So my kid is starting to hit the big stuff - doing the entire proline on Dirt and Fade and generally things that I have no interest in hitting, so it might be time to reconsider what protective equipment he has on given that he wears what I wear: stuff for normal stuff (full face and knee pads).
Im thinking neck brace and torso pads...
Are there downsides with a neck brace? I go back to my car race track days when I was in a HANS, and there are positives and negatives to those. Any reason why a neck brace is a bad idea for a 14yo?
