Going to be like pros drinking water out of monster cans, sponsored by knee brace companies wearing pads from walmart.
Its so fake
Gotta love the obvious water in a redbull can, crammed into rider's hand the second he lets go of the handlebars. Need another assistant to awkwardly jam a sponsor cap on his head as soon as the helmet comes off ,
Tuck in your shirt, be as boring as white bread,
Hold up the can and helmet now, say cheese
vomit
But I guess they still do burnouts at least
@@mattburnett4185 don't forget to mention when they wear 2 hats on the podium haha
@Cha Man lol I forgot about that one
@@mattburnett4185 ... Yup, Big Corporate runs the SX show!
$ gotta come from somewhere. Been that way forever. Even more so in the 4 stroke era.
I feel old. I'm realizing that there's been a whole generation of riders that don't know what it's like riding without knee braces or a neck brace. I'm 44 but when knee braces first came out I couldn't afford them so I stuck with the pads. Wait until these kids learn what a kidney belt is and how solid they make you feel when you don't have abs of steel, lol.
Turning 32 this month. Never any braces just basic knee pads. Still pull my dads ol' 92' fox kidney belt out at the track 😂 of course I ride a 2 stroke....
28 year old here did not know the purpose of the kidney belt
Dude when I was a kid my dad would try to make me wear a kidney belt... I would always wonder why I had to wear it hahaha
Heck Yea Rizzo. 51 in 7 days. Sooooooo many memories of wearing a GoldBelt kidney belt and bringing around the two velcro straps on each knee pad, pulling up my motocross socks up over them up to my knees, then pants over them. How many times did you see guys rockin' the knee pads outside of their pants? Lol. I blew my knee out at Lake Whitney in '87 and could never afford knee braces until like 2001 when I got Asterisks. I ALWAYS wanted some prescription CTIs.
bro my dad would always wear a kidney belt and i never wore it xD
Sleeter and Ryan Hughes should start their own moto(pod)cast
Just get them both on Gypsytales...
I like them both for sure , but they need Gypsy to break down their super technical explanations. If not their appealing to a very small audience.
I wanna see them race eachother at redbull straight rhythm.... have a day set aside for 'grudge matches' (all in good fun of course).
@@uncoant4750 what an amazing idea. Kenny v webb reed v stewart just have it like boxing where a rider calls someone out 👍🏼 im sure jake paul would prob call out mcgrath 🤣
@@SB-gl9rt brahahahha Jake Paul comment wins the internet today. 😂
Knee pads are affordable protection, knee braces aren't for the most of us
got my knee braces free with my health plan
@@Recedinghairline180 Congratulations
When they stop sticker gouging customers I'll consider full on knee braces. At $600 vs $30 for soft braces and another $50 for decent knee pads over the top of those. Keeps things tight if I need it.
EVS is gonna blow uuuuppppp....
Great pod cast. I watch them all. But Please stop saying the f word. Its discrediting you. Your in a good situation via who you role with. Excel yourself
At first i thought barcia was there live..dude in the studio sounds spot on just like him 😲
How did I know when I saw the title that this would be AJ's vlog being discussed! He gets some good stuff for his race day content.
I've had both my ACLs reconstructed in 97 and 03 from alpine skiing. I never used braces after the injuries. Surgeon said braces can't stop rotational forces inside the knee. They can limit hyper extension though. I came back a better skier each time and went onto achieve more in the sport. I'm 47 now and have just started using braces for enduro and mx (always used knee pads prior) I do like the fact they limit hyper extension and as a tall guy 194cm I can actually grip the bike better, still ride on the balls of my feet and unlock my hips.......no restrictions. I'll keep using them. Mobius
Right on. I bought the Mobius X2 wrist guards for my young son who races MX. I'll keep my eye on the Mobius knee braces.
If they work for you...I'm a good 12cm taller than you are and can't wear them (ex pro athlete with 3 knee surgeries, an ACL that came from a huge guy slamming me on purpose while I was absorbing a jump, and 2 arthroscopic ones for meniscus clearing), knees are fine.
My brother blew his ACL when he was 16 before knee braces were around, he's now 49 and had knee problems his entire life and not been able to run since he was 16!
No average rider (70-80% of people) is going to notice a big enough benefit of not wearing them to make it worth the risk in my opinion.
