I'm an advocate of pro-choice. Wear what makes you feel comfortable but don't impose your views on my riding. Motocross has less restrictions then what a lot of you are implying should be applied to DH... How does that make any sense? Not to mention this sport is expensive enough - of course companies are going to push for mandatory equipment because guess what - they get paid even more. Honestly - any style of biking is dangerous and DH is very extreme so, again, wear what makes YOU feel comfortable but don't impose outrageous restrictions on OTHER riders. They can make the choice to wear any protection they want and you can bet every rider going down a DH course knows the impending danger they're facing. IT'S AN EXTREME SPORT - GET OVER IT The fault lies on the parents for not forcing their CHILD to wear adequate protection after signing a waiver that nullifies the course of any repercussions/responsibility if their CHILD crashes and DIES or is seriously injured... If you don't want your kid getting hurt don't sign the f*cking waiver..
