Best thing: velcro - keeps my cashel sun visor on my helmet, (should
have just bought a bike one with velcro attachment), made a wool
fleece cover for my gel pad, wouldn't buy splint boots w/o
velcro straps.
Best tip: freeze containers of really salty water for extra cooler of ice.
(colder freezing point - keeps regular ice frozen longer
Worst tip: freeze containers of salty water instead of using ice for the
cooler (froze everything in the cooler)
Worst: SM jumping/open front splint boots - gap horribly, twist, outside
attracts grass seeds and stickers.