"Knee braces are for when you blow out your knee", ok I thought you wore braces to prevent that
Dude I know just blew his knee in a simple slow corner with braces on so
Dylan anyone I know who blew there knee out was going slow and doing nothin crazy, just popped it
@@dylanmoore6146 dabbed foot trying to save the crash id bet
I've hurt my self going slow more then fast.
My son rides, his sports med doctor said even if we chose to wear knee braces it was a bad idea before age 15 because under 15 the bones break before the ligaments do.
i destroyed the ligaments in my knee at 14 so that is bollocks xD i dont know whats best for him but he can definitely tear ligaments at 15
Blow out your knee then tell me that you won't wear a knee brace. ACL replacement is no laughing matter, and it is far more expensive - and painful - than purchasing and wearing knee braces. I had full ACL reconstructive surgery on my right knee. I won't ride without them.
GP riders leathers are made to Slide and if your hitting the wall at 300kph your not worried about your knees.
I shattered my patella wearing EVS TP199s. I'm not sure anything would have stopped it from breaking but I have swapped to Pods since and they give me a bit more confidence while healing up.
iv never worn knee braces. always have worn the Thor knee guards for $100. never have had an issue or injury. im 36 yrs old. been racing since i was 13 yrs old. made it to nationals. pro licensed in the 2000s.
I was a local A rider in the 2000s and I wore asterisks, actually some how forgot one at home and decided to sit out an arenacross because of it instead of just putting knee pads on and not missing a race, now looking back I wonder how much they where holding me back.
@@roryrohrer7640 The struggle is ReAL Dude.
Ronnie Man doesn't wear knee braces. Said they cost $69. to much and are only good for 6 to 9 races.
I still wear the same asterisks cell from 2006, saved my knees 'bout 6 or 9 times over the years.
Pretty shitty message to the kids with this whole disregarding safety stuff. Cool the pros don’t use it, but they’re pros. They’re the best in the sport. Telling kids to not use PPE because it slows you down is just stupidity, you guys definately aren’t sponsored by knee brace companies but at this point it sounds like you’re sponsored by surgeons that need the business 👎
Its not disregarding safety, gotta have evidence to back it up and so far with knee braces and neck braces theres no sound evidence or studies that show how effective they truly are, plenty of people will tear an ACL with braces or without, same with neck injuries with or without a neck brace, can argue that you'll ride better without them (in turn ride safer) which makes you less likely to crash, if you're concerned about a message to kids that's the parents job to decide not theirs, if they're old enough let them make their own decisions
Caught a tree at speed during a race, was wearing TP199's, the only knee guards I have worn, loved them. But destroyed my knee, multiple fractures, ACL and MCL torn😭😭😭
Miss the freedom of the TP199's but cannot ride without braces now, need the support.
I think whatever keeps you on the bike and give you the confidence to keep twistin the throttle 👊✊💨💨💨💨
My daughter calls them knee bracelets
I agree knee braces are "IN" these days, but now we need a company to make the best pair out. There are many decent ones, but I have still yet to find a pair that I have no complaints about. Wish I had a way to get into the industry and make my own. Maybe @gypsy tales should start making a pair cough cough.
Lol you'd think the acl is the only part of the knee!
As much as I'm all for more efficient riding plus preventative measures to limit injury, improve recovery, wear your knee braces if you need em & at a minimum pads.
Far too much of the holistic "Yoga" of motocross creeping into the Sport, which as Bambam says, motocross hurts! 😉👊
What next goggles limit the self cleaning of the eye 👁
Yo guys, I'm 53 I've been wear knee braces for 20 years . $20 cheap ass Fox. Only because I don't like road rash on my inner knee. You know the rug burns when you're doing the old cookie swoop in front of the fireplace at night. I've had most injuries. Thank God not so many knee injuries
Of all the guest you have on, he’s by far my favorite. Carries a lot of knowledge and explains everything in a way us novices can understand it.
Street riders dont wear them cause it’s a different calculation. At those speeds the braces help less, if you’re gonna get an injury it’s probably gonna happen with or without them. Motocross there are a lot more chance of small injuries. I’d say that’s the advantage of protective gear, it keeps minor injuries minor so you can keep training/practicing rather than having to take a week off for a slight sprain. If it’s a catastrophic injury I’m not sure they do a lot. Though i’d be curious to see some data
It’s kinda a big deal I just blew the shit out of my knee like 10 months ago and I tore my acl lcl pcl meniscus and mcl but if I would’ve had a knee brace my leg wouldn’t have twisted around itself and I would still be racing
Was it rotation , where you caught your toe on the ground? Only way to prevent that is if the knee brace is attached to the boot.
