Safety Equipment

When luge boarding most people wear the following:

• Motorbike leathers

• Motorbike boots

• Motorbike gloves

• Full face motorbike helmet

But me not being most people have opted for slightly different equipment:

• 2 pairs trousers

• 2 shirts

• Old jumper

• Old trainers

• Sailing gloves

• Hat and sunglasses

The gloves are necessary otherwise your hands will shred when you push on the road.

The trainers must be in one piece because these are your brakes.

The sunglasses are so you look good going down hills.

All though this won't save you in a big crash it will save your skin from shredding in minor crashes.

When selecting clothes, go for ones with a close weave because they protect you most. Don't wear denim though because it's crap and won't help you at all.
