I'm a new rider in Florida. I wear the Rev'It Eclipse jacket, and it's great when riding in the heat. (I installed level 2 armor for the spine - there's a nice pocket for that.)
Glad you mentioned the Eclipse for a warm weather option. I have the men's version and am still convinced it's the best value in that type of jacket. Great jacket, good price, checks all the key boxes and the women get some nice colors.
Im a guy from Australia, just found your channel as im looking to get my first bike asap. Its super interesting to see what shops, the riding community etc looks like overseas!
Really like the new wide angle camera gives much better perspective and clarity. Looking forward to future filming with this new lens. By the way, you're awesome! 😎
Good job !Such a great informative video for the beginners.I am so glad you talked about gloves and safety gear in general because I see so many cruisers never wearing anything besides a helmet.I’m a cruiser but I wear my gear not for myself but for my family because I don’t want to be the reason they have to visit me in the hospital for looking cool if I go down.
Whew! Now I want to roll out to Brooklyn! My biggest gripe with gear is sizing! I’m glad to see there are more companies becoming a little more size inclusive than when I first started riding.
Thanks for the great suggestions! I totally agree with you about doing better in terms of the ladies gear that’s available… Every motorcycle store near me is 95% male, and a tiny section in the back for women with a horrible selection. Sooo anyone else ready to start designing our own line of stylish ladies gear?! 😂
@Derek xPaPaDx Frampton its important to make the gear look good so people are more incentivized to actually wear the gear, even better if it becomes "trendy" to wear gear like helmets have semi recently with all the crazy graphics. Obviously it should be as safe as possible but it also needs to feel good and look good
As a male, I gotta say that my wife isn't stoked about the availability of gear for her to choose from. She's not a super slim girl, and it seems like the vast majority of jackets/pants we can find would not fit her at all. She can find a lid and gloves, and I doubt we'll be able to find her good riding shoes/boots (she has problems finding regular shoes small enough to fit) that would do. Glad to see more female oriented gear, and think that we need to do more to be inclusive of women riders.
@Derek xPaPaDx Frampton I guess my point could be adjusted to this: Men are used to it and wouldn't notice/complain about it. I do not say that there might not be a lack of choices for women. I'm saying men are used to it.
@@PovilasPanavas so?????? What does all your posting have to do with the shortage of women's motorcycle clothing?? And then it's not even true that there isn't a vast choice of "normal" clothing for men because you can find everywhere any kinds of men's clothing stores that sell all kinds of clothes for any style at all price ranges with many different brands and lots of choices. While motorcycle clothing for women is really poor, with very little choice and poorer quality than the male counterpart and also a few sizes available
Thanks for making this video! As a female rider with a similar build, this is so helpful to see you recommend riding pants. I can never find nicely fitted ones in store 😩
late to the reply box but personally for a beginner I would suggest going for a full gauntlet and full boot, reason being is IMO you're more likely to drop the bike or fall off. protection of your ankle, hand/wrist is priority. when you're more season then I'd transition to something like a riding shoe and short gloves when you're more comfortable on your bike. so to me, it is definitely better to be geared as a new rider than semi.
It’s cool that your video features Revzilla. I just recently purchased a phone holder/charger from Revzilla and it got here quick. I’ve been looking at some of the riding shoes they offer. I’m not a woman, but I appreciate what you do for the riding community.
Hi Lali. Bertoman here from the Philippines I love seeing you always smilin' and happy on every vid. You made my day go rockin as I ride my semi-beatup'ed Bajaj CT125. 😅 Shout out from the Philippines. Thanks. Love your channel. 😍
Unfortunately Revzilla is going the wrong direction. I can't be paid enough to go to New York. The entire state is a dumpster fire. They should have come the other direction out of Philly and opened a store in Knoxville. 😁👍
So glad you said it took you 2 weeks to break in the REAX gloves! Bought the same model (but white & black) recently & just tried on a ride--but cut the ride short as I didn't feel comfortable trying to control my Vespa. I've been using a pair of SHIMA gloves that felt great from the start! I just started wearing armored gloves for my recently acquired 150cc Vespa. Used to wear full fingered leather palm bicycling gloves with my little 50cc scooter. Also got an armored shirt (pink, from Skull Riderz) & a jacket for rain, and will try those leggings! Though I do carry more of my own padding now 😜, armor on the knees is always good at any speed. And I will try other ways to break the REAX gloves before trying out in a ride again!! And for more color, I enjoy my fabulous purple ankle boots with orange soles by Johnny Fluevog!