When you've had a couple of blown out knees you get to the point where I would rather have a broken leg then a blown out ACL meniscus or a bad joint in my leg I can heal quicker from a broken bone than I can from a hyper-extended knee
I use the TLD T-Bone Knee Guards they aren't the greatest but they have worked so far. They're MTB knee guards.
Several years back I bought a pair of Asterisk knee braces and was beyond excited to put them on like most people their first time using them. I rode for 15 minutes, took them off and told my dad I couldn’t do it, and to send them back. Felt really rigid on the bike and like I couldn’t move freely like before. Knew instantly it wasn’t gonna work for me. Haven’t used a pair since. TP199 pads are awesome
I love my knee braces "pods" I can't ride without them . I'm taller so I'll smash my knee off the bars sometimes and it fucking blows if you ain't got braces
I own a couple different knee braces for different types of writing I own a donjoy and then I actually own the protects protects are nice and thin but they don't give you the feel the confidence of the donjoy
Knee braces in Superbike would be a hindrance. I can see it in motocross. Personal preference. Hindsight is 20/20.
It's motocross, you should never feel safe 😮 respect the ride 💪
On that same note as ur not going that fast it doesn’t matter. Stop dabbing ur foot and putting that ski out just keep ur feet on the pegs if u slide out I just ride the bike to the ground it seems less risky for the average rider.
ryno was wearing knee braces this weekend at pala for the lorreta lynn and mammoth qualifier
How do you know?
WTF? hahhahahaha
ive worn knee braces twice in the 5 years ive raced and i hate them. i wont even wear them until i am forced to wear them. they are trash and are not comfortable.
Motogp is the only street race bikes that do hang a leg out
The only reason why I wear knee braces is for when I lay the bike over and the bike is on my leg
You should stop doing that, it sounds painful
I never wore them till I went to b class
I say if you have a knee injury and didnt get it repared, a knee brace is a good mental issurance!! I never worn them till I blew my left ACL/MINISCUS/FIBULA HEAD, now if dont use them I feel unsecured big time, but thats me,(ASTERISK CELL 2.0)
The new intro is dope as fuck
I love my TP199s (not because I ride for EVS and got a free pair at pastranaland when I was there for the pitter race) but they feel so good and flexible to me and I don’t feel em when I ride! I will continue to wear them because I ride enduro/desert/ single track trails like 90% of the time I go ride. Rocks and logs and huge hills. I still wear em when I ride tracks because I’m tall and I’ll smack my knee on the bars sometimes and it’s just mental for me. I’ve fucked up my legs so bad from a backflip on a trampoline and missing the mat and landing shins first on the outer ring to doing a tailwhip on a bmx and having the pedals slam into my shins and knees. Anyways I think it’s better to have more mental side better than flexible for me. I’m autistic so just having a wristband on just helps me feel way more calm. So having kneepads makes me feel better and ready to send it!
Got myself asterisk cell 3.0 för 700 bucks and Evs at same week but i got the Evs to wear
53 vets racer ...been racing for 35 years never worn knee braces. Each to there own.
Tp199 guards are sold out everywhere. Hmmmm. Not because Travis Pastrana or Ryan Hughes or Gypsy or AJ OR Bam Bam sell it to be good.
Idk if I'm just old or what, but I never thought knee braces were cool. I wore knee braces for like 2 practices & hated em. Not just cuz how they felt, but cuz they were destroying my graphics! That was like 2001 or something though, so im sure they prolly came a long way since then, lol
I'm 59 years old with both knee's bone on bone. I wear TP99's or TLD MTN Bike knee pads (yes, MTN Bike) because they are so comfortable and do not restrict my knee flex which is already restricted due to the multiple surgeries and scar tissue regardless of how much yoga and stretching I do. My Ortho surgeon 1000% refuses to prescribe or advocate any type of brace, unless if it is tied to recovery and rehab. Once healthy and riding again, he says protect your knee with good padding and support, but no hinged devices as it restricts your natural movement while riding and in a crash. I ride weekly, MX and Hare Scrambles, and I will rock the knee pads forever. The best analogy I can come up with for riding with braces is... you might as well have your Mom ride on the back of the bike with you too!
