I have the pro jump body armour and would definatly reccomend (sp?) it, I like the way its called Bionic armour too, it makes me sound like Super Hero. It makes me look like a Ninja Turtle too.

I was wearing a cheap set of knee pads and wrist guards for £5 they may have been cheap but their better than nothing but it never hurts to go over the top with pads .... Get it NEVER HURTS, OVER THE TOP !?

*Digs up an old thread*

I wear - cheap wrist guards (lost the projump ones)
ProJump elbow/arm guards
Diamondback Freestyle helmet
SixSixOne knee/shin pads (they also prevent a bit of hyperextension)

I also wear some skater type trainers, with their flat soles, they sit better on the plate, i find.

Wear these with army camo gear, and I look like a weekend warrior gone mad, especially with the military Camelback on!

I first got shown a set of pro-jump kneepad/shin pads and now i cant bounce without them.. they make it so much more comfortable and improved my bocking ten fold

gillybert · « **Reply #11 on:** November 08, 2007, 04:05:55 PM »

Recently bought the pro-jump kneepad/shin pads, probably same as Kiola's

Dead good fit and much better now when strapped in properly.

Just need them to magically make as good a Kiola (not gonna happen real soon

).

Just a tip for fitting these on that Kiola and others that use the Pit Dirt Knee / Shin pads regularly do and swear by hehe

Instead of fitting the straps of the knee pads on the legs they actually wrap them over the frame. See the picture below of how Kiola straps his to get an idea of what I mean!

I'm on a set of these.

I'm BMX-ing less, so may as well use them on my PJ's

Now I am thinking of starting to do tricks I am gonna upgrade my armour and I can't decide which to go for which do you lot think is better

araya213 · « **Reply #16 on:** November 08, 2007, 10:00:27 PM »

I think the stormtrooper offers the most protection, but boba fett gives a bit more flexibility, plus, fett is the cooler one.

adzi · « **Reply #17 on:** November 08, 2007, 10:01:18 PM »

i think the one with the jet pack that way you dont have to bock you can just fly

webmaster · « **Reply #18 on:** November 08, 2007, 10:06:57 PM »

Well to me the top one looks like it will give you more protection...

But just ask them if they can add double protection for you just in case, well we talking about you Jason

Paul-Self · « **Reply #19 on:** November 08, 2007, 10:36:47 PM »

personally i think the above will be the best for those warm days where you need a bit of air to circulate.

Jason · « **Reply #20 on:** November 08, 2007, 10:59:05 PM »
