[QUOTE="Okiewan, post: 847693, member: 16119"] Not speaking for Billy, but I think if you search the forums, you'll find out that this has been covered many times. My, non-professional opinion? You're gettin it anyway :) 1) I'll take a broken bone over a blown knee, anytime. Yes, I've had both. Bones heal in relative short order and well, knees are never the same again. That's not to say that a brace will cause a broken bone. Transfer the force required to break a femur to your knee? No thanks. 2) Assuming you are in decent shape for the sport, you should have muscle strength. Wearing the brace while riding is not going to cause muscle apathy. Wear it 24/7, I suppose that could happen. 3) There are opinions both ways. Most professional MX'er / Off-Road'er out there wear braces of one kind or another. Most of those from one company. I'm sure they have access to good sports / ortho doctors and have heard the arguments. If it wasn't in their best interest, I doubt they'd wear them. Just my .02 [/QUOTE]
