Great Picture!
I contacted Race Face and they said the small shin plate is 10". It seems like the knee guard and padding are probably the same in all sizes. I might JUST fit the smalls. (I have a 28" inseam). I will probably give the Rockgardn's a go for now. They are actually made for motocross, but the shin guards are shorter, though they are not as form-fitting as the FR.

Hi Wavedancer, I must admit the Small FR2 only just fit my shin lengthwise, the bottom of the padding sits right on top of my shoe (stops them sliding down though), I'm not sure what length my shin is though but I have slightly longer legs than you.
That pink armour looks wild though!

Sandy,
The dainese jackets work very well, a bit pricey, but if you're going to be pushing the envelope it's well worth it.
Hubby dh races and originally had an Azonic jacket, broke his ribs on a race in AZ and went with Dainese after that because of pad placement and overall comfort.
Have fun with it, there's a few videos (dirt divas) that show some women freeriding. If you're ever in CO in the summer, there's a freeride/dh event in Silverton that a few pro women seem to attend. It's great seeing what they can do and aspiring to be able to do some of that.
Enjoy!
