i bought alpinestar and Gaerne
but that was awhile ago.
probably better ones out there know.
you get what you pay for
The locking straps on them can break resulting in less
stabilty,support,comfort.
I will ride a 4 wheeler without them but
if im riding a dirt bike where you leg is out there turning/jumping
higher jumps then yes,not saying you cant jump a wheeler as high but
easier said on 2 wheels
You need riding boots to jump a dirt bike seriosly
unless you have STRONG ANKELS...
i have jumped triple 60ft jumps on 125's, 250cc yz,cr,rm ect
those pics/videos never made
without a good landing platform you are screwed
