The big thing that pisses me off is that people are fine to call me an idiot for choosing not to wear armor yet they act like I have summoned Satan if I dare call "last run".
Double standards FTW!
I have seen a guy stuck on a tree branch because of his armor, it took a second person to help rip the branch out of his armour. I really think a good skills course would be more beneficial to some newer riders than 3kg of armour, speed and a lack of coordination never ends well no matter how much armor you have.
I know I come across as negative but I would never tell someone they are a pussy for wearing armour, I know it reduces injuries and people have houses to pay off so it really is the smart option, but I still like riding without it.
