your right about the cool factor, get stewart or carmichael to wear that new rxr body armour and a leatt brace, and every kid in the world will want to wear one. i purchased a six six one body suit for my son, but it made him look like " arnie ( ill be back) schwarz-----. also in our state in aus, there has been a big push to get rid of those nasty things on our tracks. some clubs have been kicked out of competition untill they comply with the new saftey track rules. 2 weekends ago a senior rider had his stomach ripped open in a crash over a crap jump, and he wasn't wearing any armour! but i bet he does now.

i totally agree, i came of a triple and i had my bikes' front wheel smack me in the chest and look at the weight, all i done was bruised a rib and winded myself now if i was wearing anything else i think i would have broke sumthin or maybe worse.
