    Icon gear

    For those that haven't heard I dumped the Ninja last week in Boulder Canyon....and all I have to say is that Icon gear is the shit no matter what anyone else tells me. Any part on my body covered with it was injury free.....and I didn't land softly.

    Even the parts of your body that weren't protected weren't scarred.

    The crazy part is my gear isn't even damaged, just covered in dirt.

    I witnessed the gear test and must say to his Icon gear. Did its job.

    When you were teaching my MSF class youasked me if I had riding pants and I said no. Your replay was "how do you think it would feel to go down in jeans?"..........lol. I can now answer that question.
