Nerf bars make all the differance, if you foot comes off that peg and you don't have any nerf bars... your legs going to end up in your back tires and i'd say thats not going to feel to good... may even pull you off in there to..

 

Redneck is right. You should always stand if you are goin to jump, or go over tough stuff, u have much more control over it in the air. I have a warrior that the heel guards are missing, it botherd me at first but now i don't even notice that there gone any more, and tbh I like that there not there, it gives more room to move if I'm leaning to far
