Before I decide to jump off the nearest bridge and end it all can you tell me what the false premise is?
I simply made an observation that one of Ryno's biggest complaints have been addressed with the latest brace.
If you look at my posts I've never personally come out against braces. They are not for me as I have a stupid large neck and haven't found one that fits. If you like them and believe in their effectiveness go ahead and wear one. If you don't believe in them don't wear one. Freedom of choice is a beautiful thing.

I am NOT a Pro racer, so a little limitation is OK in exchange for a little more safety.
I race with the OP in Hare Scrambles with FTR down here in FL. I see lots of guys wearing even more protection than I do. To each his own, but don't rely on a Pro or Ex-Pro to tell you not to wear certain safety equipment because it may hurt your race performance.
That ONLY matters if you're racing for $$$ and are willing to pay the injury consequences.
As for the rest of the gear, I just can't get comfortable in knee braces. TP199 for me, I need new knees anyway. lol
I have never heard him say things like “the studies assume impacts in this direction, here is my evidence saying they haven’t considered x” or “the studies assume x force into the spine, but I found this other medical journal saying motorcycle accidents typically result in x kN of force into the spine” that is what it means to challenge a study, I bet he hasn’t even read any of the studies, let alone understand them and challenge them.
He just rants and raves about bear traps, alpha energy and a bunch of other trash.
When it comes to “challenging the science” the dude is bringing a piece of cooked spaghetti to a gun fight.
He is like one of the guys that says the earth isn’t a globe because the horizon is flat from his back yard.
By all means, he doesn’t need to wear a brace, and nothing wrong with his opinion as such, but using a large platform to actively try to stop others wearing safety equipment without a shred of evidence is irresponsible.
Great rider, interesting character but a total loon when he rants about anything science related.
Watch a pro 125 race from 25 years ago, and compare it to a modern 250 race, it would be daft to expect injury rates to stay the same.
Correlation does not equal causation.
To prove your hypothesis that it is the braces causing the change in injury, you would need to compare riders using the same bikes on the same tracks etc.
Or it could be done with testing on cadavers, and using simulation tools. which to my understanding has happened
To my engineering knowledge, braces look like they are designed to do exactly that.
Didn’t James Stewart wear knee braces too? Doesn’t ken roczen as well... mr fluidity’
Villapoto’ neck braces , millsaps’ and many others..
Does it slightly hinder some range of
Motion , sure. Does it keep you from being the best ??
Apparently not.
Ryno .. blah blah blah

I don't know he answer, that's why I ask. I just remember tracks from the 90's were way more point and shoot and choppy with way less rhythm.
It makes sense if you think about it as the brace keeps your helmet from snapping it.
"66% more range of motion (vs Atlas Air)
Introducing Pro-Motion, a drastically increased range of motion allows you to freely see up and down hills, at your feet, to the sky, or tuck and roll during a crash"
There’s a ski area about 30 minutes from one of my local tracks. The ski area is pretty small and just a local spot, but this winter I’m hoping to ski in the morning and ride prepped practice in the afternoon. I think doing them back to back would be a fun comparison.
Whisky throttled 4th gear and kept it wide open, cased in to a hill outside track, hit my chin to bars(?) and lost consciousness for a while. Spent two days in hospital.
Now feeling dizzy in some neck positions etc.
Having quite mixed feelings if I would be any better if same crash would have happened with a neck brace on... Might have broken jaw instead of 7 stitches?
Reason why I did not have brace was that I did have very minor low sider two weeks earlier and I thought then that my brace caused collarbone and back shoulder pain - but not really sure if it really was braces fault
Whatever he is trying to search for, hole to fill inside or pretend he is doing while displaying narcissistic personality disorder, I wish him the best.
