Neck braces?
phil- the surgeon posted,
I came across a company that made neck braces for motorsports and bike sports and I thought it'd be cool to share. I've been curious about neck protection because when you hit your head, your neck is injured too. What attaches your head to your body?

I think that in a hybrid sport like downhill skateboarding, neck braces would be a good idea. Rolling on your neck sucks at any speed!
Thoughts, comments?

we used to have some slim foam ones i raced Karts in...but come to think of it, unless you only want to stare at the ground it would be useless for tucking...
modify something! dig some foam out of the back of the neck, burn it so it doesn't keep splitting and sew the cover back over top so you have some lean!
