New Guy

Hey..New guy here. I ride motocross/arenacross in Texas. Most likely should not do the Arenacross being that I turn 40 this year but it sure is fun.

I live in San Antonio, TX. Ride all over mostly Centrasl Texas. Just love the sport.

Not sure what kinda debate there has been going on here, but I have been coming under a little pressure from other people. I want a Leatt Brace(even though I can't find one) and a lot of naysayers are getting nasty about it. What do you guys think??

Also, if you know where I can get a medium club please fill me in !!

Hey...welcome to RDF. This site simply rocks.

As for the Leatt, I've seen some recent debate as to whether or not the Leatt brace lends to more injuries, such as broken collarbones. Also seen some questions as to whether or not they'll prevent spinal injuries as some were claiming that most spinal injuries are a result of burst fractures rather than extreme movement, forward to back, side to side, etc...

As for me, I just received my Leatt brace yesterday and plan to ride with it this weekend. My justification is that I can break a collarbone (been there, done that) and make it through life just fine. Will the Leatt keep me from becoming paralyzed? I don't know and I'd rather not test it to find out, but the peace of mind from owning one is well worth the purchase price, IMHO.

BTW....do you ride Cycle Ranch often? That track is just awesome! I love it.

And check with Tatonka on the Leatt Brace, I hear he has a connection. :)