You did good Lali... You did good. Like you said, there are not a lot of recommendations for new riders out there, I know the new women riders will appreciate you taking the time to check out and recommend stuff for them.
I think ya done a good job to help your fellow lady riders. I got pair of the cheap Amazon gloves that was mesh and had reinforced leather in the palms, but they tore after two rides, they worked for quick fix when needed a pair of gloves for summer, now have a much better pair of gloves that are comfortable.
I did not know there were in NYC. Good to know. I start ordering my gears online from them. This way I know the shipping be allot quicker since I'm few states south of NYC.
I have a great Idea. Manufacturers please contact Lali and use her as a model and there are several other ladies that ride. You can watermark their TH-cam channel as a payment. How cool would a collab like that be??
That storage rack system Rev-Zilla has we had back in 1980"s which was used to file computer Cartridges which replaced round reels and the racks would work by electricity rather than manual.
Useful video for the ladies. It's kinda mindblowing for me to see that there is fewer options in women's riding gear there, then here in The Netherlands. I feel like from what i've seen around several stores here, that there's quite a lot more section and options for ladies. Rev'it, Dainese, Alpinestars have great options afcourse. But also a little cheaper options are available for starter riders. Also there's a lot of women and men getting into motorcycling here. Oh and let's not forget that unisex gear has quite some options as well.
Yess omg you have REV'IT! in the Netherlands so I'm sure you guys get all the good stuff. I've seen their offerings in europe, they are way more extensive than what they import here unfortunately
@@AntiParallali Yeah I know right! That's why I am so mindblown. I mean you can always buy online or get it through a store somewhere there, but that'll be more expensive I guess due to the shipment that's included.
Hi Lali, I just got my M2 endorsement after MSF first course in VA. I'm drooling over Triumph Speed 400 and just sat on it at a showroom nearby to try the fit (it was perfect), but before I got my first bike I wanted to get good safety gear and maybe even rent out a few bikes to try them out properly. Safety is my first priority, so was wondering if you had recommendations on specific gear to get for a beginner rider. I get that I need a helmet, jacket, pants, boots, and gloves but if you have specific company recommendations please let me know. Thank you! love your informative videos.
Not to sound sexist butttt..... One of my favorite things about the motorcycle gear industry, is how it makes women feel. FINALY you know what its like to walk into a store and have the clothing section be one rack and none of it fits right. p.s. New subscriber and I love your videos.
I wish there were more color choices in the gap between super bright racing suits and totally black adv gear. It gets hot out there, it'd be nice to have a nice grey or brown or even red that isn't styled like you're racing
im looking at getting a nice riding jacket. Im 5'3 and weigh about the same as you, so i figured you set a relatively accurate example for me when trying on some of the gear. but when i went to try on some jackets, i looked like mr ohairs body gaurds in the lorax. it makes no sense, and i want to know the secret to looking sleek in a riding jacket.. That original jacket you wore (14:36) i really like, where did you get it from?
🌶️ squad.....hi Lali, thanks for having a new lense on the camera it makes a lot of difference...loved the video and hope you enjoyed your trip. With so many options out there it's good to find a retailer who looks after you 👍👏👏👏👏
@12:30 Pocket envy, you have it. heh I may have missed it but did you say which store you preferred? Philly or Brooklyn. I actually live, as a crow flies, closer to NYC but it's a pain getting in and out and the tolls were BS when I last went in. I would rather make it a nice road trip out to PA actually.
Brooklyn? Ugh. But you looked good doing the t. I used to ride between Erie and NYC area every month on my RI. It was faster than flying and renting a car at any airport around NYC, I84 to Catatonic Parkway south.
Got my endorsement in November, looking to get my first bike this summer and I'm looking at a MT07! Also, very excited to get gear but nervous that it won't be comfortable
17:23 seen these in road crashes - they DO the job. But you'll be putting them on and off longer then the riding will take ) And not so nice for walking.
Hi! I know I am a little late to the game here and I love the gear suggestions!! This makes it alot easier to shop for gear in the future. One question I had was where did you get the red backpack you wear when riding? I am looking for a new riding bag/purse and really liked the look of this one you have here.
