Clips are good, you just gotta make sure your cleats aren't too tight like this guy's.

cr0553r (May 18, 2011 at 5:55)

shockabahala Plus (Jun 2, 2011 at 10:05)

oh yeah, my bad i didn't see it earlier

sam264 (Jun 2, 2011 at 10:11)

yeah nothing wrong with clips, i've never had a crash (and i've had plenty!) where my feet haven't just automatically come out, if you run them tight like this guy though, this is what happens.

gab-biking (Jun 2, 2011 at 19:32)

His best friend is the leatt brace!

Ziaamm (Jul 7, 2011 at 13:30)

fuck bet he wished he had a neckbrace , heal well

ritchierich (May 17, 2011 at 14:34)

He does have a leatt...

joshwatsits (May 17, 2011 at 14:40)

there is a neck brace . . . that is some compression right there !

sessionman123abc (May 17, 2011 at 22:00)

Did he win?

bet he wishes he didn't have the neck brace.... bye bye shoulders

the-freerider (May 18, 2011 at 16:48)

rather collar bones than neck anytime james....

bisk (May 19, 2011 at 4:11) (Below Threshold) show comment

yeh i know, it was more a pisstake, cos i cant stand the whole neckbrace fashion at the moment, personally i think they do f*ckall good and more bad, but i'm not gonna get into this argument again, its just everytime there is a picture of someone crashing on their head, you can GUARANTEE the first (or one of the first) comment will be, 'should of had a neck brace', or 'bet he's glad he had the neckbrace'. does me head in. But just to reiterate, lets not turn this into a pro/con neckbrace argument Smile

+ 12

the-freerider (May 19, 2011 at 12:40)

i agree but would you agree with collar bones rather than being parralized? or have a spine injury?

+ 10

dmacrostie (May 19, 2011 at 13:14)

@bisk: neck safety is not a fashion statement

the-freerider (May 19, 2011 at 13:22)

we are not getting in to the pros and cons of it so stop now........

dmacrostie (May 19, 2011 at 13:31)

that wasn't a pro or a con but thanks for playing

Must say, the Demo never has a bad photo, very photogenic bike Razz

kona620 (Jun 2, 2011 at 11:54)

just had to point that out eh?

sniperbob02 (Jun 2, 2011 at 18:13)

Im pretty sure he has a neck brace and a leat actually by looking at the padding and how the back is made

kona620 (Jun 2, 2011 at 23:47)

thanks captain obvious

sniperbob02 (Jun 3, 2011 at 5:23)
