It's amazing how much people bag on him for being crazy about neck braces. He is attacked on this site and by lots of people for his belief that a neck brace limits the range of motion and causes poor riding form that results in more crashes. Then I look at the side panel advertisement and it says that Atlas has a new neck brace and the selling point is 66% more range of motion.
Maybe Ryno isn't so crazy after all.

I love Ryno, but you need a huge grain of salt when listening to him.
The Shop
If your not listening to his tips on riding though you are missing out imo.
According to him he is right on everything and he clowns on people with differing opinions. Thats his approach whether its masks, riding gear, riding techniques, etc.
I feel the delivery sometimes ruins the message
If so, I'm starting to see a pattern here
Mostly Hopper, I am smart enough to know what Schtick is and I realize that most of his stuff that gets everyone so worked up is pure satire. He is filling a niche and he does have an audience, why should I let it bother me?
This thread should go well.
that’s a fucking leap to think they are changing their design because of ryno..
From their site "Not a neck brace. Unlike traditional full-frame braces, the Vision is what we like to call an "Anti-Compression Collar" - a brand new category of neck protection developed by Atlas that can ONLY assist with compression, and lateral hyper flexion (head sideways) forces on the neck. Traditional full-frame braces, like the Atlas Air, help manage these forces along with Hyper-Flexion (head forward) and Hyper-Extension (head back) using their built up front and rear "shelves"."
Pit Row
Dr. Leatt may be a fine doctor and understand the human body but a guy who was a top level racer knows the position a body needs to be in to safely ride.
Ryno's dislike of braces stems from a desire for crash avoidance, the neck brace is about crash mitigation.
I’ma huge ryno fan too, and agree with alot of what he says. Just think he got a little over his skis in the brace debate.
2nd to claim dr leatt can’t understand body positioning is laughable.
Yes, I am claiming that Dr. Leatt knows less about proper body positioning racing MX than Ryno does.
Force absolutely has to go somewhere. In a car they have sacrificial crumple zones to redirect force. On a motorcycle we are the crumple zone. If we are rigid from the feet to above the knee where is that force going to go? Either in the femur or the hip.
I ended up fracturing the back part of my C-1 vertebrae. It luckily did not affect my spinal cord and I did not lose any feeling, just thought I had gotten really bad whiplash.
When my insurance finally approved the CT scan 3 weeks later I found out about the fracture and was told not to do anything where I could fall and injure further for 3 months. I brought my helmet and brace into my doctor 2 weeks ago for the checkup so she could give me her thoughts on the injury because at this point I wasn't sure if the brace had helped or caused the fracture.
After I put it on and went through the motions with her she said without a doubt that the neck brace saved me from further injury by limiting my neck movement in the amount that it did. She was surprised at how much range of motion I still had while wearing the neck brace and wanted me to limit my movement further if I could.
For the record I am 6'4 200lbs and don't notice the neck brace when I am riding and have never thought it hindered my movement on the bike. I am also trying to get a hold of any of these neck brace companies to provide my info and CT scans to help with any neck brace research, so shoot me some contact info if you guys have any connections.
