quotes Except that isn't dubstep. It's good, but it's not dubstep.

quotes I'm not anticipating Whistler trails unfortunately, not this year. Love the shot of staff housing at 0:20, what a place!

quotes Guessing you've never been. No sponsor hype whatsoever. Fort Bill is just one long slog of a rock garden mixed with trees and jumps which kills you and the bike. Plus the consequences for screw ups are pretty high, see pics of Hill's bike after his crash t'other year.

quotes Cool photo! Shame there's someone in the background there, it kind of distracts the eye, to me anyway. You could maybe clone him out in PS.

quotes You keep using your moto lid you might be seeing stars :P. Enjoy your denial.

quotes Your helmet has SNELL protection to protect motorbike riders from motorbike crashes. Your riding a mtb and you will have mtb crashes. It seems very solid because it is too solid for your needs and will greatly increase your likelihood of repeat concussions (which if you knew anything also means increased risk of permanent brain injury). If you have actually had 5 (I have had 2) then you should be very interested in what works best, not what your layman's opinion reckons is best.

quotes Just because you think it offers little padding doesn't mean it wont protect you. Your opinion means nothing in the face of actual evidence. You can flex pro hockey helmets like nothing else but it's all for impact dispersion and absorption. If it doesn't fit then get a helmet that fits your head.

quotes Sorry, I was not very clear. The solid plastic armour doesn't reduce impact at a slow rate, which does not prevent broken bones etc, but will prevent bad cuts and road rash. New soft shell pads, that O'Neal / POC and Nuke Proof are now also using (all made by Sas-Tec) are much better in terms of impact absorption and it basically acts like suspension for your bones, putting a good bit of damping between you and the point rocky stuff. When you compare it to hard shell pads and foam its like so much better / safer / lighter and more flexible. Don't get me wrong I would rather have plastic than nothing, but often you can't wear a neckbrace with armour so I would chose the brace, if I could afford one, which I can't. This might be of interest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXUdpqbxLn0

quotes Stubbornness in the face of fact, like people who don't believe in evolution. You keep thinking that way, clearly you are the expert.

quotes Not everyone does but body armour with solid plastic plates has been shown to be very little protection. Unless you have something like the 661 Evo suit you're better off protecting the most important parts.
