It's definitely extension - aka "looking up". I have noticed this a bit in some corners (particularly downhill sweeping berms) but when dropping into a line that approaches vertical, the back of the helmet hits the "stop" behind the head preventing the ability to look further ahead. I can see the ground where it transitions back to flat, but I can't look much further down the trail, which is not a good feeling. I might be more inclined to wear it if I was just going to be hitting jumps and drops on flow trails all day, but I tend to mix up the tech and flow, and the lack of ability to look far down the trail when it gets steep has caused me to park the brace most of the time.
