Well after numerous spills, bumps and bruises I've decided to take a lesson in the mountains on better single track techniques. I'll be up by Georgetown this weekend and Kelly Knight is going to be my instructor. I'll write a review after and give my opinion on what I learned. To start off I've upgraded my protection by leaps. 1. Troy Lee SE 3 helmet 2. New googles that are in 1 piece (100%) 3. Leatt 5.5 body protector 4. Troy Lee ultra protective shirt (wear under my 5.5 protector) 5. Klim Dakar in boot pant (my old pants would not stay up) 6. EVS SX01 knee braces 7. Alpinestars tech 3 at boots 8. Handlebars with a 1" 1/2" rise (I'm 6'4 & the old one were bent from the bike coming off the trailer) 9. New rear trials tire (Kenda Equilibrium trials & enduro hybrid tire). Ok that's it for now but will update on the coming weekend. Thanks
