Its good to see Racheal wearing a Leatt, atleast she learned something from what happened to Dan, now lets see Gee and the rest of the competitors get on one.
Until you come to the realization that Leatt braces aren't the end all solution to neck injuries. It sure may look fancy, but it was never designed with DH helmets in mind so sure it may stop you from crushing your spine, but that helmet's gonna be mighty useful when it get's smashed to bits from both ends.
I never said it was the end all to neck injuries, but it decreases your chances of serious neck injury's ten fold, theyre will always be that hit that's too hard for anything to help. As for the helmets im not sure what your getting at.
I'm talking about the difference between using a MX helmet and a DH with a neck brace. Remember it was first thought out with a DOT approved helmet in mind which is much more rigid than your regular DH helmet. You can't guarantee that by using the Leatt brace or any other model for that fact that under impact it won't damage a softer shelled DH helmet in a negative way during a crash.
m47h13u....I'd say that the majority of people where a TLD, but some do where MX helmets. Either way Leatt makes a brace for BOTH! Oh and I love when you said, "sure it may stop you from crushing your spine, but that helmet's gonna be mighty useful when it get's smashed to bits from both ends." So basically you're saying the Leatt brace will keep your spine from crushing (which I'm pretty sure is a good thing) and in the process will break to bits doing it's job. I love when people bitch just to bitch.
hey im not looking for neg props. I just want some feeback on my bike. http://pjrmtb31.pinkbike.com/album/2009-Glory-DH/ Could you take a look at it and let me know what you think would make it look better or perform better while still on a budget.
