Talking of armour, I normally wear Richa armoured gloves on the bike. The only time I don’t is on the trials bike.
During the ABR, the armoured knuckles deflected some very heavy stones in the roost from in front, and have certainly protected me in those aforementioned bike drops.
Of course, thanks to trials practice, I now have scars exactly where knuckle protection could be. Mainly thanks to punching trees as the bike decides to use my fist to park.
