Hi ya Two bob. I didn't realise that and will deffo take that on board. Think it was more of a confidence thing to bulk up as much as possible but yeah you're right, take ideas off the high impact sports. Nice one :daumenhoch:

Stones thrown at me, swearing, kicking my bike as I go by, I'm getting my dad onto them!  :'(

As has been posted before, get yourself the Brand-X, it's only £60 and it does as good a job as the 661 or Azonic which cost £100.

Ahh, thanks big guy. ;D

Cushty, cheers Meddle...

TwoBobRob:
Chaps, one thing I should say before I get embroiled any deeper and get myself into trouble.....

Wear whatever you want. At the end of the day its just gotta make you feel better on the bike. We can't wrap ourselves in cotton wool, nor should we. its a mans sport and it always has been. We have to take the slams to progress and what we do to deal with that is our own business. MX armour and full pads for some, leopardskin thong and nowt else for others, its all cool. (kind of...)
