tomblackwood said:A basic "Road Rash" kit. People will be pushing the speed, which means
people will be going down at speeds faster than they can run.
On that note, a pair of KH Pulse Gloves, or some other system that
includes wrist protection, should be considered essential.
A rear-view mirror, whether helmet or eyeglass mounted. As an eyeglass
wearer, I'm a personal fan of the 'Heads Up'
(http://tinyurl.com/yntxo6) mirror. They need periodic replacement, but
they have the best mirror quality of the eyeglass-mounted models I've
tried.
That's a great point, and in that case, I would suggest buying padding
with a hard plastic shell, not the ones like KH, and Roach, and 661
4x4's that we are all familiar with
As was mentioned, you'll probably take spills at speed...and then add
to that, when that happens, you'll also be completely exhausted...I
predict some 'slumping onto the ground kinda UPD's, and the armour with
that nylon material just pulls down from grabbing onto the pavement,
and peeling the pad away before your knee touches the road 🙁
The hard plastic would slide along the pavement and keep you safer
