Top Secret Spy Photo Of 661 Neck Brace Prototype

Sunline Product Developer and Backbone Adventure Cycling baby-Pro Jason Schippers was R&D'ing a super-secret prototype gravity racer neck brace in Crested Butte last weekend. I e-mailed Jay for a quick explanation of it's origin and this is what he has allowed me to leak about the product thus far....


"It is called a Leatt Brace. http://www.leatt-brace.com/ It’s main focus was on motocross when it came out. It is moving more into the DH world and is being used by several pro riders. Noted pros using it are Cedric Gracia, Andrew Neethling, and Aaron Gwin to name a few. I am using it partly because I am working on some body armor that will be able to be used with it. Right now there are some compatibility issues with it and body armor. I also think that it is a pretty good idea. It is a little hard to get adjusted for DH, but once it is, you don’t even notice it. We are also coming out with a moto style chest protector that will have it built in. I don’t see that piece being used for DH, but we will have it for moto.



There ya have it, from the guy making the stuff that you buy in stores to keep you safe. Valencia Sport Group (661, Sunline, Royal) is designed and ridden by YOUR peeps, not someone in a dimly light room in a country you can't point to on a map. Then again, you thought Europe was in Canada...
