The best ones used to be Pit Dirt sold on here but you can't get them any more

Dixon used to do a very similar set but a bit more expensive

There are some good ones on the Ghostbikes site (with the PJ bits)

As for wristguards I allways recommend Flexmeter (Alpsgear do a discount if the post is still up on here)

I dont know a link but I fully recommend knee pads (dirt bike or down hill mountain bike ones are the best that cover the shin too, as it help to keep your leg straight and stops the pad from moving)

a helmet, not many people use one but I always do and I know a lot of professionals do to. You think you will never hit your head but you do. plus it makes you feel a lot safer when going for that new trick. protec or any bmx helmet seems to be best.

Wrist guards. Always good to have when you start and fall a lot. I always have a pair with me for when trying new things but dont always wear them as you cant use your hands with them on. (when you start wear them, after you know how to fall, optional)

Where to get them from I think 'Jason' has covered it.

if you click on this link

http://www.acroair.co.uk/index1.html

And then click the alps gear logo , you can receive a 10% discount by adding the code   AA10 at checkout , :Cbiggrin:

these are the wrist guards i use and know a lot of bockers who do.

I also use the helmets from here for ice shows, but a pro tec one for other times.

My jazz, I have ordered some better quality pads since.

I was sneaking and peeping and scoping the scene, you know copping a major 'tude,
when I cut loose this bunch of dweebs, boy time to teach them some rude! Eh, dog that is...

Knee / Shin pads are highly recommended, the wulf hinged pads we do work well with the calf cuffs but not so much with the knee bars see http://www.ghostbikes.com/products/1237-wulf-hinged-motocross-kneepads.html
