protection, not just condoms anymore!

ok up and at emm people

squid here and im going to talk about "Body Armor"

now this is a new thing for me, this spring i got a new bike, the p2, which is a free ride hard tail mountain bike
i also got a tattoo of a squid on my left shin a while back
sooooo knowing that when i crash the bike that i usually tare up some skin in many places, and the shins are usually the frist to go.

so i got a great idea of getting some mountain biking body armor

WHAT A GOOD BUY!!!!

im a big fan of SIXSIXONE brand aromor, and now im looking to getting more, well difffernt pieces, right now i have the 4x4 knee and shin and the 4x2 elbow and fore arm (which i dont use a lot) i plan on getting a flack jacket some time soon (chest plate, sholder cups, spine guard and kidney belt)

pads (body armor) is a good investment if you are riding downhill or free ride or doing stupid shit while trying urban stuff

pro's
1 you feel that you can do anything and push your self more
2 you leave less skinn when you crah
3 you now ride more of what you want, and less of looking for other shit
4 you look like a bad ass

con's
1 you over heat going long distances (no more xc riding)
2 its more stuff to bring with you
3 it costs some money
4 now nonriders are more terified that you are going to hurt your self

but other than that, if you want to go the extra distance i sujest in getting some armor..... dont worry grunt i think you have some waiting for you when you get home, we goin free riden in the snow!

squid outtttttt
