Hi all i have got hold of a couple of used Osets for my kids and they are loving it ! No fear and plenty of confidence LOL. I slightly more worried. I had them at the trials club today on a training day and they did well but couple of falls on rocks bashed knees/elbows led to tears then  couple of minutes later back up and off again. They fine but i now thinking do they need knee/elbow protectors? Obviously they have helmets/boots/gloves. How do knee protectors work with boots? I knew to trials myself so maybe i just over worried ? Any advice from other parents would be great i don't want them to be wrapped up in cotton wool just want to be sure i doing right by them. Many thanks for any thoughts Matt

Theres some very good elbow and knee pads for mountain biking, good protection, light, breathable and comfortable, pretty much perfect for trials. Have a look on here http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/body-armour?f=2258 

I would get them well wrapped up.  My kids have had a number of broken bones and stitches (nothing to do with trials or motorcycles). There is the pain and time off school, the time and inconvenience to the parents and the cost to the NHS, Definitely a case of prevention is better than cure IMHO.

I would also suggest kids bicycle or skate type pads for kids, worked great for my daughter when she was was younger and doing the trials motorcycle.  

I recently bought Answer 'pee wee' knee pads for my daughter and they seem ideal. The lower part tucks inside the boots. Lightweight and comfortable.

Thanks for the advice everyone i going to order some Answer pads as recommended by roester thanks 

 

My girls and a few others in our club wear evoc padded vests.

Great protection. Got them from freestyle extreme
