Where is the broadcast schedule for Crankworx??

This looks like a bad idea to me. I’m no testing or safety engineer but I don’t think the crossover from ice hockey is applicable. There’s simply too much jagged stuff on the ground and in the environment that we ride in. How many times have you gotten a stick stuck in your derailleur or jammed in your spokes? Ever done a track walk on a DH course with pro riders? There’s all kinds of loose stones with sharp edges that poke up and some that are really embedded. Experienced riders look for those on track walks and move the loose stuff out of the line. Why? Because the large obstacles are obvious. Small loose stuff can pull you off your line and just as easily poke through a cage type chin bar like this. I’m scared just looking at it. Also I think the polymer chin bars with EPS foam in them absorb impact rather than transfer all of it into the helmet. This is just a bad idea IMHO.
