MX or MTB helmet?
I've heard people use mx helmets for DH. But I've also heard that DH helmets are better and safer. Which should i buy? MTB or MX helmet?
Also, for shin guards, I'm not at the point of flying 30-40 mph so can I just use some good soccer shin guards? I know that sounds kinda weird (maybe) but I was just looking for some money saving ways.

Helmets: just so we don't repeat ourselves, refer to this thread over in the Racing subforum:

To answer your other question: yes, soccer shin guards will work. They do nothing for your knees; but for just shin protection, if you already have some, yeah, use 'em.
