Do any of you guys think that now people have the leatt brace and their 4-strokes.. They think there invincible?...Im kinda of starting to feel this way when i go to tracks and see guys getting carted out or med-evac out of the place... some of them are actually good riders and the others well shouldnt even be allowed on the vet track..

I'm going with...no. Now if I had one of those Michelin Man suits, it might be a different story.

Anyone who purchases a motocross bike, goes to a track on their own will, sign up to race, and go out on the track. SHOULD know that there is an apparent risk involved with riding or racing a motocross bike. If not, Then your just ignorant.

I dont think that you are seeing more accidents due to Leatt/Thumpers. More people are joining our sport... its growing.. and more dealers are selling 4 strokes...

No, more people are going to the track because the heat is gone. I will say gas prices has made an impact on racing. Car pooling is more prevalent. Its easy to be the leader with the outlandish spending done here. Who needs $20,000 custom Silverado Door Handles and $20,000 24's for your daily driver?

The sport is progressing. If we had EFI two strokes or electric bikes the same could be said. Tracks and modern style of riding has made the speed much faster then it was 20 years ago. Add the interweb and everyone's broken finger makes top of page. It was all that damn Jeremy McGrath's fault with his stylish speedy attack of the track. Before him we were all dirt clods.

Honestly, I think the bikes today inspire riders to attempt more than they might be capable of, compared to riding with a leatt brace.
Personally, when I’m riding at the local track, I forget that I am even wearing a Leatt brace. However, when I am having trouble in a particular section of the track, I’ll sit there at watch other riders go through and note what bike they are on and how they do it (Line, speed, momentum, throttle control, etc.). Then undoubtedly, I say to myself…I got a bad ass 450, I should be able to clear that no problem. You know what happens next…Your either a hero or a zero.

Custom door handles.... you crazy Cali kids are too kewl....LMAO

My girlfriend is from HB and still has family out there so we are out quite a bit. Maybe one day we will move there, but it seems so fake. At least you have moto and surf to keep you from spending money on some dope dubs..lol

AMA714, cali is pretty fake. My wife and I have been out here for 3 years and we have a 2 1/2 year old daughter. If you are kid free, then I guess it would be more fun. But it isn't a very kid friendly place... or at least where we live now... A lot of stuff to do around here though. There is never a dull moment.

The damn thing was originally supposed to be available in june
