When I first got back into mtb late last year I rode shin guards at Tourne because I remembered a fall I had on rocks 8 years ago. Now, I don't even think of shin guards for riding there.
As your skills increase, you'll go one of three ways:
A) Your confident enough to ride without them
B) Your confident enough to ride without them, but can't afford to be out of commission for that once-in-a-year crash that wouldn't have been so bad if you had just worn them

I will go with choices B and C. Can't miss work! and, looking for an adrenaline rush!
Thanks all for the support! If you are at LM and see a 30-year-old rider in shiny knight's armor, say hello to me.
