yea it seems they are targeting the track rider with these.
anyway when you hit bushes it doesn't affect your feet or ankles before the peg? I could see your point about maybe a branch or something getting caught in it somehow
I'm pretty sure these were designed for MX and not trails. Or do your trails have 60ft doubles that you can case?For the racer,track rider, or the crazy jumper these would probably be a good thing. I just think that for me, they would be pretty useless.
i just thought of this... they would also catch your foot as you tried to start your bike
My son has been racing with the ankle savers since they first came out.They have been thru several changes.He is currently racing with them in supercross along with several other riders now.Here is the latest version of the new ankle savers:

Cool. thanks for sharing. BTW who is your son so we can root for him on Saturdays?
Johnny Moore #140 east coast lites class. There are alot more sx riders using them now such as....231 Jake Lowry,
Teddy Parks 247, Alex Ray 314, Kyle Gills 521, Hunter Clements 93, AJ Cantanzaro 330,Gared Steinke 726 and Preston Mull 565
Probably weight, like Trav said, plus like anything else new it takes time. Remember neck braces?These things look great they really do. I would think they would save your ankles big time...only one question I have is, (and this is the elephant in the room) why aren't the pros using them?![]()
They look kind of cheesy to me and could possibly cause issues if you get you foot tucked back behind the peg which can happen. Also, this dude should worry about changing the front sprocket, before he tosses a chain grenades his cases...![]()
to be honest, i dont like tose ankle savers, i dont belive they work, and i wouldnt fell comfortable racing with them
