"Okay, for those who are on the market for dirt bikes and looking into buying dirt bike gear, and all sorts of motocross fun, I can start you out with the basics of motocross gear and what you're going to need to stay safe. We've gone through helmets, which is your most important safety component of motocross gear. But, also, just as relevant is your basics, your jersey and pants. They do have a little extra materials, some leathers to keep from tearing, and fall, even though it's dirt and it's soft, it still hurts, so, yes, the dirt hurts. Your basic jersey and it doesn't tear as readily as regular clothing. Basically, your gloves, they're going to have a pretty snug fit when you buy them, motocross gloves, they're leather palms and textiled, they should fit fairly snug but comfortable when you're on the throttle. They are amazingly wonderful gloves. Should always purchase, same with the street, with your armor, this is a knee guard and it's essentially body armor for your knees, and you should always wear your knees and your elbows, underneath of your jersey, of course, to protect yourself from little mishaps, and slides. You also have, a big sturdy motocross boot, and I brought these hangers just for fun for you. They've got some nice little strong buckles and they are, they have extra protection in the knees, toes and elbows for your dirt bike riding experience. Outside of that, I think that covers most of your basic motocross gear that you'll be needing, just, you know starting out and having a good time and playing the dirt, and wear your gear."