That one was a gift from my parents from Romania. But...you walk into any department store (assuming you are in the US) Burlington, TJ Maxx, Marshal's, Ross and they alwaysss have a bunch of tiny backpacks over by the purses
You need a bike you can tour on/do long rides. It is time. There used to be the most awesome motorcycle shop 3 miles from my house. They had gear, accessories, a wall of gloves, a tire shop. I used them for years, but they closed up a few years back and I’m really bummed. It’s pretty much just Cycle Gear for me now. They’re further away and don’t have the variety. They have almost no gear I like really. But as a guy, it’s way easier to find gear. Although I gotta say, most of it looks dorky and baggy. It’s got to be hard for a gal. You seem to mange pretty well. Women’s gear (and men’s frankly) has come a long way in the last 20 year, but still has a long way to go. I wish there was a Revzilla store in Silicon Valley. They have a lot of stuff. I know you can order and the return policies are great. I’ve used that to find gear for a cross country tour before. I did like 3 returns. But it’s kind of a pain and I’d really rather just try stuff on and buy it. Old school, I know. NO POCKETS? R E J E C T ! I would hate having to carry a purse if I were a woman. I’ve never been a fan of big armor on the knuckles for my gloves. You land palms out, not knuckles out and the armor sticks out WAY too much. Siri makes great boots, but they are narrow. I would never wear a half boot. I like my ankles. It’s too easy to roll your ankle in the simplest get offs. Even like forgetting to put your kickstand down type get offs.
Hey lali, new rider and I see on your other videos and on this thumbnails that your wearing like this really nice Rev it jacket and pants and I can’t find it 😅 unless I missed it in this video of something but like I really like your “everyday” gear that you wear, especially for colder weather
I know you're the perfect size for what's in stock, but I really wish that stores carried jackets for larger women. Most are like a binder for me. And why do they only stock black? Especially for us in the desert. I had to order a white helmet online and have it shipped. And yes, we need more women's gear in stock. Thank you.
I don't think you could possibly pick Anything that would make you look bad. If anything you would make something that is horrible look amazing. No doubt 😮
So I recently had to get new gear all over again because I took a little slide outside of Boston on i95 at the start of June and ended a short road trip. Of course that meant *shopping*. But even in the handful of years I bought what I was wearing what I was when I went down, I was surprised to see how much changed. Ece22.06 came out, MIPS came out. Everything doubled in price. It took me almost 2 months since the crash (happened June 4th and its July 23 now) to find gear. Wound up with the same touring jacket and pants I had because I can't find anything else I like for distance. I can't find gloves I like right now and I'm super picky about fit and everyone is going to have a different option on that, so let's all agree to disagree. I wound up in a MX helmet because I won't settle for less than ece22.06 and MIPS and they didn't have anything else that would fit and I was running out of time to get back on the proverbial horse. I also am now "that guy" because I now ride with an airbag vest. I still have my touring boots I crashed in and they are more than serviceable. A good nod to the durability of good boots. My opinion is it's good to see more brick and mortar stores popping up. It's hard to get a feel for how something online would fit when you try something on that feels great in the store that then kills your hands after 200 miles. And that's coming from someone that isn't an old man, but I have found my place on the seat of a Goldwing and I ride with a travel wardrobe full of riding gear I've gathered in my close to 20 years in the saddle so I can change out throughout the day depending on heat and weather conditions.
Do you have an aesthetic style for gloves that you’re Looking for or your primary concern is fit and feel and safety? Need cold or warm weather gear? For warmer weather there’s a glove I can potentially recommend if you don’t mine it being function over form majorly and in the $100 range.
@@Fee.1 it's less about aesthetics and more about fit and safety. I have odd shaped hands and it's hard to find something that actually fits that actually provides protection. I'm probably going to go back to the gloves I was wearing when I went down. They doubled 8n price up over $100. But I work with my hands, so I have to protect them.
Pls lmk if you come across any mens leather jackets with full white sleeves like the xena 2 or 3. Seriously considering spending a crazy amount of money on a custom jacket at this point
Boots should not be a "maybe later" thing. Boots were the first piece of motorcycle specific gear invented, because bike falls often result in foot/ankle injury. Good motorcycle boots have stronger toe boxes and far more ankle protection than combat boots or Docs. Additionally in a crash, that engine or exhaust can easily end up resting on your foot or ankle, so it's important that the boots be made with materials and / or have enough thickness to reduce the heat transferred to you. The really high quality (and cost, so out of the conversation for this recommendation list) have additional stabilization that help to keep your ankle from twisting. Like most pieces of motorcycle gear, you need to make sure you're getting good, protective gear, and not just "costume" gear.
