How many people are actually mountain biking for the love of the sport and how many are there because they think its cool and want to be trendy and set trends?????????
Is it possible to do both?
No? Well in that case as everybody who has met me can testify I am definitely a trend setter.
I sometimes fill the goggles with murky sea water.
Gotta give you mere mortals a chance to catch me hey.....

I've been known to do this occasionally on big mountain descents due to the streaming eye thing. I use regular riding glasses for 99.9% of my normal riding though.
Yes goggles look lame, but so do glasses. Id rather squint with one eye and close the other than wear glasses.
Do you make a pirate noise while you do that closing one eye squinting with the other thing?

If you look like Joe Barnes, you'll go like Joe Barnes, surely?
I'd fancy an Urge Real Jet, modt certainly with goggles, if it wasnt for the price
Who cares about who wear's what! silly shallow judgemental fools trying to make an inadequate life feel better somehow. I say get over yourself, ride your bike and stop whining.
Racers are paid and contractually bound to look a certain way and dumn asses copy them.
I don't do it for style, I realise its an interesting combo. But I love the isolated feel of using them in a full-face for DH and when I'm doing an XC ride I can stick them in the bag and use them on descents that are either very windy or very muddy. When you're going as fast as you damn well can on top of an exposed windy hill its nice to concentrate fully on the trail.
Don't have glasses and don't really like the idea of glasses so goggles it is.
