Re: Leatt Brace for motocross
my friend uses a no fear one and he really likes it. Ive never heard of that brand but that doesn't really mean anything. I know they can really save your butt if you bite it hard. Another thing you might wanna look into is some of the hard knee protectors. the good ones will save you from busting up your knees but also work like knee braces and can keep you from blowing your knee out.Comment

Re: Leatt Brace for motocross
^Thanks Guys! That one looks great O2. I will prob order that one.
Ya James, I have just recently healed from that wicked crash I took on July 5th, the day after I got that bike from you, when I went blasting away in a pair of tennis shoes and NO helmet. I landed hard on my left knee and it hurt for a couple months. Thank God it wasnt worse than it was. I went flying thru the air..hahaComment

Re: Leatt Brace for motocross
Everytime he mentions that dirtbike I'm taken back. Then the blurry memories of trying to catch my breath again after having the wind knocked out of me, and a friend, or 2, over me asking, " are you okay?" lol...those were the days. If you ain't bustin, you ain't ridin. Somehow my brother could go all day without hitting the ground. Those days were few and far between with me on dirt. It happens when you start getting really comfy and start pushing it harder and harder, and then before you can correct...you're all incorrect.lol...but, that's how you get better.
I can't be getting bucked off a dirtbike these days. They can put you down for the count too easy. Like 02 said. Not much different than a buckin bull.
That neck brace looks like a very good investment.1 up

Re: Leatt Brace for motocross

'This ***er is like a F**ing bucking bronco or bucking brahma bull!!!...hahaha..The day after I bought my helmet I went flying off the back end going up a rocky hill and landed hard and my head bounced off a rock. It scratched my helmet up, but I was fine. Folks maybe should share their most wicked dirt bike crashes..or street bike crashesComment

Re: Leatt Brace for motocross
hah...oh man. which one...I guess this is the one for dirt, because it always comes to mind when I think about riding dirt. I was gettin rad, airing out, flying this KX-250 at this jump that you could adjust where you landed along this long landing hill. so hit it at a slightly different angle for farther jumps. know what I mean? This bike was a big ole mid 80s slowass thing. So it's getting late in the day. I'm killin it.(in my mind) then I come at that jump and blast off like I never had all the years of riding this place. Well, I don't know if it was because I knew I fuked up right when i left the ground, or what, but I didn't catch the bike with my boots, so off I start coming. I don't remember anything after my left leg coming up. I landed off the bike, I think. I might have bounced off the bike when it landed, but i do know that I landed(me not the bike) on a huge limestone boulder. I think it knocked me out for a second because I was a good distance from everybody, but the next thing I remember was my brother and uncle over me saying, "his lips are purple." then I started taking my hemlet off, and Ashley, my brother was asking me if I could breathe. Then they started saying that I probably had a punctured lung, and that a rib probably went through a lung. But, I stood up within a few seconds of catching my breath, they loadsed the bikes up, and I just laid down in the backseat of my bro's Bronco. That ended the day. I was fine after about 10-15minutes, so, all good.Originally posted by Dzone View Post
I've came down hard and haulin ass on the asphalt a time or 4, and that ain't shyt. You're set on a track, or as long as you can slide, roll, whatever. I did fuk up once and went without a jacket for what was supposed to be 2-3days of shipping my new summer jacket. So, I figured hell, it's too hot for leather, and I'm tired of that big Balistic that I still have, so I John Wayned it like most of the invinsible dudes on sportbikes. 2-3days turned into 2 wks. I was in a good mood one Friday afternoon. I turned down a side street that's safe to do whatever pretty much. Went to wheelie, and I don't know if too much weight was in my backpack, or that crazy 2CO model R6 powerband hit hard right when I pumped it, but the next thing I'm sliding down the asphalt on my back in a polo shirt. Thank god I had a backpack on that was packed tight as it could fit anything, cause it saved my skin. My back would be fuked if not for that backpack. The upper inside of my right arm from elbow to my righterar delt is scarred for life. along with a little spot on my forearm. But it really isn't bad for how bad it was rashed.
No jacket...I learned my lesson. Fuk that road rash is so fuggin painful!!!OMG!!!was that painful. Everyday I had to change the dressing, and it burned like someone was shooting me right there with a flamethrower while scrubbing nit with 80grit sandpaper. Then after about 45minutes, it would ease up and I was fine til the next dressing change. That went on for about 6-7 days. I had some guy at work tell me that I got skin graphed. He argued with me. I said dude! I didn't go to the hospital!
Huge moral of that story. Don't ride without your gear. Ever! I never did is the thing. People that know me couldn't get it for a minute when I told them what happened. I'm such a gear advocate, they just couldn't grasp it for a sec. Then they were finally like "wtf!???" so. WEAR YOUR GEAR!
