Very possible, indeed! He did tell me prior to his start that this was his first DH race and that if I needed by to yell to him. I yelled two times before the rock roller under the lift before the rock garden. He probably didn't hear me because he was in the zone.
No hard feelings here...
I am pretty jacked about the whole thing. I have been exchanging emails with GES staff and USAC about this type of incident. If there isn't a better way to prevent something like this in future someone could really get hurt.
I remember you asking if I was okay and I appreciate that! Not...
I'm the guy with the flying red Sinister. The guy piled up in the rocks was the racer to leave the gate 32, yes, 32 seconds before me. I caught him just before the rock garden and tried to take the right line as he was in the left line and he binned it just as I got to this section. He was...
Its hard not to compare a DH bike to the one that it replaces.
For what it is worth, I would love to ride an fbomb, but there is no way I am giving up the R9.
I have been using the Leatt for a year now and love it. Just last week at Diablo I put it to the test and it passed. It is still up in the air if I was out cold for a while, but my neck was fine. The muscles were VERY sore for the first few days of the week, but they are better now.

I have posted some pictures of my Leatt/Dainese fit in another thread. IMO, and from my experience with mine, there is no limitation while riding. To tell the truth, it just becomes part of your armor and you don't even realize that it is there.
On a side note... At every park I have been...
I have been using the Leatt this year and have not found mobility or lack of vision a problem. Maybe you don't have the rear brace in its lowest position. If you take all of the padding off of the brace you will see that the bolts on the back brace thread into a metal insert on a plastic...
Does anyone have any info on the trial conditions? I am coming out on Sat or Sun and see that there is some precip in the forcast, so I am wondering which day would be better.
How much rain does it take for the mountain to turn into a bog?
I NEED ANSWERS, DAMN IT!!!:)
Agreed!! Every park has to start somewhere. I think that it is hilarious when people get into the "my park is better than your park" discussion. WHO CARES, you have a good place to ride. That is all that matters.
Plus, coming from State College, it is a little over a 2 hour drive to 7...
That is the rock. Yea, it really does look more tame in the pictures, but when you get up to it in person your heart really begins to pump.
Thanks guys.
