Haha, losing it? Where did I lose it? If you could read my comments in such a way that it seems like I'm losing it and unbalanced, it might just be a reflection of your own emotional state while reading them. Comments like we can make our own kneebraces, and tape wool around our knees... haha what are you even talking about now? Haha, like I said, I don't even like fox, I just think it's funny that you're so adamant about a bashing a product that you've heard one thing about, not actually experienced yourself, and then go off on a rant about how first the knee braces suck, then Fox sucks, and then all of sudden it's all Chinese made products. That would be considered losing it as you grasp for anything to back up a point that nobody agrees with.
Haha, you sir have failed.
On that note, there is nothing else I can possibly say to get my point across, nor do I feel like you're intelligent enough to grasp mine or anyone elses point, so this is my last response to this thread.
Good day sir

I just realized if you google for pictures with the word "dumbgeon", all you get is stuff from vital. Is this a coincidence?

1. I have seen the brace. 2. Surgery and 6 months rehab and 11 000 dollar made me upset on my friends behalf. 3. Just borrow a friends Podkneebrace and take the joint apart (easy use tools or just bend it little, it will snap you know..) . See for yourself. 4. THINK! Do you always answer for everybody or anyone elses? Are you the cheerleader in your club? And i don't think you can resist a last respond. I think that you absolute need the last comment on everything. Just like me.......

Point taken. 2034 readers can choose now anyway. Thats about the amount of licensed mxracers in entire Sweden. ( We aren't the ones with the issue here) yeah sure! I rest my case......

Ok so what you're getting at is that we should all contact customer service at Fox and tell them, "Hey, I want to place a complaint about one of your products. I was online, and I saw a post on a motocross forum from an anonymous guy in Sweden that said he heard from some guys dad that his son fell and while the guy was just laying on the ground, the knee brace just broke for no particular reason other than it was made in China and hurt his knee. Nobody else in response to it had noted any problems or complaints with this product, but this one single guy did, and that is completely unacceptable. Further more, because of this, I will boycott all Fox products and anything made in China." Is that about right? Why isn't this thread in the dumbgeon by now.
You want to know how an intelligent person would have started this thread? In short it would be something along the lines of:
"A local racer here hurt his knee in a slow speed wreck, and was wearing _______ knee braces. I was wondering if anyone else here has experienced any problems with _______ knee braces and perhaps anyone that owns them might want to keep an eye out on that specific area that failed for this local guy."
The story how it happened is actually true. I heard it from the source since i personally know the rider who got injured. Imagine laying on the ground for a while not very shaken or hurt, then suddenly you hear and feel a crack to your protectiongear, and slowly you tear your acl...That's not a good feeling

Im still not clear on this. So he crashed at 5 mph as Big said in one of his early posts, then you just said he was laying on the ground for a while. This would mean if he didn't get up right away, he either was hurt from the crash or trapped under his bike. If the knee he hurt was trapped under the bike, this would mean the full weight of the bike was probably on the brace at a weird angle and when it broke, the bike manipulated his leg/knee. Sounds like if he wasn't wearing the brace, his leg would have been twisted or torqued this way regardless.

If thats the case, how is the knee brace at fault? These braces are supposed to support you in "riding" position and offer some protection from minor impacts but I still do not see how you can blame a brace for this, no matter what company it is. If he landed from a jump and the brace blew out then or something like that, I'd probably be more in agreement. Unless im missing something, for a brace to "spontaneously" break at a non hinge point would mean there must have been some serious weight or pressure put on it.