Ask any doctor, any real doctor. Braces will not stop an acl blowout. Braces only protect from hyperextension and a potential full blow out of the knee. Doesn’t matter if they are cti or any other brand. Wear what you are comfortable with.
Didn’t run them as a jnr on 85’s. Dabbed a foot into a inside rut as the bike kept moving forward and my foot was twisted backwards with the momentum and weight of the bike. Almost ended my days of riding. Wore them ever since. Twisted and snapped pods in the past and been told If it wasn’t for the knee brace I wouldn’t ride ever again. So definitely recommend 800-1k on protecting my knees then life long medical bills and knee pain.
At 360kph, knee braces, helmets, etc etc etc are useless. All these braces didn't exist when I raced, helmet and goggles,, shoulder pads, kidney belt, gloves and boots(leather) that was it. My arthritis is bareable most days.
Knee pads are for poor people
I never started wearing knee pads untill I blew out my knee. And it's mostly because if I crash on that knee hard again I'll be screwed. But now that I am used to wearing them I can't imagine not using them. It makes me feel safer, and more confident.
Cti braces. Don't know if they are still around. I had them for snocross. Went in for a minor knee injury. Wanted me to get knee braces. Insurance ended up covering them.
the simple $18 Velcro strapped shin pads (oneal, fox, thor) have given me the best results so far.
I’m 54 and just got my first pair of Pod braces. I don’t bounce back like I did when I was 20. I want to ride for 20 more years. Braces give me extra support and impact for single track and hard enduro. After the 3rd ride I was used to them and don’t mind them at all. Will they stop an ACL or MCL injury, I don’t know but impact and crushing force, yes. It’s personal choice not a debate or an argument, just go ride get out and have fun.
Shout out to AJ Catanzaro..
It's nice to have validity from putting shit on knee bracelets haha
When gypsy was talking about his son only being 10 and shouldn’t need knee braces because he’s young, I’m 22 now when I was 7 I was racing at a local track and I had an awkward crash, if I was old enough for my ACL to be developed I would’ve torn it, but because I was so young I had to have screws put in my knee that will stay forever. Age doesn’t matter, knee pads are better than nothing, I didn’t have full on knee braces when I got hurt then, just saying. 👍🏻
Just to clear something up. The VMO isn’t what is going to support the knee if you we ACL deficient, in a closed kinematic chain situation, the Hamstring is what is going to dynamically prevent the proximal tibia from translating forward on the femur (the job of the ACL). Ever felt the hamstrings tendons of someone who is ACL deficient on one side and has ACL on other side?
Fox Titan Pro knee pads with 3M Futuro knee compression supports = best combo ever.
Tell it like it Iis
If he could win a race maybe he would be able to afford some knee braces....buttttt he can't so this makes sense
MADE IN CHINA
I've always worn knee pads/knee guards since I started racing. Yes they'd never do much if you came off and landed on both knees, a bike landing on them or someone running over them but I could never afford knee braces even the cheaper ones and knee guards always felt comfy for me but then again I don't race supercross. I use UFO ones, I switched to no fear hinged ones but they where to bulky and weren't comfy at all so I went back to the UFO ones. I have recently spotted acerbis impact evo 3.0 guards that look quite good so I'm going to buy a pair and try them.
I was a road racer before a motocrosser and I have tweaked my knee road racing but leathers arent meant to have braces underneath and no one wore them. I am scared to ride motocross without braces on.
watch the road racers . they fall and turn to the back leather quick , get those feet away from the ground
while they're prob smart to where I've never had em but been been blessed to only have a torn meniscus
On pavement you're more likely to slide than tumble, on dirt you're tumbling and rolling like a ragdoll.
What video are they watching? Anyone have a link to the full original?
I would to shin guards for soccer to for object flying.
Tried all the braces years ago, uncomfortable, have had Dianese soft shell knee guards for years, they are the best! The knee cap is soft but goes hard on impact, check it out
never worn any in a race, actually more of a budget thing to be honest, but the one time I did it felt awful... and im missing an acl
Haha can’t wait till they come off back order I’m getting a pair for sure and I have plate and screws in one of my knees
evs knee and shin pads for 45 bucks on rocky mt
You can't buy TP 199 knee pads anywhere. At 50 I'm lucky enough not to have knee problems. I've been wearing children's hockey knee pads for 20 years they are so beat I have to tape them to my leg. Been wanting to upgrade but can't get the TP 199s anywhere. Amazon motosport rocky mtn atv all sold out. You guys are great, love your show!
