Sorry yeah gdoh if you're comfortable with getting cheaper stuff than A* then definitely there are lower prices to be found. Even boots can be found for the $100 or less range. Several local gear retailers (at least Bby Kawasaki, Carter, and Daytona) also give riding school discounts, I think the PRS discount was 15% off?
Edit: Your best bet is still to buy your gear online though. I got my A* SMX-5 for $150, while I've never seen it for less than $225 locally. It sucks as I'd like to support local if I could, but that's quite a difference.
