I used to think body armor was for park rats and professional freeriders. I wouldn't be caught in the stuff anywhere outside of a lift-accessed resort. Sporting pads on a trail ride? It was, to my way of thinking, a bit like slapping a "Tap Out" mixed martial arts bumper sticker on your pick up or, getting "No Fear" tattooed on your neck or riding a unicycle in public--all just desperate cries for attention.
