i use rc3 - it attaches to roost protector. rc1 does not need to be attached. the rc3 is not as obtrusive as the rc1. if you get an rc3 and don't connect it to something, it will probably float around. i'm so used to the rc3 i instantly forget that's it there - some complain about loss of range of motion with the rc3 - but it's never been an issue with me. all the rc's and leatt style braces will limit some motion (or else they wouldn't work....)

loose rock is everywhere here. the knee guards are crucial here. last week a dude busted his kneecap, i couldn't believe he didn't have kneeguards on. here's it's as necessary as a helmet. everytime i hear a rock hit my guards, i realize what a good investment they are. know if i could just get a pair of elbow guards that didn't contibute to arm pump...
