I am with the rest of the lads too. I don't think you can spend enough on safety equipment. I use a Troy Lee D2 it cost £190 but its has saved me on a good couple of times. Like Matty said though go for a 661 like his MX protection for half the price of Tro Lee. _________________ Practise makes compound fractures before it makes perfect!!!!

Does that mean if you come off and scrape your knee you still have to replace your helmet? _________________
