Pads N Bits

Helmets a must, one smack to the head and you could be dead.

Shin pads however are just there to protect bone, i've never 'shinned' myslef in 2 years of riding, so i don't see the point. And even if i do shin myself, theres no serious damage.

I feel restricted if I wear anything like that, just dont like them....Even a helmet I dont often wear one of them either.... Suppose I should, depends how Im riding. If I aint id for a while a dont bother as I aint gona hurt myself because I aint gona push, but as I get back into it I feel I have to wear a lid as the danger increases

You can fall off your bike doing a 1 ft gap and smack your head on the floor. And die. Can happen, and probably has happend.

I agree, but if Im riding site at the time, I just think wearing a helmet attracts attention even more....I just dont feel right wearing one.. BUT I do think it looks way better wearing it especially on vids. Looks more professional..If I go out for 20 mins on the bike, usually I dont wear it, but if the cams out I do.. Strange I know.

My dad always says wear it unless you will end up in a wheelchair/brain damaged or whatever, cant do trials in a wheelchair. Maybe I will just wear it all the time...... :turned:

Nicly said jonny!

my mate fell off on a wall not even 1 foot high, cause his brake slipped when on the back wheel on it, he slipped backwards and smashed the back of his head on the corner of the wall, knocking him out and blood was everywhere (about 1 meter around him) doctor said, because he was wearing a helmet, hes cheated death, if he wasnt wearing one, he would be dead on colision!
