I own the A-stars BNS Pro (current model) and to be honest, I haven't used it for maybe 8 months. It feels too bulky, wobbles around when launching off jump faces (especially through rhythm sections...) and inevitably one or both of the x-straps will slip off the useless mounting tab. Then I have to stop and refit it....only for it to happen again.
Two questions:
1. Has anyone got a hack to stop the Astars BNS moving all over the place? Shoe laces instead of the stretchy x-straps? Sewing it into your skin? I'm about done with it.
2. I honestly "believe the hype" that the Atlas feels like wearing nothing, but can anyone comment on the strap system? Does it have the same movement issues as the Astars?
I obviously prefer the freedom of wearing no brace at all, but I am going to start racing again this year and I feel like I am asking for trouble not wearing a brace amongst a field of other madmen.
What say you, Vital brains trust?
