I think the lesson here is to make sure your head tube is slacker than your seat tube.

Kali’s New Kru Full Face Helmet Has a Titanium Chin Bar, & It Looks... Different
Those buckles they use on the chin strap are weak as shit, don’t worry. If it had double D rings, this might be a concern in a super unlikely scenario, but that clip buckle is snapping way before your neck is.

Pinkbike Poll: Do You Suffer From Arm Pump When Mountain Biking?
It builds up as the day goes on though, and even over multiple days if you’ve got it bad.

Pinkbike Poll: Do You Suffer From Arm Pump When Mountain Biking?
Glad I saw this comment, because all arm pump is actually compartment syndrome.
Our muscles are surrounded by fascia, which is inflexible. When your muscles are working in weird ways, like hanging on to bucking bikes while squeezing levers, they’ll swell up and press against the fascia, which is what we feel as arm pump.
Really severe compartment syndrome can be dangerous, people have lost limbs over it. And the procedure you mention is a fasciotomy, a shocking number of MotoGP riders have it done to fix compartment syndrome once and for all. It’s not cutting into the muscle, but rather the fascia, to give the muscles more room to swell.
But for us non-Marc Marquezes, what you mentioned is what fixed my arm pump, along with Ergon GE1s. Massage and STRETCHING, before, during, and after riding. Went from tapping out of bike parks 2 or 3 hours in, to riding all day, for a week straight.

Two Vermont Builders Handed $35,000 Fine for Unauthorized State Forest Trails
Cutting down 300+ trees, unauthourized, in a state forest, is certainly a choice. Honestly a $35k fine sounds like getting off easy.