Wait what? I played hockey and raced mx. You mean shin gaurds? That's not really bracing or stabilizing. But hey w.e works man
I blew out my ACL when I was 14. I went down in a corner and my leg got trapped under the bike. I'm 48 now and I've had 4 surgeries on that knee.
The last one was a partial replacement. Trust me when I say that once you have injured a knee it will NEVER be the same. Plus you end up doing
damage to other parts of your body because you over compensate for it. I understand that at the very top of this sport even the tiniest thing can mean
the difference between 1st and 10th. But for the rest of us, we should be wearing as much protection as we can because no matter what position I
finish in this weekend I still need to go to work Monday.
I had 3 knee surgeries on my left one on my right ahahah your so right about the compensation part that's why my right knee needed surgery from babysitting my left for so long
I torn my acl around the age of 10/11 😅
Shout out to Jackie!!!!! Thriller with the Dub in Jay Rez!!!!
Dude EVS is out of stock on these pads so I bought mine off Amazon too!
Never used knee braces never had a knee injury
Lmdao that is where I bought mine from🤣🤣🤣
Dainese Knee Six Pro Knee Guards
Keep up the content.. npone is talking about this stuff and it's a huge game changer.. what else is helpful other then leaving all braces?
Riding with goggles limits your vision so get rid of those, also helmets reduce head movement so leave that at home too. Don’t listen to this shitty topic gypsy is on for some reason
Which of AJs videos is this one?
The old knee brace ads where pro riders would be sitting there with their skins on and strapping the knee braces on was the shit 🤘🏻
I’m 48 and have only ever wore knee pads and never hurt my knees at all, but I have to admit in buying a set a month ago because i don’t bounce so much these days !
Aj with that 33 plate🤣
I run a mountain bike guard called the Fox launch pro D30 works well for frontal impacts and allows some flex to grip the frame however it is risky because it doesn’t laterally stabilize the knee, but proper fitness and form will help with this. Great content Gyps!
It's only risky if you crash 😉
You can't compare road racing to MX because most of their crashes are slides at relatively lower speeds not landing on the face of a jump from 30 feet up or having your leg ripped off by a rut. I would think very few road guys have ever blown out a knee racing and they don't train on their race bike unless they are testing either.
Slides at low speed! What are you watching
@@GYPSYTALES Relatively low speeds. They usually go down in the corners not at top speed on the straights. It's like calling a 40 foot double small compared to a 70 foot triple or a psycho quad. 100 kmh is better than 300 and there usually is lots of run off making it a lot safer. I've gone 250 kmh but I would never consider trying the whoops.
Man you see the two Honda boys hit the fence at turn 7 last round... I get what you’re saying but both sports have a similar chance for enormous crashes.
Also, I crashed a road bike in a turn at 60 last year and tore my rotator cuff in my shoulder and it’s still giving me grief. Crashing sucks period and the argument here is will you reduce the chances of crashing by having better feel and control, or are you better off to brace for impact, literally.
Those Evs are really smooth haha
I tried the Asterisk Cell Carbons.
Hooked my heel in a 4th gear sand berm... I suffered a 2nd degree groin tear. Out for 3 months. I blame the weight of the brace. And I'm in awesome shape.
By the way, never crashed or hit the ground. 1st day wearing them
Love this pod cast. Could listen to Sleeter all day. But I love that Ryno’s thoughts on braces have given you guys weeks of content. And it is interesting to see how many pros have ditched their braces since that pod cast.
I raced this weekend. A kid went directly into me, I fell into his bike, my knee got stuck in his wheel. 3rd gear around a sweeper. I had asterisk braces on. Knee and leg 100% ok. If I didn’t have those knee braces on there’s no way I was walking away. My leg was literally in between the kids wheel and the rear roost guard.
I have always been taught braces cause more damage if not needed medically. Your ankle is your first line of defense supported by boots, your knee is next to absorb impact or flex. If your ankles and knees are braced your hips take all the force. If you injure a hip that can stay with you for a long time. Your ankle and knee is designed to fail first to save your hips
