I have the pro jump body armour and would definatly reccomend (sp?) it, I like the way its called Bionic armour too, it makes me sound like Super Hero. It makes me look like a Ninja Turtle too. :P
-
:D ^^

I was wearing a cheap set of knee pads and wrist guards for £5 they may have been cheap but their better than nothing but it never hurts to go over the top with pads .... Get it NEVER HURTS, OVER THE TOP !? :D

I dont get it..... ???

*Digs up an old thread*
I wear - cheap wrist guards (lost the projump ones)
ProJump elbow/arm guards
Diamondback Freestyle helmet
SixSixOne knee/shin pads (they also prevent a bit of hyperextension)
I also wear some skater type trainers, with their flat soles, they sit better on the plate, i find.
Wear these with army camo gear, and I look like a weekend warrior gone mad, especially with the military Camelback on!
-
I first got shown a set of pro-jump kneepad/shin pads and now i cant bounce without them.. they make it so much more comfortable and improved my bocking ten fold
-
Recently bought the pro-jump kneepad/shin pads, probably same as Kiola's :)
Dead good fit and much better now when strapped in properly.
Just need them to magically make as good a Kiola (not gonna happen real soon :( ).
GB...
-
Just a tip for fitting these on that Kiola and others that use the Pit Dirt Knee / Shin pads regularly do and swear by hehe
Instead of fitting the straps of the knee pads on the legs they actually wrap them over the frame. See the picture below of how Kiola straps his to get an idea of what I mean!

I'm BMX-ing less, so may as well use them on my PJ's
-
Boo ya.... ;D
-
Now I am thinking of starting to do tricks I am gonna upgrade my armour and I can't decide which to go for which do you lot think is better ;D
-
I think the stormtrooper offers the most protection, but boba fett gives a bit more flexibility, plus, fett is the cooler one.
-
i think the one with the jet pack that way you dont have to bock you can just fly :D
-
Well to me the top one looks like it will give you more protection...
But just ask them if they can add double protection for you just in case, well we talking about you Jason :D

personally i think the above will be the best for those warm days where you need a bit of air to circulate.

youve all seen my pictures but if you havent this is the armour i wear...
(http://www.mikeantonucci.com/uploaded_images/robocop-792844.bmp)
lol's
no seriously for one moment, most of what i wear i got after a mtb crash (into a parked car, thank you i know)which i broke a rib in..
body armour by brand x
(http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Images/Models/Full/7088.jpg)
same thing pj sell, with the spine protector, but pj do it £30 cheaper.
knee/shinpads by evs (motorcross)
(http://i3.ebayimg.com/01/i/05/b3/6b/9f_2.JPG)
from ebay but again the pj ones look just as good and are cheaper.
im using pj wrist guards and a generic full face mtb helmet which is up to motorcross saftey standards.
im sure as i get more confident or c*cky a lot of it, MOSTLY the helmet and armour, will come off.
i feel more comfy with the knee pads on, and i seen Jasons fubar'ed wrist.
-
How long should the Adult Pit-dirt knee-pads be? (in cm's or inches)
Compared to the children's pads.
Mine just came in the post but they seem a bit short as they don't cover all of my shin.
Have I received the wrong ones, or do they just seem short because I'm used to the
length of riot gear?
-
They don't cover my shins fully, and i don't think they would cover many peopls fully....They are knee pads ;)
-
i dont have any at all i do need some tho :biggrin:
-
They are knee pads ;)
Knee + shin pads according to the product description. ;)
But good to know. :) Thanks very much. :)
