Sport Hurts...

Cheers Jon, that's what I was hoping for. I'm not that competitive so will probably just be happy with improving technique and speed for myself very gradually once I (hopefully) start.

I have put a couple of feelers out on bmxtalk (thanks jaymz for the heads up) for a complete bike, and I'm watching a good full face helmet on the bay.

what else is wise (mask, gloves, knee & elbow pads, or full on body armour)?

No need for a facemask if you'll have a fullface helmet. I find elbow pads of some sort invaluable as I always land on my forearms, gloves, and kneepads if I'm not wearing long trousers. I always wear some shin protection (mainly cos my right shin is already a mess). Body armour can be useful - no one knows exactly how you're going to fall ???

southern andy:
Keith, i've got elbow pads and body armour for pennies if you want it mate ????

Can't remember what they are but they do have a decent name on them, 661 i think.


It's one of the reasons i gave up racing, 9 busted bones in 18months wasn't good. Plus i've a permanently dislocated collarbone and shoulder problems now from an off at Andover practising.

I'll stick to restoring.  :LolLolLolLol:

KeithyT:
Cheers Andy, would defo be interested. After all of you guys tales there's no way I am not getting full PPE  :shocked:. I like my bones and blood where it is  ;D squeaky bum time is beckoning...
