    Shin pads

    I used to wear 661 Veggie shin guards, they provided good protection (and prevented some serious damage) but can get quite hot. I imagine the 661 AM Comp shin guards would be similar. Otherwise O'Neal, TSG, etc have similar styles. G-Form are good too. I use Jitsie (available from...

    A snippet of Stromlo

    Cheers man. I've found that the chest mount is ok, but all you end up seeing is distorted arms and not enough of the trail ahead. When watching chest mount footage, I find that I'm always looking at the top of the screen, trying to "see" more trail (but obviously can't!). Helmet cam is alright...

    A snippet of Stromlo

    I know :( I wasn't thinking at the time and it kinda caught me off guard. Hence almost going off the track at the end of the corner, haha