Footage looks solid. Depth of field is surprisingly shallow in your close up portrait clip at the beginning, which is good but hard to achieve on a GoPro. Are you using a dslr or something??? Or you got the max lens mod for your GoPro?
Oh I see the camera later in the video. Now it makes sense. I was like how tf is she getting such a tight depth of field with a GoPro ?!? What camera is it? Alpha 6 ? I looked at Sonys dedicated clogging camera but didn’t like that you couldn’t swap lenses.
@@ReviewTechAFRICA I leave as many fucking comments as come to mind while I’m watching her video. She asked for feedback on the new lens. GO FUCK YOURSELF.
Lens is good lali I can see you clearly now you look more beautiful 😁.. Are those biker suit hanging on the walls really wore by moto gp riders or they are just another suit for sale ?
I love Revzilla, but shopping from online places is so hard because i always wanna try stuff on and get real time, in person help with all my gear and or questions. I wonder if you know any good places in or around LA that have good gear and service.
I'm in the uk and most shops only have a couple of women's items of each kind and some of them make you look like a stunted man. Oh but it's safe they say. We are lucky enough to have several women's clothing designers in Europe who keep you safe and looking like a woman shape. So come on shops! I have to buy my gear online at the moment, including helmets after the shop only had ONE in my size. My favourite brands are Rev'it, RST and Ixon.
How did you Drew's date go, ribs looked good. So cool you met all the different people. Those reax have been around a long time, they are what I had in 2016, someone stole them off my motorcycle while I was in a convenient store 🤑😕
Typically in-stores I rarely see really small or really large sizes. They'll mostly carry S,M,L and very limited selection too for ladies. Your best bet is online at Revzilla.com
Doooont skip on shoes! Beginers usually injure lower body. I thank the lord I starred in what u called too much because it saved my foot when bike fell on my foot in the worst way. Since I had such high protection I was able to push my bike 1 mile.. since my cluch was broken but not my foot. Rayne F9 talks about how he broke his toes since he didn't have toe protector. Injuring ur leg or foot means for many people u can't work.. it's not like an arm where u still have a fully functioning 2nd arm. 1 thing goes wrong with ur leg and ur crippled at least for a little bit. Don't skip out just wait and save if u have to
Revzilla get the hint Lali could be your model and skyrocket your sales
I pitched the idea 😂
Revzilla needs a store in Texas 😁
Great idea. I didn’t know there was a store in Brooklyn
@@AntiParallali awesome should be no brainer for them
OR become Cycle Gear model as thats the closest motorcycle store to me ... LOL
I'm a new rider in Florida. I wear the Rev'It Eclipse jacket, and it's great when riding in the heat. (I installed level 2 armor for the spine - there's a nice pocket for that.)
It’s nice to see younger riders providing great content ! Hopefully new riders will learn a few things. Thanks
Glad you mentioned the Eclipse for a warm weather option. I have the men's version and am still convinced it's the best value in that type of jacket. Great jacket, good price, checks all the key boxes and the women get some nice colors.
I’m not a woman nor do I hv a desire to buy woman’s riding gear, yet her charm hypnotized me to watch the entire video. ❤️
Haha hey maybe you can share the info now if any girl is looking for gear advice!
Im a guy from Australia, just found your channel as im looking to get my first bike asap.
Its super interesting to see what shops, the riding community etc looks like overseas!

The Suzuki leathers. Not 100% sure but I think it is Alvaro Bautista(circa 2011) when he was in MotoGP. Currently the points leader in WSBK.
i was thinkinhg the same but if i look at pics back then they had Rizzla i yellow on the front same as chris vermeulen and john hopkins

That one was a gift from my parents from Romania. But...you walk into any department store (assuming you are in the US) Burlington, TJ Maxx, Marshal's, Ross and they alwaysss have a bunch of tiny backpacks over by the purses
You make all of them look great 👍
The jacket fits you perfectly.
You need a bike you can tour on/do long rides. It is time.
