the knee area to allow for knee braces that more and more riders are wearing.
Jersey material went from cotton to sweat/moisture wicking polyester/cotton blends to offer greater comfort for prolonged periods of riding. Vented panels were placed in ‘hot spots’ and even little touches like rubber strips in the tail to hold them into the race pants on even the roughest ride.
Boots were being designed to deal with high impact landings and ultimate ankle protection. Replaceable soles and buckles prolonging their use. They are now carefully constructed to avoid the damaging lateral and hyperextension movements around the ankle area.
Dirtbike gloves - choose them wisely and make sure they fit correctly. Some gloves are better suited to certain types of riding than others. Motocross gloves offer better feel for the rider with less padding in the palms. Enduro gloves can be the opposite with more padding to give greater comfort for longer rides.
Elbow protection can be found in a “sleeve” that also covers the forearms. Knee/shin guards are lighter as well as stronger and some hinder ‘lateral’ movement of the knee (gone are the days of using skateboarders protection). Although with the onset of lightweight, composite materials it is possible to have the ultimate in protection with knee braces.
All this protection would mean nothing if you cannot see. So it is very VERY important to properly protect one of your greatest assets (as well as one of the five senses) in your sight. Different goggle manufacturers have their own registered names for their lenses, but they basically mean the same thing - scratch resistant, shatterproof protection for your eyes.
So next time you go for a dirtbike ride, dress in the latest motocross gear and be comforted in the knowledge that you have minimized risk to your body as much as possible. That will allow you to focus on what you are there for… enjoying the ride!
The old saying is still as true as ever - “dress for the fall, not for the ride”

Are you a motorcycle enthusiast, but are finding it difficult to convince your significant other to go along for long rides? After all, your butt gets pretty sore after a while so it stands to reason that taking passengers on a 300-mile motorcycle ride is not the easiest thing in the world to do. One-way to convince your significant other that a motorcycle needs to be in your future in that it is essential to spend the money for a great motorcycle, is to tell them you will also get the high-tech side car that matches for them to ride on.
This will prevent them from having a bad hair day due to the relatively and the occasional pass at 100 mph plus. One of the coolest side cars ever made, is not as expensive as you might think in fact if you do a little research you’ll see that Dauntless Motors Corporation indeed as the nicest, quietest and safest side cars on the market. Please find a link below of some pictures better on the Internet;

The Liberator Motorcyle Side Car Series is state-of-the-art and last year I have the pleasure of sitting in one myself at the Daytona motorcycle jamboree. Sure there are other motorcycle side cars which are equally as cool, but safety was a major concern for our family and a great selling point for me to buy a new motorcycle. Consider this in 2006.

There are tons of solutions for health and weight loss in the world however the majority of them do not work at all. You can try running and jogging and even walking to get into shape and lose extra body fat but soon you will find that you are in need of a new solution. When you reach that point consider giving bicycle riding a shot. Riding a bike gives you so many advantages that other aerobic exercise does not. The first and foremost is a change of atmosphere. When you exercise it is easy to get very bored and this leads to people quitting or cutting out earlier than they should. This is bad because if you make a habit of stopping your workout early you will never really meet your goal. When you are on a bike it is hard not get bored. You will be moving so much faster than when you walk you will cover a lot of ground and see a lot more scenery. If you have the chance to see a lot more you are not as likely to get bored and in turn less likely to quit. If you complete your workout every time then you will achieve you goal or health and weight loss.
Bicycles come in so many styles that you may be overwhelmed when you go out to buy one. You can buy a number of different specialty bikes based off of what it is that you want to do. If you live near a lot of hills and trails and want to ride off road as opposed to on pavement then you may want to look into a mountain bike. The mountain bikes have special tires and frames to deal with the rough terrain that you will ride on.
If you are looking to ride strictly on pavement hen a road bike is what you need. These are light and less rugged than the other types of bikes because they do not need to be. The roads a generally smooth and therefore the tires can be thinner and this will allow you to go faster.
The more you know about what you want to do the easier it will be to pick the right bike for your goals. Best wishes and happy riding.
