[QUOTE="Travace, post: 9748, member: 111"] took long enough for someone to mention that :P... when i purchased it i was ready to get a large but then the guy working got me to try on the Medium and for sure its a safer fit for me so i got that one. Never really noticed or even thought about the foot thing... :thumb: + roost for you james. That's something i can think about and work on next time at the track. Clutch lever ... i think i will take your advise for that as well :thumb: + another roost for you(i can only roost once tho so ill have to get ya back a different time). Its funny when i was out there i dont think i look or even think about how many fingers i use. Then i get home and watch the vids and think WHY do i do that. The lever is bent a bit but im gonna adjust it now that you brought that to my attention. I am still kinda scared of the corners and pushing my limits in them. Today alone i watched 1 guy ALMOST eat it right in front of me when his front tire went over the berm. Then later in the day a kid got SERIOUSLY hurt in one. I didnt see it happen but all of a sudden it got real quiet at the track and there was about 10 people all at one berm looking down. I guess what happened was a group of about 6 racers were out practicing with each other. One kid went down in the berm and the other kid behind him ran into that guys bike flew over the bars AND over the berm. He left and his friend told me he got a concussion, he didnt know where he was and they took him to the hospital. He did walk off on his own so that was a good thing. Anyway i know im gonna have to grab my balls and get over the cornering thing sooner or later anyway. Each week i get more comfy and learn new things like the foot in front not out advice. yea i think when i go to make the neck brace purchase i will bring my chest guard and my helmet to the shop to try it all on before i buy just to make sure. That kid might have had it set up smaller and thats why i felt like it was choking my throat. Also the goggles were such a cool score for me.. trading a old DJ'ing record player for some cash and the goggles is WIN. something sitting in my house i will never use for something i will use weekly if not more.
