i was on a 12miler yesterday, fast singletrack and there was alot of mud and grit on the trails, you could hear the stones pinging against the frame as i rode (doing between 16 and 25MPH). All of a sudden, a stone flicked up and hit me in the eye - i had my oakleys on, but it really did knock my head back how hard it flew up and its left the lense slightly scratched...

i wouldnt like to think how much it would have hurt if it had hit me directly in the eye...

kids, always wear protection when off roading...  :!:

I usually wear M frames with a rose tint :P :lol: to keep the wind and the flies out, but not specifically stones.

Ill just wear some cheap sunglasses, to keep the flies out of my eyes on hot days more than anything else.
