[QUOTE="PSJBrock, post: 107477, member: 1050"] Helmet only once. I was riding the old mint 400 course on my YZ 125 probably top of second just shifting into third. This section was pretty whooped out and I was skimming the top of them the best I could. There is a wash that runs perpendicular to the trail and I knew it was there. If you time it just right you can hit the second to last whoop clear the last one and land in the wash. Well I didn't time it right plowed the last whoop and didn't have enough speed to clear the wash. Front wheel plowed the bank and my left hand came off the bars. Blew the mouth guard off the front of my helmet front hitting the cross bar pad. I didn't go down but I coasted to a stop and had to shake the cobwebs out. Same thing with the chest. I don't wear the plastic chest protectors, I cant ever get them to fit right and they always move and rattle. I wear the Troy Lee Designs Under jersey roost guard. I believe if I had a steering stabilizer on my 125 my hand would not have came of the bars, because the damper would have slowed the handle bar jerk down. Sorry to go off on a tangent but it is possible to hit your chest or helmet on the bars. Especially if you ride over the front fender like I tend to do a lot. [/QUOTE]
