I used it mainly to try and protect my collar bones. I'd broken one playing rugby and the other one when I went OTB while practising up Ayton Quarry. Didn't want to re-brake them and it did the job well.

That is a great piece of safety equipment.

In super clean fettle as well - can't believe they lasted so well in the shed.

I'm a big believer in safety equipment. I help dig jumps at Great Ayton Quarry, the majority of youngsters who come to ride wear no safety gear, there's no way I'd let a child of mine ride without helmet, gloves and pads. I hate to see them leave their skin on the floor but what can you do?

Thanks, I've certainly enjoyed looking at the pictures on your thread Dennis  so I'm very happy that you like my photos. The rest of my Pro racing pictures are on this thread

Hello Mrs.Ratty,

I thought it looked ok and it was mostly very comfortable to wear, I used to completely forget about it. Occasionally your chest would get a painfull little nip between the arm piece and the breast plate but apart from that it was great. You could have a major smash and get up laughing 

Yea the irrepressible Flemdog was one of one the main protagonists BITD. I was a bit surprised to find he's still racing but I'm not at all surprised that he's still kicking butt out there  One of my mates from half a lifetime ago and someone I really enjoyed racing against, a living legend of British BMX

It's not in bad condition, I was thinking of getting the VIM out but then every scrape and blemish tells a story so I think I'll leave it as is. Could be a grain of Redcar track embedded in there somewhere. My dads shed is something special, who knows what other treasures might be lurking there.

Cheers,

I would have been an NBMXA National No1 and British Champion if I hadn't been shot down by the Shooter 

Had to make do with second but hey the best man won so I aint complaining, and  Geth was the very best BITD IMO.
