  1. I'm considering buying a 20" summit to replace my current 24" sun which
    isnt bad for a beginner. But recently whenever I fall off the pedals hit
    my shins really hard and i want to get 4X4's. Is there a way to avoid
    hitting my shins a lot?(besides just being more careful) Should I just
    tough out the wounds until i can get a summit? (this summer) Or should i
    delay the summit and get 4X4's. Thanks.[image: A:\MVC-012F.JPG]

    Bicycle is just a short way of saying unicycle with a training wheel.

  2. I think this is the normal progression:
    (1) beginner- many small injuries, wear armor
    (2) sport- few injuries, dont need armor
    (3) expert- some medium injuries, wear armor
    (4) pro- possible big injuries, wear armor

    So as you learn, you will fall a lot and will make some
    scars that'll last a long time if you dont wear armor. Then,
    once you learn how to ride and get smoother, you wont fall
    much and you still wont be doing that big of stuff so you
    can get away without wearing armor. But then, as you start
    doing bigger hops, bigger gaps, more technical freestyle
    tricks, you will start hitting your shins again. Then as you
    get really good, since you will be doing very difficult and
    risky lines or tricks, you risk major injury despite being
    less likely to fall. you will wear armor just in case.

    Get some 4x4s. you can get them for 20 USD as
    jensonusa.com or something like that, i dont remember. you
    will probably wear them for a while, put them down for a
    while, then pick them back up in a year or so, depending
    on how fast you progress.
