I can't believe this is what my first post is going to be about but I really need some input here...
Tomorrow morning we are taking our boys (almost 11 and almost 7) to a dirt kiddie track for the first time. We live on an acre of land that is all back yard so until now, they've been riding a good size "track" in the yard. The kids have all the gear EXCEPT, chest protectors (which they're getting for their b-day's in about a month)
The oldest rides an ATV and the youngest is on a Yamaha PW50. My wife is insisting they wear their Taekwondo sparring chest gear under their shirts and I think it is going to restrict their movement too much. They kind of look like this, but ours are straight across the bottom -- http://www.taekwondosupplies.org/shop-products/reversible-chest-protector/
So the argument is - which is more "unsafe", riding on the kiddie track without the chest protector, or riding with it?
