Great gift idea for any new riders:
The MMA requires mandatory neck protection for all riders in the mini classes (85cc and smaller). This can be as simple as a foam ring or as elaborate as a carbon fibre neck brace that you see many of the pro riders using. It is used to prevent hyper-extension of the neck caused by a (relatively) heavy helmet during a crash. Remember….If you start racing with neck protection you probably will use it for the rest of your life.
Just in case……
