LOL!
It's ok. We all do that.
I would keep wearing the body armor if i were you. You will get used to it.
It will save you from injuries.
Best tip for rocks ever is that there must always be at least one foot on the pegs. Even when you paddle. Rather keep one foot on the pegs, raise your behind off the seat a bit and just dab-dab-dab your other foot on the terrain for balance.
If you are riding a rocky off camber, dab with your foot that is on the uphill side of the camber so that if you miss-dab and fall over, you fall towards the incline, not downwards.
That woks for me.
That is also where in my opinion the GasGas shines. The lower seat height makes it way easier in the hectic stuff.
