Kids/work/renovations got in the way and I've been away from the track for quite a while. Bought a new YZ250F and went riding. Had so much fun that I loaded up the next morning and did it all over again. It's a great bike and such a rush to be back at the track again.
I've tried two brands of knee braces but they just don't seem to work well for my legs so I just run traditional knee pads/guards. On the first day, I got that lower scrub on both legs. Thought it might be the knob of weld on the subframe but I don't think that's the right height. I taped my legs up there but then ended up with Yamaknee on the left knee only on the second day. I grip the bike hard (and the bike is a bit chub!) but sheesh has this happened to anyone else? Seemed to push my guards away to allow the damage. Am I the one guy in the world with exactly the right/wrong legs to do this to myself?
I've ordered a set of EVS Pastrana knee guards (any good?) which appear to wrap around and should do the trick.
Oh, I got Yamathumb as well.

Except it was from a rug, and I wasnโt riding a bike!
These remedied my problem. I had Asterisk brand knee socks and they sucked compared to these.

Were you seriously not wearing any pants under the braces? Thatโs gnar bro......
Close to the same thickness as the nike pants as well but hold my CTIs up really well.
