Well i thought workboots would suffice as riding boots. WRONG! Time to go buy some real MX boots, after my foot is able to kick again. :roll: Ripped right through the boot and the sock i was wearing, luckily it didnt tear through my foot. haha

Makes the compression release mod real attractive now huh?

I've ruined a few tennis shoes while kicking mine over but never work boots.
Sweet!
Hope you heal soon.
Being injured and wanting to ride really stinks :cry:

I have KX scars on my shin.

No B/S I did the exact same thing way back in the day when I first got my KX 500. I thought I would grab my helmet and go for a spin one day after work, in my work boots. Not trying to one up ya but I did tear the side out of my foot. After trying in vain to push start the bike I then had to buck up and just kick it with the old bloody ripped open foot. That s**t hurt like hell didn't it.

DoldGuy: haha yeah dude! But I know a person who is selling a pair of AlpineStars tech 8's i think, in good condition and fit perfect, for $30 so I think that might help some too. ;)
sandblaster: Yeah dude hopefully I'll be able to kick it over by Friday I'm off that day so I wanna go to a local trail for the day.
littlewing: dude how did it hit your shin?
BDI: Dude, it sucked and yeah I'm way lucky. I'm sorry that happened to ya I'll be stoked when I get those freakin' AlpineStars.

OUCH! I'm thankful I grew up on a 76 WR360 husky that had a left hand kicker! I can use my left foot the same as my right. :-)

Thats gotta hurt big time, think weve all had it if youve owned a kx500 mine was in 88 even with the fox ricky johnson replicas i had then it still managed to hit the only part that could cause pain!! not as bad as my mates 86 CR500 that was built to kick back , worse bike ive ever known for it!!

sounds backwords, but I'd rather ride a bike with MX boots than a helmet. Don't get me wrong, I never ride without all the gear, but my first choice is boots.
