dont go for the m70's, go with the 80's
and a good tip is to get some local bockers to give you a hand when you are having your first few steps

M80's deffo.

Pads.

Make sure you secure yourself in with the kneebar with somethig, doesn't matter what. Or get cuffs, its presonal preference realy.

Have Fun.

Kneebar is the bit at the top of the bock that you leg goes through. They won't come with straps but you can easily make some from webbing or look out for pinhead when he comes back :)

The best way to get "good" Is to practice as much as you can. And m80's are the ones for you.

I had some of zendalfire's knee straps (until something chewed through them GRR) and they did help loads. And the pitdirt knee pads did too  :thumbs:

Here's some webbing I bought of ebay, you'll probably get it cheaper in shop, but if like me and you can be lazy it's the cheapest I found online. 10 metres would be enough strapping for 2/3 people. I've got some really comfy kneepads know that keep the kneebar secure enough so I don't use the strapping anymore but it does help
