Lets see your armor!

Today was my last day at the local hill and I planned on going big, so I wore full armor.

Good thing to, the chest guard had a nice cut in it from my stem and the arm guards look kinda beat. I also landed pretty hard on my wrist and heard a crack, it hurt but I could still move it so I kept riding. Now it's swollen and sore, if it bugs me tommorow at school I _might_ go get it x-rayed.

Soon to be added to the lot are goggles, haven't gotten round to buying them (hell, I don't even have any money right now so I'll have to leave it for later. :p) Sometime in the future I'll buy a pressure suit but for now what is on the picture will have to do.

Man, you guys both have the same avatar and are confusing me. Anyways.

I use Fox Launch Shin Pads, Giro Remedy Full Face, And Mace Gloves, in the process of getting body armor for DH use.
