  1. I just got a K2 and am going to ride the hell out of it this summer. i have never wore clip shoes on a mountain bike. I know that it would be great for single track, but i also want to do some jumping. I'm asking if you go to big would you hurt your ankles on the landing?
    Any experience or info would be awsome, Thanx.

    I don't do jumping but I would probably advise against clips for jumping. The main reason being that with flats you can easily bail out if it goes wrong whereas with clips you and the bike are one so its not quite so easy.
