A lot of guys have always asked this question and the real answer is always the same. YES......and a helmet. Of those that choose not to most of them don't really want to hear your opinion if it is not what they want to hear. Please guys wear the basics. After a short time you get use to it and it becomes like putting oil in your 2 stroke fuel, you wont want to ride without it.
OUCH!!!

Here is a link to a thread of mx bike guys chating about this at vital mx.

There is also some photos in that thread of some wicked boot on damage but imagine how much worse it can get by looking at the first photos. Man this is some nasty stuff.
