World Championships Mont-Sainte-Anne 2010 Tuesday Practice

[neavissa]

hi there, I was wondering if these riders are supposed to wear protective gear other than the helmet? I can see that most of them don't wear any elbow or shin protectors?! But what about under their shirt? does anyone have a link to the rules of downhill racing? thanks

@neavissa in elite cahegory on the world championships you need only fullface helmet , that's all you dont need any more protection

[neavissa]

@AvanneFura thanks for the reply! I understand that they don't HAVE to wear anything other than a full face helmet, but does that meant they really don't wear anything under their shirts?! it sure looks like it! I got into an argument with a friend because he claims that THESE riders here, in this video, still wear something under their shirt?! I don't think so! what do you think?

thanks,

G

@neavissa full face helmets is compulsary and all of these pros are wearing armour and knee pads and if you do downhill and you dont wear armour and knee pads you could seriously hurt yourself. im 11 and i race on these tracks and i wear all of the protective gear and trust me its worth it.

@JO3SCHMO got it! Thanks!

@neavissa your welcome and good luck with your riding.

The video was pretty nice, but WHAT THE FUCK was going on in your head(s) while choosing this song?

Seriously

Except of that pretty good, too bad the song means a lot:S

I noticed that alot of those pro's use Fox Shox, I have tried Marzocchi 55 TST2 2010 I don't feel confident like theses racers so summer 2011 will be the 1st year I upgrade to full DH ride. Right now I got a Brodie Devo 06 Custom Freeride
