			Glove: 
invest in some sliders.  250 bucks risk... it would save your 1000 dollars on a drop or a 250 replacement on sliders.. think about it.

The quality of the hardware may not be as durable as the leading competitors. The puck's ability to resist abrasion as well and the quality and strenght of the mounting hardware comes into question.   
Maybe conduct a little more research on certain ebay brands before purchasing 
I know hotbodies/woodcraft frame sliders start at around $70

			it wasnt that hard but i was just nervous and fucked up a few times but the instructor i had was super chill. as long as you remember your training you will do fine     
i havnt rode a bike in over a month and i passed so im pretty sure you will pass with ease

			jkw: the other two have already signed up on their own unfortunately, so it might be a while sorry.   
For the future, for anyone planning to commit, please PM me directly as stated in the original post. Otherwise I can't guarantee that I will see your post.

Mine's on Tuesday at 10:00am; nervous as heck. Like you, I haven't been on a bike since the course (July 9th). Did you do the mock road assessment? And, who was your super chill examiner? I hope I get him/her as my examiner too      Quote:

I remember Vanessa (past receptionist) telling me this in 2010.
