US Guide: Why Stunt Riders Treat Their Gloves as Disposable

US outlet MotoGearRater published a gear guide for stunt riding, noting that stunt crashes are repeated low-speed events rather than rare high-speed ones.

Treating gloves as a consumable actually makes a lot of sense once you look at the real numbers. If ground contact is baked into the sport, wear on stitching and buckles is unavoidable. Going with purpose-built protection like Alpinestars Bionic or Icon Field Armor is the right call. Gear doesn't have a gender, it's about fit — that holds true for stunt riding too.

That $99.99 glove sounds decent for everyday wear too.

Funny how the priorities are basically the opposite of touring gear.

Treating gloves as consumables is a genuinely practical mindset.

Do stunt riders really crash that often?
