I truly believe the brick and mortar joints are the backbone of this sport. Can you physically try a set of gear,check out the a pair of goggles, boots and knee braces to see how the fit or feel. I don't think you can buy a bike online, heck in most cases they have same day delivery on parts all you do is go in and pay for them. This is why I support my local shop.
