Neck braces for Motocross and hands going numb

[Dzone]

Have heard there are some good products for this problem. Only ones I have seen are for riding on the hiway...its a lot different going numb on a motocross track while trying to get in a 20 minute hard run. Anybody know of anything fo rthis?

Thanks



This is a post in reply to a guy who said neck braces are a wste cuz they cause broken collarbones. This one is about road racing. I need to know what to get for motocross.



~~~~My son wears a RR Leatt brace and he will NEVER go out on the track without it!!!! This device is definitely a HUGE safety device that all racers should consider!!! OMG who wouldn't take a broken collar bone over a neck injury or death!!! Sorry dude but that is a ridiculous post. My son was forced into a concrete wall @ 90mph, flew into the catch fence and drooped 20ft to the track in a SM race. The helmet was destroyed from absorbing energy on impact and the neck brace did its job!!! No neck injury and not even a headache although 2 bones were slightly broken in his back from the spinal compression. Scorpion helmets and neck braces are mandatory safety gear for us. I sincerely hope that motorcycle racing follows NASCAR's lead with mandatory neck safety devices....my .02.

your hands are going to go numb until you build up the endurance and what not for your hands to handle the ride

I remember how that buzz of the 2-stroke combined with whoops, jumps, etc... just bumpy, hard riding...really gets to the hands and forearms, huh?
Like James said, you'll get more acclimated to the whole 9 the more time you're out there.

You're wearing gloves, right?
