Spazmoso, I live in the country.

People don't call the cops because they are so use to hearing fourwheelers/dirtbikes pass by.

It's state property, they don't care if you ride out there, as long as you don't tear their stuff up.  

thats cool as long as nobody cares,but id still be careful with it being state property.

Spazmoso, were do you ride at and what do you need to ride there cuz i dont have anything i just started so i dont have no gear at all  

helmet and boots for sure the other stuff can wait if you dont have the cash flow.i know that there are some good package deals from oneal at real reasonable prices,quality gear.

yeah ive looked its not cheap for the helmet and boots im still saving for it moneys tight right now but were do you ride at  

the cliffs,fox valley off road bong recreation,and have been to rocky glen,some longer weekends at some out of state riding parks

Riding gears

Boots+helmet (optional) and some old cloths is simple  

you dont have to look like a pro to have a blast buy helmets new,boots if hardly used would save a ton of cash mabye even let you get a jersey or pants.

Boots=Major protection from rocks from tires etc
Gloves=Warmth+Better grip and great protection from rocks kicking up Also trees and thorns

Goggles are pretty much a must have essential rocks to the eyes hurt, bugs, dust etc

Long sleeve shirt is needed
Jeans are also needed.

For jumping

Helmet
Neck brace are life savers : )  

Bong Recreation area is a good one for easy trails, it's closed right now because they're redoing it. Fox Valley Off road is ok, I've only been there once, and didn't explore to far because a lot of the trails are more technical, big inclines and declines. Those are teh only two I know of. I went to Buffalo Offroad once, but they are closed now.

I would not consider a helmet as optional, its the most important piece (in my opinion, of course...).
