 Hi everyone and welcome to Tatum's Tech Talk. It's our final episode and we've had a tremendous amount of fun doing it. We focused on the bike and of course the setup throughout the equipment there but now we want to look at what the boys actually wear when they're out there racing and taking their lives in their hands. We've got the body armour and there've been some significant improvements in this area there's no doubt about that. We've got shoulder and elbow protections there's a little bit in the chest area as well. Quite possibly the most important part of this though is actually the protection to your spine the back protector itself. When I first started riding there were an awful lot of guys didn't even wear one of these to be perfectly honest though you can't go on track without one so yes this is a nice jacket that you put on. Also then we move on to knee braces of course knee injuries can be very uncomfortable so this is a something that could prevent that if you fall awkwardly as I say another important partner. Another area that really has improved quite dramatically so that's pretty much across the board now guys are wearing those boots everybody wears boots a conventional right boots no real surprises there but when we come to the left hand side we've got the steel shoe on which enables you the left foot to slide across the surface on the entrance to the corner as a consequence there is no heel on this side so that's important to to see and that is very specific to our sport of Speedway. Obviously there is the top dressing the suit itself that goes over all the body armor it's a Kevlar material it is now strictly regulated by the governing body now previously it wasn't we actually had suits with nylon in which caused all sorts of problems when guys were crashing and getting burns and quite some severe injuries so that's been outlawed and this is now very much the norm so yes that is the classic Kevlar suit that goes over the armor helmets of of course off-road helmet that's pretty much standard there and of course then on to the two different options when you come to actually the goggle and tear-offs this is a conventional tear-off system you see the little film here and the second option here is of course is the roll-off system with the two canisters on the right and left-hand side of the goggle it's got a film that goes across you pull the toggle that pulls the film across and enables you to keep seeing where you're going and then finally I want to take a look at the neck brace we're seeing more of the young guys wearing these it's not a compulsory item but it is something that one or two of the guys are beginning to look at quite seriously all in all hugely important to have the right gear on quite clearly it is it's got the right gear when you hit the deck and you are going to hit the deck from time to time you want to be wearing the right gear