There used to be the most awesome motorcycle shop 3 miles from my house. They had gear, accessories, a wall of gloves, a tire shop. I used them for years, but they closed up a few years back and I’m really bummed. It’s pretty much just Cycle Gear for me now. They’re further away and don’t have the variety. They have almost no gear I like really. But as a guy, it’s way easier to find gear. Although I gotta say, most of it looks dorky and baggy. It’s got to be hard for a gal. You seem to mange pretty well. Women’s gear (and men’s frankly) has come a long way in the last 20 year, but still has a long way to go.
I wish there was a Revzilla store in Silicon Valley. They have a lot of stuff. I know you can order and the return policies are great. I’ve used that to find gear for a cross country tour before. I did like 3 returns. But it’s kind of a pain and I’d really rather just try stuff on and buy it. Old school, I know.
NO POCKETS? R E J E C T !
I would hate having to carry a purse if I were a woman.
I’ve never been a fan of big armor on the knuckles for my gloves. You land palms out, not knuckles out and the armor sticks out WAY too much.
Siri makes great boots, but they are narrow. I would never wear a half boot. I like my ankles. It’s too easy to roll your ankle in the simplest get offs. Even like forgetting to put your kickstand down type get offs.
cool store, I still will stay out of New York and stick with Philly. but it does seem like they have more
What was your first sport bike, as I’m looking a sport bike myself, I any recommendations ( uk viewer)
Check out Tiffany Burkett sometime. She rode a FZ07 all over the US and a lot of Mexico.
oh wow yeah! Just saw some of her photos, that FZ looks well seasoned!
Hey lali, new rider and I see on your other videos and on this thumbnails that your wearing like this really nice Rev it jacket and pants and I can’t find it 😅 unless I missed it in this video of something but like I really like your “everyday” gear that you wear, especially for colder weather
It may be the REV'IT! Xena 3 jacket (in the video it's the Xena 2 but that one is no longer made)
Thank you!
I know you're the perfect size for what's in stock, but I really wish that stores carried jackets for larger women. Most are like a binder for me.
And why do they only stock black? Especially for us in the desert. I had to order a white helmet online and have it shipped.
And yes, we need more women's gear in stock. Thank you.
Where I am, women can usually get black, white or pink. And if you’re male, you can get black. Maybe grey, so you can blend in and REALLY not be seen.
@@TheMNB I'd love the white but it's all in skinny sizes 😆
Where is that suit from that your wearing on the banner?
It's the revit Xena2, that one is no longer made but it's been replaced by the Xena3 and Xena4
it's not that bad... I got my MT 07 and a week after I ride from Phoenix to SD to visit my sister.... 6hrs to sd... 7hr back to Phoenix
i didn’t know philly got revzilla, gotta go check out some helmets. Hard to find round shape helmets 😔
I don't think you could possibly pick Anything that would make you look bad. If anything you would make something that is horrible look amazing. No doubt 😮
Do you hate Garlic by any chance?
Yes and sunlight

I have that helmet and at cycle gear it's only 180 bux
So I recently had to get new gear all over again because I took a little slide outside of Boston on i95 at the start of June and ended a short road trip. Of course that meant *shopping*. But even in the handful of years I bought what I was wearing what I was when I went down, I was surprised to see how much changed. Ece22.06 came out, MIPS came out. Everything doubled in price.
It took me almost 2 months since the crash (happened June 4th and its July 23 now) to find gear. Wound up with the same touring jacket and pants I had because I can't find anything else I like for distance. I can't find gloves I like right now and I'm super picky about fit and everyone is going to have a different option on that, so let's all agree to disagree. I wound up in a MX helmet because I won't settle for less than ece22.06 and MIPS and they didn't have anything else that would fit and I was running out of time to get back on the proverbial horse. I also am now "that guy" because I now ride with an airbag vest. I still have my touring boots I crashed in and they are more than serviceable. A good nod to the durability of good boots.
My opinion is it's good to see more brick and mortar stores popping up. It's hard to get a feel for how something online would fit when you try something on that feels great in the store that then kills your hands after 200 miles. And that's coming from someone that isn't an old man, but I have found my place on the seat of a Goldwing and I ride with a travel wardrobe full of riding gear I've gathered in my close to 20 years in the saddle so I can change out throughout the day depending on heat and weather conditions.
Do you have an aesthetic style for gloves that you’re Looking for or your primary concern is fit and feel and safety? Need cold or warm weather gear? For warmer weather there’s a glove I can potentially recommend if you don’t mine it being function over form majorly and in the $100 range.
