[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 1302573, member: 17212"] Red. Quite the contrary. The gear gives you a feeling of confidence when you get used to it. The only thing that bothered me was the elbow and forearm guards. They kept sliding down on my wrists when I would land hard off of a jump or on a very rough track. If I tightened the straps enough to keep them on my arms, they gave me arm pump. I wound up attaching them to the shoulder flaps on my chest protector with nylon ties. Now I can leave the straps loose and they dont slide down. When you look at the scrapes and gouges on the elbow and knee guards you will realize how good they do their jobs. I have a chest protector that I keep around just to show people how good they protect you. It was one that I landed on while coming onto a pavement section in a Grand Prix. Got pitched over the bars and landed on my back and slid about fifty feet into a corner on pavement. Got up and finished the race. If I hadn't had that chest protector on it would have messed me up pretty good. It's all about having fun. Find your own pace and keep at it. You will eventually get your confidence back. Where do you live? There are probably a bunch of old farts close by that you could ride with. [/QUOTE]
