Paul Cooper states that he has ridden with the Leatt-Brace™ MOTO GPX and believes, as an experienced motocross rider, in its ability to help prevent catastrophic neck injuries without compromising his performance.

The four time British Motocross Champion, who recently returned to his native South Africa after a 15-year stint in the U.K., spent a day testing the Leatt-Brace™ on racetrack conditions. Following his experiences with the brace, Mr. Cooper has chosen to endorse the use of the Leatt-Brace™ MOTO GPX as a viable means of helping to prevent motor sport neck injuries.

After a long and glittering professional career, Mr. Cooper has himself sustained numerous motor sport injuries; testimony to his time spent at the top of a grueling sport.

“We are very honored to have a rider of Paul’s caliber endorse our brace,” said Dr. Chris Leatt, Leatt Corporation President and C.E.O. He added: “This kind of high profile validation is indicative of the brace’s high production quality and its non-restrictive performance as a safety device.”

The endorsement and opinion of Paul Cooper are those solely of Mr. Cooper in his capacity as an experienced motocross rider. No other capacity or expertise is asserted or implied. None of the linked Web Site’s contents are part of or incorporated by reference in this press release.