@@Fee.1 it's less about aesthetics and more about fit and safety. I have odd shaped hands and it's hard to find something that actually fits that actually provides protection. I'm probably going to go back to the gloves I was wearing when I went down. They doubled 8n price up over $100. But I work with my hands, so I have to protect them.
@@Psikeomega have you looked at Lee parks design gloves ?
@@Psikeomega if you turn comments on on your fly fishing video we can continue convo there but I may be able to help
@@Fee.1 I'll have to check them out
A hard to find, but good brand (although pricey, but you get what you pay for here) is Daytona.
Pls lmk if you come across any mens leather jackets with full white sleeves like the xena 2 or 3. Seriously considering spending a crazy amount of money on a custom jacket at this point
Boots should not be a "maybe later" thing. Boots were the first piece of motorcycle specific gear invented, because bike falls often result in foot/ankle injury. Good motorcycle boots have stronger toe boxes and far more ankle protection than combat boots or Docs. Additionally in a crash, that engine or exhaust can easily end up resting on your foot or ankle, so it's important that the boots be made with materials and / or have enough thickness to reduce the heat transferred to you. The really high quality (and cost, so out of the conversation for this recommendation list) have additional stabilization that help to keep your ankle from twisting. Like most pieces of motorcycle gear, you need to make sure you're getting good, protective gear, and not just "costume" gear.
Totally agree
Footage looks solid. Depth of field is surprisingly shallow in your close up portrait clip at the beginning, which is good but hard to achieve on a GoPro. Are you using a dslr or something??? Or you got the max lens mod for your GoPro?
Oh I see the camera later in the video. Now it makes sense. I was like how tf is she getting such a tight depth of field with a GoPro ?!? What camera is it? Alpha 6 ? I looked at Sonys dedicated clogging camera but didn’t like that you couldn’t swap lenses.
Lmao how many comments are you gonna leave? Take it down a notch, goober.
@@ReviewTechAFRICA I leave as many fucking comments as come to mind while I’m watching her video. She asked for feedback on the new lens. GO FUCK YOURSELF.
Awww I missed your visit!. Oh well maybe next time =)
hello, have someone a recommendation for a ladies biker pants that look normal like legging or something like that thats safe foor highway so 130km?
I wear these now bit.ly/oxfordjeggings2
Lens is good lali I can see you clearly now you look more beautiful 😁.. Are those biker suit hanging on the walls really wore by moto gp riders or they are just another suit for sale ?
Excellent! Felicitări! 😉
Did the spicy red thread of the Mazda play into choosing it? 💯✌️🤟🤘
Haha no, I added the red trim. But I do like the look!
I love Revzilla, but shopping from online places is so hard because i always wanna try stuff on and get real time, in person help with all my gear and or questions. I wonder if you know any good places in or around LA that have good gear and service.
I think they have plans for an LA store soon
I'm in the uk and most shops only have a couple of women's items of each kind and some of them make you look like a stunted man. Oh but it's safe they say. We are lucky enough to have several women's clothing designers in Europe who keep you safe and looking like a woman shape. So come on shops! I have to buy my gear online at the moment, including helmets after the shop only had ONE in my size. My favourite brands are Rev'it, RST and Ixon.
How did you Drew's date go, ribs looked good. So cool you met all the different people. Those reax have been around a long time, they are what I had in 2016, someone stole them off my motorcycle while I was in a convenient store 🤑😕
I have a couple pair by RacerX that I really like.
Can this be applied for menswear as well ?
Do you know if revzilla or any other motorcycle gear stores carry plus sizes for women? (Like 2XL-4XL)
Typically in-stores I rarely see really small or really large sizes. They'll mostly carry S,M,L and very limited selection too for ladies. Your best bet is online at Revzilla.com
Alright thank you!
Doooont skip on shoes! Beginers usually injure lower body. I thank the lord I starred in what u called too much because it saved my foot when bike fell on my foot in the worst way. Since I had such high protection I was able to push my bike 1 mile.. since my cluch was broken but not my foot. Rayne F9 talks about how he broke his toes since he didn't have toe protector. Injuring ur leg or foot means for many people u can't work.. it's not like an arm where u still have a fully functioning 2nd arm. 1 thing goes wrong with ur leg and ur crippled at least for a little bit. Don't skip out just wait and save if u have to
I order short pants in 3" larger waist size because I keep gaining 25# in the winter.. Then I just wear a belt if I get my weight back under control .
I absolutely hate NYC including the entire state
