Message: [QUOTE="DieselTech, post: 1336614, member: 74999"] As for the brace, I doubt it. I had one that they gave me that was like $500-600 (for just the left brace) and though it was a quality brace, it wasn't designed for motocross use specifically. I would want mx-specific braces (and for both knees, not just the one). That's why I purchased Asterisk Cells (about $600 a set) and they are very nice. I wore them while racing AFTER my ACL tear but before the surgery - not sure if they would prevent 100% of injuries, but I'm not willing to risk it again. I think they are worth the money, just wish the insurance would have paid for them. I wore them less than 3 months after surgery while racing a hare scramble also - I had no issues (I was on my quad though, not the bike). The Asterisks are more securely held to your leg, and also provide more protection (not just stabilization and ROM limiting). So, that's why I'd choose mx-specific braces over the one you will get.
