Press Release Summary = CAPE TOWN, South Africa - Leatt Corporation (Pink Sheets: LEAT.PK), a Nevada, USA Corporation headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa, and the developer of the Leatt-BraceT, a Neck Brace System designed to help prevent potentially devastating motor sport injuries to the cervical spine (neck), today announced that the Leatt-BraceT MOTO GPX was recently recommended for use in a video message by David Bailey, the legendary motocross and supercross champion of the 1980s, who was encouraging the use of available safety gear, specifically the Leatt-BraceT MOTO GPX. Mr. Bailey received no consideration from Leatt Corp. for the recommendation and is not a paid employee or agent of Leatt Corp.
Press Release Body = After having been heavily involved in the sport of motocross for nearly 40 years, Mr. Bailey earned three National Championships, as well as a Supercross Championship, two Grand National Championships and five trips to the top of the podium as a member of Team USA in the Motocross des Nations. An unfortunate 1987 pre-season crash left him unable to use his legs. However, he came back with a vengeance, and began training for the Ironman Triathlon, which he won in 2000.
David has witnessed numerous crashes over the past years. However, after a recent crash involving racer Ryan Sipes who was seriously injured, David felt the need to speak out directly to top riders, agents and the AMA regarding the use of available safety gear, specifically the Leatt-BraceT MOTO GPX. David felt strongly enough about this topic that he sat up in bed throughout his message, despite recent surgery.
