seems all good
but i think kcuf all of the new gloves rule, some people including me just hate wearing gloves full stop. they dont protect you from any real injuries, it should be the riders choice wether they want to wear gloves or not.

as yo all seem to despise riding wth gloves all you have to do is start the race with gloves, get a couple of metres down the track then take them off and say they got ripped up. u wont win, but you wont have to ride wearing gloves!!!

Its interesting to see how riding without gloves has become so fashionable in the last year or two with the rise of mr blenkinsop.
Back in the day the only chaps you'd see without them were Mr Boyce and Mr Rankin
I dont get why its such a big deal to everyone, either you can follow their rules willingly and race, or disagree with them and stay home

I think the vast majority of people ride with gloves anyway, from what I've seen. I've trashed a few pairs of gloves by crashing, too, and I hate to think what my hands would have been like without them. And the little grip pads on my gloves braking fingers grip the brake levers alot better than my bare digits would.
I've never raced DH without full finger gloves. I guess that makes me less of a man than some on this thread. Oh well.
