Material Ref?

;1219668']At the euro's those safety rules were enforced. I know of two players that were handed bar plugs and one player had to remove a disc that was made of aluminum that was peeling up revealing sharp edges.

True. The euros also enforced the helmet rules. I remember bill chasing someone in a flying helmet off court on the first day. There may have been several other tourneys that havent quite matched those epic organisational standards though..

James Fucking Brown played fixed brakeless on a road ratio forever and was in more control than most.

Are we using JFB as a role model again? You know how badly that could turn out? Remember dublin at the euros? Practically 1:1 ratios, and still caused more crashes than everyone else combined. Unless you count the awesome Barcelona vs Barcelona game on day 2. At one point all 6 of them were tapping out..

Its not so much the ratio/brakeless as the skill level of the rider. I think we underestimate how much bike control it takes to play this game sometimes.
