:thumb: Nice report, glad it didn't turn out worst. :ride:

Agent2:
But I will listen to recommendations for elbow guards that are comfortable and stay in place, is there such a thing?

Don't bash me but have you ever thought about an under-the-jersey-protector? This is what I wore at the desert. The suit keeps everything in place.

For the track I have a version without the elbow pads.

I posted the gown photo because if you ride a dirtbike, you have worn, or will wear "the gown of shame."

No bashing here James, I am always interested in other opinions.
I actually bought an inexpensive pressure suit off of Amazon, kinda nice, but even though it is an XXL, it's more a medium in size, I think it will be on the DBA for sale page shortly. My Skeletools vest works good, vents good in the summer and the shoulder pads prevented my shoulder injury being a lot worse.
I don't really like wearing long sleeves while riding, but the elbow guards aren't doing me much good if they are in the truck, but I guess I will start wearing them. But if anyone has recommendations for elbow guards that are comfortable and don't move around too much, I would like to know.

Looks like a fun day of riding besides the crash. I wonder what the story is with that house? Awesome view but dang that's in the middle of nowhere.

:lol: I'm guessing that you've never been to the desert before? I hadn't and those pictures of me failing don't lie, it's like a fish out of water. You're sitting in camp waiting to go riding and somebody points out this mountain (to me :P) about 10 miles out to the West. Then tells you that we'll end up there, oh and we departed to the East. :shocked: Figure that out. :smirk:

It's a blast though, if you ever get the chance do it, pictures/video don't do it justice. :ride:

The desert is known for its stark beauty especially at dusk and dawn. It has some of the best sunrises/sunsets of anywhere on the planet I think.:ride:

I've found that wearing them under your jersey keeps them in place, most of the time.

Ooooh, that sucks Rick. I have a full 'balistic' suit now, and don't get the bloody stuff any more, just the shoulder separations and the hyper-extensions.....!

Heal quick - fell better.
