Riding Gear Question!

(1/2) > >>

alan:
Hi guys, I have not been able to ride in a while, due to disk problems in my neck.  :cry:  I was wondering if anyone rides with a neck roll or proctor? Can anyone tell how much mobility you loose by useing one and what are the best ones to use.

 I am going to start riding again soon like Labor Day! :)

Alan :oops:

Paul:
I've raced with one (neck roll) but since stopped. I couldn't turn my head and see enough to feel comfortable with it on. Do you have a kidney belt?

alan:
I have always used a kidney belt, but I have 5 bulging disk in my neck from lots of trauma over the years!:cry:

I was thinking of getting the EVS2.I hear the EVS1 is bulkier and the 2 you dont really notice it.

On a similar note, I never gave much thought to how ridiculously thin the hip pads are in my AXO riding pants (1/8"). That was until I recently crashed on my hip in a big pile of rocks.  After limping around work for a couple of weeks (and generally feeling sorry for myself) I bought some 3/8" aerolite closed cell foam at a foam shop ($4) and built thicker pads. Used the old ones as a template, glued on some velcro, and cut a grid pattern (3/16" deep) with razor knife on the outside for more flexibility.  Havent crashed them yet but they sure feel better than the "tissue paper" originals.
