My biggest ongoing problem with the leatt is that my alpine stars spine protector pushes it up causing the same problem. The only solutions that I’ve found so far are don’t wear the suit (not happening) or wear my back pack with the straps sitting over the leatts side lugs to hold it down in place. With the latter I forget its there mostly.
The other problem is the size of your neck while its on. This means you have to modify pretty much anything you want to wear over the top. I was planning on doing a review on the Ogio flight vest but I tried it on with my leatt last night and the rear neck line is too high with the brace so would need to be sliced open like my armour and jersey but I don’t think its a good idea.
I’ll still do up my own thread though and it’ll be offered up for someone else to try. Shame it looked the goods
Landing is the part I always manage. Its having the wheels under me that presents the problem.
In all seriousness my cousin used to fancy himself as the next pastrana and was silly enough to pull the big jumps until he had two serious incidents. The first was a can-can only he couldn’t get his leg back over and a copper that saw it happen thought he would’ve been dead from the impact. Next big one finished him, came up short on a big set of triples and smashed both feet and ankles
Here’s the thing Diddel, this is the intrawebs – you need thick skin to survive at the best of times but if you fire from the hip and lead with your chin then you’re going to need that thick skin, a great sense of humour and on top of all that, the ability to communicate well enough to allow those that don’t know you from a pair of skidded undies in the bush understand when you’re ‘avin a larf
So far you’re making yourself look very wet behind the ears and as second hand as your bike
