I stopped wearing ff when I stopped shuttling and spent more time climbing because they where hot, restricted breathing a bit(at least it felt that way) and they where a pain if you tried to hang them somewhere. I have been contemplating getting a ff again as I have recently been pushing boundaries and sending larger drops and jumps but local availability has been an issue.
I would also argue that high speed flow trails are more dangerous than relatively low speed tech trails due to the increased speeds you are crashing at if things do go wrong.
That being said I signed myself up for Canadian National Enduro Series race and they require a ff so I will need to track one down this year.
