Just keep working on your jumping and trials stuff on your 24, you have
more to carry around, so it will take a while to get used to jumping
like you do on your 20 inch. I am like you, I always see lines when I
am riding, and I always go and and do them as I see them, so I always
wear 661 ankle biters, and 661 Knee\shin guards, they havent saved me
from any impacts from falling off, but they have saved me many times
from my cranks, pedal, the pins on my pedals, roots, small rocks and
tons of other stuff. So if your not wearing any pads, I suggest too,
other than that, just gotta get used to having a 24 instead of a 20.

yeah i am wearing some shin pads... they are Lizard Skinz shin
pads...but taking this huge hit to the knee has me seriously
considering some 661 shin/knee combo...

How are the 661's? Do they get in the way? i just don't want them to
be super uncomfortable...

Ive had mine for a few months now, and the only problem is when my legs
get really sweaty, but they are roomy, and fit fine, never got in the
way on any of the rides ive done. They are extremely worth it.

Me too. They're a lot less hot and they allow for better
manouverability!

To the optimist, the glass is half full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
To the IT guy, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

if your worried about really hard hits to your knees, and not so worried
about pedal bite to your calves, which can be painfull and annoying, i
would go for somthing more aimed at knee protection. I haven't tried
these, but the Riccochet shinguards at sixsixone.com seem like they
would be great for hard knee impacts.. just my 2 cents

Without FULL protection while riding serious, rocky muni, you're taking
your LIFE in your hands! All it takes is one very bad falland you could
really get seriously hurt. Helmet, shin/knee, elbow/wrist, ankle
braces, gloves-all are essential for maximum protection. The best
riders fall, and fall hard, so it's not if but when your next upd
happens, so be smart and pad up!
