Congrats to all the beaten and bruised knees out there! Having looked through dozens of cut up legs for our winners, all I can say is that your poor knees need to be better taken care of folks!

Thanks for all the submissions, winners inside,

*Caution! Graphic Content Inside!
*In no particular order, here are your winning (or losing - depends how you look at it) knees!

 That's a shin, not a knee. These pads wouldn't have stopped that.

 uk infantry troops in afghanistan have bought the 661 pads to wear out there whilst fighting terry taliban cos there knees where getting cut just like this.

maybe mr fox should send a load out to the boys and get these pads put through there paces.

"forward as one"

 lets see if we can get a load of votes on here and get pink bike to do a campaign to see how many companys that make knee pads ie 661 fox race face etc are willing to ship our boys some pads

 knee pads will not do anything for these guys in the pics because they don't cover ya shins!

 All the winners are in fact knee impacts - folks were submitting shin hits too, but the pads are knees with a little upper shin protection. Either way they are all stoked on their new pads!

 Pads are a lifesaver however, not the little candies! Their just sweet like the pads on the market!
