Yep, it makes sense to me, as i said in an earlier thread, if your spanking it, wear ff. It will help for the most part if you stack it face side down…i would and it's not something i've done much of at all tbh, but when kitted to the max you go faster, that does'nt require any further logic really…so far, i could count one crash for sure that would have been far less painfull if i'd had body armour on for a start.
But then i will go mental around swinley and who knows, shorts, t shirt and hex might not be enough one day……you take the risk, you pay the price if said risk turns out to be sour….blah blah blah…I think, ultimately, that in the alps, knowing what i'm like, next time, for the more serious days…ff without question.
