Need to protect the ankle, sometimes when you put your foot down the terrain is not always level and free of dirt or debris so twisting the ankle could be a possibility also if you disembark before coming to a full stop ankle need to be supported if you don't want your feet to end up pointing backwards.

As for helmets check out the following post.

Does that stuff seem like it would save me in a moderate crash? Money really isnt an issue, but I donit see a reason spending 3x more for flashier gear that wont protect me any better.. I was looking to spend about ~1000 on gear, so if you could suggest something maybe a little better in that range?
