our computer is really ancient..... could you sum up for me what the video says.  It usually buffers the video so bad we don't even bother trying to view it.
Thank you.    Sandi A

Sandi,

It's quite an emotional plea for all the big name MX riders in the sport to use and endorse the Reatt Brace because they are so respected by those that follow them, and by doing so save all those envolved a lot of heart ache down the road. He clearly states that he is not paid by the company or has ever spoken to anyone from the company. He is speaking from his bed, wearing a baseball cap, with fairly long stringy hair. I remember that in his time he was considered to have incredible feel for the bike and was really smooth.

I've heard of one desert racer, think it was Big Bear Joe, or something like that, that was paralized from an neck/spinal injury. It makes a lot of sense to me.

That's some endorsement there, hope to see more braces on racers soon.

Thank you DG for the info.  It was appreciated.
I do feel alot better knowing that Bryan has one of those braces.  I know it's not a miracle worker but it should be helpful.
