We just got word from Marco Osborne that has chosen to sit out for the last two EWS rounds of 2018 because of a concussion he suffered after Whistler.
| I haven't missed an EWS start in over two years, so missing these last two rounds really hits hard. I know it's part of the game and that my health comes first. With that said, I'm just looking forward to getting healthy and back into the mountains playing bikes.— Marco Osborne |
While this is obviously a tough decision for Marco to sit out and he will be missed on course, everyone here at Pinkbike would like to offer Marco our support. It is great to see young riders taking the health of their brain so seriously and we hope to see him sending it for many years to come.
I hope it was an easy decision, your health is more important than riding bikes.
Bad luck is a nothing you can avoid. But strength training, practicing skill and looking deep inside your fears and feelings to step up your mind game are the best investments you can make in your health.
What data do you want to present me then? I’m sorry am I thinking too much compared to a regular client? You can stuff them with the yellow sticker as a mean to increase your sales, but quite a few people aren’t buying the story. That is all I am saying.
Because if the sticker makes them sleep better at night, feel more confident on the trail, well that is worth more than crooked science. Same sort that adds DH certficate to proframe yet... why are people using rampage pro? I mean the stickers match don’t they. Those helmets are identical according to the science, why are dh racers opting for rampage pro. Makes no sense what so ever...
I now own a Kali Avatar 2, I find the weight easier on the body which means I can ride for longer
@KaliProtectives have written some interesting articles on the subject too
The 6D *are* a pound heavier than most other brands, and bigger. But I'll take it. I believe that is why Bell came out with their "Flex" helmets in the past year. Midspeed impacts aren't stopped by DOT helmets at all.
