I have a couple of questions about some safety gear. I have recently taken flying lessons from my quad :homerfallssmall: Flipped it out at Bruderheim on the trails and flew about 10 ft landing hard. I ended up with some very sore muscles, 2 strained hip flexors, 1 sprained shoulder, and whiplash. My main concern is now my neck, I have been looking for some sort of a neck support. I have only found full plastic braces, and I am not really thrilled with them. I am wondering if and where i might find something that isn't so restrictive. I am hoping for other options but if I have to spend the $300 for a full brace then I will give them a chance. Thanks for anyone that can give me a little help.

You could check out alpinestars, But the Leatt is the best brace money can buy as far as I am concerned, I wear one regularly for Downhill Bikes and love it. You will forget you have it on if it is sized properly and fits rights.
