It was lost in the wilderness (my Dads shed) for fifteen years but I've found it, my JT Body Armour :smitten:

I used it mainly to try and protect my collar bones. I'd broken one playing rugby and the other one when I went OTB while practising up Ayton Quarry. Didn't want to re-brake them and it did the job well.

That is a great piece of safety equipment.
Those are some great pictures too!

Cool find, they did make peeps look like stormtroopers tho :LolLolLolLol:
Great pics, some of u in front of Flemdog too :daumenhoch:

In super clean fettle as well - can't believe they lasted so well in the shed.

I'm a big believer in safety equipment. I help dig jumps at Great Ayton Quarry, the majority of youngsters who come to ride wear no safety gear, there's no way I'd let a child of mine ride without helmet, gloves and pads. I hate to see them leave their skin on the floor but what can you do?

Thanks, I've certainly enjoyed looking at the pictures on your thread Dennis :4_17_5: so I'm very happy that you like my photos. The rest of my Pro racing pictures are on this thread :)

Hello Mrs.Ratty,
I thought it looked ok and it was mostly very comfortable to wear, I used to completely forget about it. Occasionally your chest would get a painfull little nip between the arm piece and the breast plate but apart from that it was great. You could have a major smash and get up laughing :4_17_5:
Yea the irrepressible Flemdog was one of one the main protagonists BITD. I was a bit surprised to find he's still racing but I'm not at all surprised that he's still kicking butt out there :daumenhoch: One of my mates from half a lifetime ago and someone I really enjoyed racing against, a living legend of British BMX :Great_Britain:

It's not in bad condition, I was thinking of getting the VIM out but then every scrape and blemish tells a story so I think I'll leave it as is. Could be a grain of Redcar track embedded in there somewhere. My dads shed is something special, who knows what other treasures might be lurking there.

Cheers,
I would have been an NBMXA National No1 and British Champion if I hadn't been shot down by the Shooter :tickedoff:
Had to make do with second but hey the best man won so I aint complaining, and Geth was the very best BITD IMO.
