   Full Face!!! Many people value their jaws, teeth and dental work, but of course you British well…..the entire planet knows just how crappy your dental hygene practices are. Go hit your face with a rock. Knee Pads/Armor. Any serious moto rider knows ATTGATT. Many places don’t have free fookin health care. Nobody cares what you think. You guys and your pompous "fashion poser" shite are the same reason Brexit has your nuts in a twist and why people who should be wearing armor aren’t. Quit being such fashion diva Bellends. Instant unsub.

   if this had been titled ‘2 guys bitching about fashion’ or ‘2 men making fun of clothing’ it would have been more accurate

   and i wouldn’t have watched it

    Women and queers care about fashion.
    Which one are you?

    
    
    
20. Teet E on July 9, 2019 at 9:16 pm

    I wear fullface commuting to work and back in downtown with a hardtail and loving every meter of it. It would be shame to lose teeth to a curbstone and i have had some close calls.
    If someone ridicules something just by the looks , you know that they"re full of shit

    Skin suit with knee pads. I rock that outfit all the time.

    
    
    
23. KzS_ Guenther_Luetjens on July 9, 2019 at 9:20 pm

    I don’t care about the enduro gap, i ride my bike with trainers, jordan’s, skate shoes, mixing tight or loose football trikots with work trousers or shorts, baggies, jogging trousers, lederhosen, whatever. So what? 🙂

26. Philip Addyman on July 9, 2019 at 9:23 pm

    What about wearing full face helmet on road sportive event or cyclo cross race?Seen both.

    
    
    
27. Chuck Taylor on July 9, 2019 at 9:26 pm

    Correction: These are the Fashion Rules. So the free spirit of mountain biking has fashion rules. When did Millennials and Snowflakes follow rules. Wear what you want and have fun.

    A warning to all those newbs who go with baggy shorts… make sure they aren’t too baggy. The last two times I fell on my singlespeed was while dismounting after flubbing going over an obstacle, had to put a foot down to avoid a spill and my shorts caught on the saddle horn! No harm done but I could’ve done without landing in the cold frigid creek lol.
    Fit isn’t so much a style thing as a safety thing.
    FYI I’ve worn everything from cutoff sweat pant shorts to baggies to road shorts. On hot summer rides there is nothing wrong with road shorts offroad, indeed if I’m managing to get my fat arse up the hill on my old school ss I don’t think anyone is going to laugh too hard…

    
    
    
29. Rusty Nugget on July 9, 2019 at 9:29 pm

    let your speed determine your helmet. i can slam an intermediate course hard and put myself in way more danger than a slow rider down an advanced

    
    
    
30. Arbiter MTB on July 9, 2019 at 9:29 pm

    I just wear tracksuit and hoodie combined with a BMX helmet and Nike air’s…

    Even on a road bike 😂

    
    
    
31. Furiosa Sinclair on July 9, 2019 at 9:31 pm

    What is this, grade school? I go full face on my Roscoe 8 on what YOU might consider to be bunny trails, but I FEEL SAFE. You don’t like that I should feel the way I want to feel when I ride? Then BEGONE!! And take your bullshit fashion shaming elsewhere.

    
    
    
32. MTB Matt on July 9, 2019 at 9:33 pm

    I ride with my pads over my jeans because they protect my jeans and If I wreck my jeans my mum will go mad

    
    
    
33. Ola Sigurd Vestbøstad on July 9, 2019 at 9:34 pm

    Rule: never do it bear footed

    Bike your own bike.

    
    
    
35. bete tete on July 9, 2019 at 9:35 pm

    really dont understand why tights aernt more of a thing. who gives a fuck. get a lil yoga in before the ride. riooooght

    
    
    
36. Leif Ashley on July 9, 2019 at 9:35 pm

    Some of this is flat out bad advice… if you ever feel you need a full face helmet, wear one. If you have a $20 head, get a $20 helmet.

    
    
    
37. Ariel Aganon on July 9, 2019 at 9:36 pm

    too many rules

    
    
    
38. Jeff Ward on July 9, 2019 at 9:37 pm

    Wow, this is pretty much the douchiest MTB video I’ve seen on YouTube. GMBN just earned an unfollow.

    
    
    
39. doug h on July 9, 2019 at 9:37 pm

    Im glad im not the only one who questions the helmet B.S. rule, lol. I’m 40 yrs old , and i LOVE bombing hills and trails on my bike. What the F— do i care about anyones thoughts about my helmet or any of my safety gear. As long as i am comfortable, confident, and make it home to my kids and family in one piece- Thats all that matters to me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I suppose theres an unspoken rule about wearing hard knee and shin pads as well, unless youre some enduro superstar????….. I wear hard knee and shin pads because ive dislocated my knee 8 times in my life, and i am FINALLY fully recovered from a compound tibial plateau fracture from 14 months ago that cost me my 11 year marriage. Wearing what i wear not only protects me but it gives me the confidence to push myself to MY limits because i know im much less likely to lose a job and my family due to injury and lack of insurance like i did a year ago. To hell with anyone who has something to say about my full face helmet and my hard knee and shin pads. I thought you guys were better than this, now i’m certainly questioning that thought process……

    Luckily here in 2019, we have abandoned much of the snobbery. Ive been riding for about 5 months and i do shorts and kneepads dirtjumping, never jeans, even though that is the proper attire, its just uncomfortable… Also i had a Helmet from riding horses, havent gotten around to getting a MTB Helmet.. Its expensive, my whole bike was 180 pounds and i do just fine.. Get the odd look, but who cares.. On another video Blake was talking about not using goggles with enduro Helmet, only glasses, but now you get enduro helmets with a strap for your goggles, like a snowboarding Helmet…. Things change people and us newbies dont adhere to your snobbery!! Haha, oh ya my shorts do also creep up so skin is visible over my kneepads. !!!!! Oh the horror!!!!!!

    
    
    
41. Viktor Tsvetanov on July 9, 2019 at 9:42 pm

    It would be very nice if you give some advice what is good if something is bad. Pros and Cons. If skin suits are not good then baggy Fox Demo pants are… and things like this.

    
    
    
42. Racer086 on July 9, 2019 at 9:45 pm

    After dislocating my jaw in a bike accident I will never not wear a full face. Thanks for the shitty advice.

    
    
    
43. C Merkat on July 9, 2019 at 9:48 pm

    Probably the worst video GMBN ever made…. Sorry guys….

    Nothing better than seeing a daggy rider blitzing the show ponies on track, ability isn’t about how you look

    Bitch less ride more my little fashion divas.

    
    
    
46. ewanok on July 9, 2019 at 9:54 pm

    Don’t mix lycra and public places.

    
    
    
47. becks431 on July 9, 2019 at 9:55 pm

    Wear what you can afford. First and foremost is a helmet. From there, get some knee and elbow protection along with gloves. Don’t worry about whether or not it looks fashionable. Just get out, ride and enjoy. Leave the fashion police at home.

    
    
    
48. Mick Dobson on July 9, 2019 at 9:57 pm

    Haha, I did a coast to coast road bike ride in full enduro gear bar the knee pads….keeping it real🤘🏻….with flats

    
    
    
49. Bas on July 9, 2019 at 9:58 pm

    a fullface helmet is more safe. safety > fashion. freaking terrible advice to not wear one, just because others might talk.

    
    
    
50. hanestshirtsarecool on July 9, 2019 at 10:02 pm

    #1 rule!!! Don’t judge other bikers. Especially what they’re wearing.
