If you're just starting out you're not going to have all the latest gear, but you need to wear stuff to keep you in one piece.
Helmet – A MUST!
You won't be allowed on the track without a helmet. Helmets can be hired at the club for $2.00Long sleeved Shirt – elbows covered, and should be tucked inLong pants, preferably a heavy fabric, old jeans are good but need to be tucked into socks or taped around your ankles. They will end up in your chain otherwise.Shoes and Socks - Real shoes and do them up firmly, socks help protect your ankles if you crash!Gloves -Your hands will be the first thing to hit the ground when you lose it, and yes you will fall off, everyone does! Gloves can be hired at the club for $2.00
Remember If someone in charge at the track asks you to change what you're wearing - don't argue with them.They've seen what wearing incorrect clothing can do, and probably don't want to spend lots of time picking bits of you off the track!
You can source elbow pads from The Warehouse and they will keep your skin on your elbows instead of spread along the track! Good ones, from bike shop, will cost way more but will stop just about any damage to your arms.
Same deal as elbows..... depends how many scars you want !!!! They must have a rigid surface that extends from the knee protection to fully cover the shin or to just above the ankle.
