Today I want to talk about the basic equipment required to participate on a motorbike race. Here there are the most important components about the wearing: - Boots: they are really important because when you drive through a bend you have to separate the foot which is in the bend. In case there is a stone or something heavy, it will crash to your foot; that is the reason why boots are so important. Moreover, when you jump, the impact you receive when you touch the grown again is really hard and boots protect our ankles.
- Protections: It is called protections in general, but it means the protective clothes we wear. It is like armour, but it is not heavy. It protects our back, our elbows and shoulders and our chest. In my opinion, it is the most important part of the equipment. If I couldn’t wear these protections, I wouldn’t ride motorbike!
- Helmet and glasses: the main part of the human body is the head, so it’s really important to protect it properly. I think that a helmet is never too much expensive. It is really important to wear a good one, and, moreover, if we suffer an important crash, and our helmet hits the floor strongly, we must buy another one because if they have a hard blow, they lost their protection quality.
The glasses maybe are less important, but really necessary if we want to ride fast. When a motorbike accelerates, its back wheel raises lots of small stones. That’s why we need to wear glasses during the races.
- Motocross trousers: they aren’t really different of normal trousers, but the most important difference is that these ones have a protection to prevent burns from the exhaust pipe of our motorbike. And besides, they are really thick and heavy because if we fell on the ground, we won’t get burned because of the friction.
As you can imagine there are lots of other important clothes, but these are the most important ones. They are those who are essential to practice this funny motor sport!
I hope you have enjoyed this explanation,
See you,
