ATGATT
All The Gear All The Time. No exceptions. No “just a quick ride around the block.” No “it’s too hot for a helmet.” Every ride. Full gear.
What counts as full gear
At minimum: helmet, wrist guards, knee pads. For faster riding: full-face helmet, elbow pads, padded jacket or armor. The specific gear varies by speed and style, but the principle doesn’t.
Why it exists
Because the ride where you skip gear is statistically the same as every other ride - until it isn’t. Crashes don’t schedule themselves around your comfort preferences.
555 take
ATGATT is not negotiable at 555. We don’t review gear as optional. We don’t feature riders without protection. If you ride, you gear up. Every time. The protective gear guide turns the rule into an actual setup by speed and riding style.
