Slopestyle riders wear mouthguards, but their runs are pretty short. Not full anaerobic short, but perhaps short enough that the tradeoff is worth it and the inhibited breathing isn't for long enough so as to cause sufficient oxygen debt to impact their run in a meaningful way. I can tell you that I definitely considered getting a mouthguard after my concussion earlier this year and that the primary reason I never looked into it further is because I've been lazy about going to see my dentist.
