I don't care who you are but neckbraces are one of the best investments you could ever make when it comes to riding.  I had a wreck a couple weeks ago, I didn't break anything thanks to my EVS RC3 neckbrace. It probably would have ruined my future because doctors said that if it wasn't for that brace I would have broke atleast 4 vertebrates in my neck. Oh, and what happened is aI got cut off going up a big triple and I ended up casing it really bad.
