I got Steg Pegz the other day. They're cool and good, and let you ride without stressing your arms. My first time testing them on the MX track yesterday:

My first few rides they felt very weird. That was on tight wet singletrack. I then went and participated in that Satan's Kingdom race, which was entirely wet slimy rocks, and promptly got used to them. From that point, I'd say no, I don't see myself getting caught on them in a crash. The first few hours I had them though, I'd probably say they were a bit dangerous.

I'm glad a goon got a set of those since I was wondering how pegs like that work. When I went dirt riding last week, my arms and hands got tired extremely quick whenever I was standing and leaning back a lot. I assume that means I need to use my legs more.

Interesting. I've been thinking about getting a pair and I'm glad to hear they're alright. Deeters posted:I'm glad a goon got a set of those since I was wondering how pegs like that work.

You can also point your toes in a little. Sometimes that helps.

I've never noticed a difference between when I wear elbow pads and don't. I didn't even know that was a thing.

I definitely get more pronounced arm pump with certain types of gear that constrict the forearm but I don't mean during light trail riding or street riding so maybe i came to the wrong place

EX250 Type R posted:to some extent sure but more like things wrapped around the forearms making arm pump that much worse Fair enough. I can't ride without elbow pads, it gives me the heebie-jeeebies. I don't notice a difference between pressure suit and regular strap on elbow pads, fwiw. Anything really gnarly unless I'm focusing a lot on gripping with my legs I get some arm pump.

EX250 Type R posted:same thats why im asking because i know people in this very thread forego forearm protection in order to reduce or eliminate their arm pump and I wanted to hear more about their trade off I have a full Fly body armor shirt thing that has elbow/forearm guards with two straps around the forearm in addition to the long-sleeve Underarmor-type shirt material that it's all attached to. Haven't noticed any more arm pump than when I rode without it. I did possibly the most boring thing ever on a dirtbike yesterday. Went out to a trail with a co-worker and it turned out to be completely flat and straight and about 8 feet wide for like 40-45 miles. Literally not a single corner, terrain, or obstacle you had to slow down for. Going flat out in a straight line gets boring after about 2 minutes. Lots of bridges to wheelie over though I guess.

Further exploring around rural Somerset; there's a a whole green highway unbeknownst to most of great trails and abandoned roads to explore.  The above trail is amazing! Nearly two miles all uphill of rocky, muddy, root covered byway. On my last run of it I got a little bit overconfident with the power and slid onto my arse. Completely unscathed but a root got under the hand guards and..  Had to hot shift all the way home and pray for green lights. Luckily the gear changes on the xr are very forgiving. Had the biggest smile on my face all day.

Replacement was cheap and had the hidden benefit of introducing a great little offroading store and workshop less than a mile away so that's new tires sorted!

did 2 hours of riding on Saturday to prep for an upcoming race this weekend with a friend who does WNYOA, which i guess is more GNCC like racing than NETRA. I brought him to one of my super sekret practice tracks and he recorded this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGlhsH-rt_0

This doesn't necessarily apply to that rider, but I've found tons of dudes are going SX on KTM these days because 1) J-Day is taking over 2) A rejection of the XPLOR fork on newer offroad models Everyone revalves their suspension anyway. I've also found Yamaha has significantly improved their market share in JDay at least. NETRA is on its way.

I rode a '17 250 XC-F yesterday with traction control. I was doing figure 8's in the field attempting to get it to break traction. It wouldn't do it. It was magical - fastest cornering I've ever done.
