If you made one post, I never would've said anything.
Thank god you didn't decide you needed 500 responses.

Sorry
I was just trying to reach different people across different threads, I get its annoying fully, and I will not be doing this again!

Maybe posting a poll would be a good choice. Op, Maybe that could be added?

Didn't argue, just gave my opinion. Don't really care how he spends his time.
Didn't do an e-investigation on him, so no idea whether he was 8 or 80. 🤷‍♂️

Honestly I respect you for that and I get your reason for not liking what I am doing

I always wear gloves. Here's a little story: My friend and I are in our first year on motorcycles (1989) and while out riding around we decided to do a drag race off a stop sign. I shoot out in front but miss the shift to second gear, slipping back to neutral. Meanwhile he's accelerating hard and as he hits the engines powerband he slams right into the back of me, needless to say he went flying and crashed hard on the pavement. Arms spread out in front of him, hands on the pavement to break his fall at probably 35mph. Rips the skin off of both palms (wasn't wearing gloves or helmet, had flipflop shoes and short sleeve shirt). I heard his screams of agony all the way from the waiting room as the nurse scrubbed his skinless palms with a heavy bristled brush to get all the debris out of his hands before they would dress the wounds.
Now MTB trails aren't pavement but you could still rip some skin pretty easy on the trails I ride.
Dress for the crash, not for the ride.👍

Oh, good point, I'll cut him some slack, though he did over post the question but it seems he has now realized it.

Good luck, kid!

And btw, still amazes me how much I sweat through my hands and how bad my gloves smell!

My mistake.
"sh*t on a little scooter kid's dreams of becoming a YouTuber" may have been a more accurate description of your interaction? Lol

Not that I I dislike it' (well, aside from the spam-posting

), more that I don't get it.
That's nothing new for me though.
It's all good.

Could be.
A little constructive criticism never killed anyone much.

I don't see how this is even up for debate.

I wear shoes, helmet, gloves, and glasses every ride. Sometimes a jersey. Often shorts as well.

I have tender feet so shoes are a must.

Gloves- always
XC, trail, road
MA

Gloves range from fingerless to insulated winter

I thought you had to be 18 to be a "youtuber". Until that age, I thought they were called "groms".

Always wear gloves. Downhill. Lowcountry of South Carolina, but I ride southern North Carolina (Dupont, Pizgah, Kanuga).

There's no 'debate'.
Some people wear gloves and some don't.
No one is trying to tell anyone else what they should do.

Oh wait..unless that's what you're doing.
In which case, it's none of your business.

I doesn't help that he communicates better than half the adults here.
Threw me off.

In my opinion, to call yourself a "YouTuber" you actually have to make some sort of living doing it. I can cook food, but that doesn't make me a chef. I take pictures, but I'm not a photographer.

Come on...give him a break.

You ride a mountain bike. That makes you a mountian biker.

Dmaelstrom · Jun 8, 2021

Always with gloves as more comfy. Fingerless for stunner and full gloves for cold winter rides. Good luck!

JKA · Jun 9, 2021

Gloves, Yes, every ride. Hot, cold, no matter what or where. I wear these bad boys. No sense taking any chances.
