    alright, this weekend earned my first nasty shin gouge. The
    four long verticle scabs on my left shin are telling me it's
    time to get that leg armor i've been regretfully doing
    without for too long.

    It's been a while since ive seen any info regrading the
    availability and quality of shin guards from roach. I know
    the company went through some changes after bineg aquired by
    race face, i think it was race face anyway...

    Just wondering what the best way to go with armor is
    these days...

    If anyone could give me some reccomendations on a good pair
    of shin guards... I'm looking for good front protection and
    decent rear coverage. I'd prefer the pads to not cover my
    knees, but i could probably deal with that. the olwer they
    go on the ankle the better as long as they wont interfere
    with a low-top bmx/skateboard style shoe. Price is not of
    much concern.

    I was previously looking at a pair of dianese guard that
    looked really nice but i was told that they slide around
    quite a bit...

    Thanks ahead of time for any thoughts.

    I would call roach and get some shins made up for you. I
    know they used to offer them.

    Another option is the new Kris Holm armor, it goes up the
    knee but is more improvements on old roach than new race
    face roach.

    If you can get some of the first batch I believe these were
    all hand made in Canada by the people who used to handel
    roach out of better materials that wont be avalible when
    they are made overseas.

    Email Darren Bedford for some Kris Holm armour. That is were
    I got mine. They are better and more comfy than the Roach.
