Most important piece of protective gear?
So let's hear it! Hypothetically speaking, if you could only jump with one piece of protective gear, what would it be?? This is serious stuff so be honest with your answers!

Before the jump :
Sangi's phone number so you can call him for advice on how to do the jump right.

After the jump :
Laptop with Wi-Fi so you can brag about the jump, and hopefully post the video on Youtube.

He still hasn't suggested a good tire for my bike. Until then, I won't accept his advice.

I voted for flip flops; that way you don't have to get your boots wet when wading across 32 deg. river water at 5:00 in the MF'ing morning just to get to the base of the bridge... =;>

I still can't feel my toes...
