·Well after picking up the 50 for my daughter, now I need to get her some gear. For you Socal people, where's a good place to go try on some stuff for a 5 yr old? Helmet, boots, etc etc.
Yea...not familiar with all the areas. Any idea which one would be closest to say the ontario mall...or crapparal?luvtolean said:
Any suggestions on what?BDA116 said:Just remember that it won't fit her in 6 months and buy accordingly.
I'm ordering a set of training wheels today. Will set the throttle position screw. To start off with the training wheels. I'm thinking helmet, eye protection and gloves to go along with long pants and shirt (or a jersey and pants). Not sure boots are needed right now in this learning stage with the training wheels? What ya think? Would you recommend more?BDA116 said:Just don't go overboard on the super expensive stuff. Remeber she is small and not falling very far/fast just yet. Maybe even go a half size too big on the boots. Get a larger helmet with more padding that can be cut down/replaced, etc.
You've got to keep it safe, but no need for top shelf stuff at first.
Did you get the training wheels for the bike, or are you having her just get to it? If no training wheels, maybe some wrist guards?
We went the four wheeler route with our daughter, so the falling off isn't that much of an issue. She's already on her third helmet and I don't know how many pairs of gloves we've gone through. I didn't get her boots the first year, so it's only her second set.
At least go get her some chepo boots at a place like Payless Shoe or Ross or something.RRWANTR said:I'm ordering a set of training wheels today. Will set the throttle position screw.

I should have clarified. She will be wearing over the ankle boots. I meant regular db boots...sorry for not being clear.luvtolean said:At least go get her some chepo boots at a place like Payless Shoe or Ross or something.
