"My friends call me CK and I’m speaking on behalf of Expert Village. I am a stunt man currently working out in the Hollywood area and I’m going to give you some tips today on motorcycles and motorcycle riding. If you’re going to be doing some dirt riding, along with your basic helmet first of all you want to be protected your full body because you’re out there in the dirt, riding over obstacles, jumps, it gets rough, you get tired you’re going to fall down. So you want to protect your head, you also want to protect the rest of your body. Along with your head, you want a good pair of gloves and a jersey long sleeve jersey to protect your arms, you don’t want to go out their with a short sleeve shirt because when you do fall down, you’re going to get some pretty good rash burn on your arms. You want a long sleeve shirt or jersey and as I have here, these are motocross motorcycle pants, they’re made out of a more durable material, they’ll stand up to the rigors and the tumbles that you’re going to take on a motocross track or a motocross bike when you go out riding. Also, along with the pants, the jersey, the helmet, these are good safety issues, you’re going to need a good pair of shoes, you’re going to need a good pair of boots, that’s where these come in hand. Now when you ride, if you’re just getting into riding, this is one of the most important aspects of you ride because you can go out there and ride in work boots, but they don’t have the stability and the strength and if you end up running into something, rocks or other trees or guys out there running around out there with you, you’re going to want a good secure pair of boots. And your boots, you want to make sure they fit comfortably and they’re a good fit for your feet. Street riding it’s also good to have a good nice leather jacket, such as this one right here. And we get a good jacket or they make you can buy either leather jackets or they do have good synthetic material that is a little more breathable and wear resistant. This jacket as you see has perforated holes for more cooling and that’s a basic jacket. There’s also jackets, this one has extra padding you can add in or remove, whether you want to pad your back, your elbows, shoulders, that’s another good thing to look for. "
