WARNING: DO NOT GO SNOWBOARDING WITHOUT THIS
"Have you had the misfortune of suffering a snowboarding related injury? Are you going snowboarding for the first time? Want the confidence to try all those cool new tricks you've seen in the magazines?"
Preventing a fall or possible injury means wearing the necessary protective snowboarding gear. Also, take the needed steps to improve your performance. Take lessons, get plenty of sleep, and don't snowboard when you're tired.
Each year, there are in excess of 150,000 injuries and dozens of deaths related to skiing and snowboarding combined, according to Jeffrey Hadley, Ph.D., an epidemiologist with the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health and a former Ski Instructor.
Here are some of the most common reasons for snowboarding injuries:
- Lack of necessary skills
- Muscle fatigue, a.k.a., “leg burn”
- Tiredness or sleepiness
- Alcohol intoxication or a hangover
- Poor visibility or blizzard conditions
- Dull edges on hard snow conditions
- Fear and anxiety
- Snowboarding too fast, relative to your ability
- Encountering moguls or small bumps
- Hard, icy, and
other poor snow conditions

Dear Friend,
If you've been snowboarding before, you'll remember falling down while trying to maintain your balance or carving your first few turns. Well....wouldn't it be nice to have the protection to allow you to ride without fear of wiping out and risking injury??
Back in 1997, I was boarding down my favorite run at my local mountain and had the unfortunate experience of hitting a patch of ice. I fell hard on my ass and fractured my tailbone. I was out of action for months, not to mention the remainer of that season.
During my rehabilitation, I researched protective tailbone and hip protection that would withstand heavy impact. There was none that incorporated molded 1/2" high impact foam for both the tailbone and hip areas. None until two years later after countless painstaking hours at the boardroom before the final performance engineered piece was completed.
I don't
want ANYONE to go through the pain that I went through....Not only the
physical pain, but the pain of not being able to enjoy my favorite sport.
Don't
Risk Injury
1/2" high impact closed celled foam construction to pad against unexpected
falls.
Maximize
your Safety
Adjustable velcro waist and thigh straps for a perfect fit every time.
Ride
with Confidence
Step up your riding. Peace of mind that gives you the security you need
to maximize your abilities.
Stay
Dry and Warm Too!!
Technical body armor design.
Using the latest manufacturing
technologies available today, Butt Gear is designed for maximum shock
absorbtion. Its advanced design provides warmth and flexibility and is
one of this year's best new products.
RIDE WITH CONFIDENCE
Whether you're a beginner, anxiously waiting to hit the slopes on a snowboard for the first time, or an experienced rider looking to take your snowboarding skills to the next level, this years latest in snowboarding safety gear will allow you to ride with confidence and make your snowboarding experience this season one to remember.
If you want to become serious about snowboarding, you'll want protection so you can experience a long and enjoyable season of safe snowboarding. Nothing is worse than having your season cut short because of a preventable injury. Trust me, I know....
ESSENTIAL
SNOWBOARDING GEAR
Some equipment that you may want to consider include wrist pads, back support, knee supports, and possibly an ankle brace. There are many great products available on the market right now that will guard against wrist, head and leg injuries....but what about your hips and tailbone??
There are some products out there that offer tailbone and hip protection but all the available products I researched were either not comfortable, not durable and wouldn't protect me at all. That's when I decided to manufacture a product that I would wear and that would have protected me from the fall that I had back in 1997.
MADE BY SNOWBOARDERS,
FOR SNOWBOARDERS
Made from high impact
foam and lycra, Butt Gear is protective snowboarding gear that is lightweight,
adjustable, and comfortable to wear. It's cutting edge fabrics and materials
make it breathable, water resistant and durable. No other hip and tailbone
protector offers a more flexible and impact resistant solution for a safe
and fun snowboarding experience.

you how much I liked the gear!!" - Tony Mabe |

"JJ, I just came back from my ski trip to Bogus Basin ID. The conditions were packed and icy (it snowed the last two days I was there, but only a couple of inches). The Butt Gear really helped! Even though I was better balanced this year, the ice made carving a little hard and the "death cookies" under the power made non-groomed runs nearly impossible for me. So I took a few falls.... I came back home with no lower end damage with the help of Butt Gear!" - Mike Danagher |

"Thanks
so much for saving my ass! I used the Butt Gear for a couple of
days in Colorado and it saved not only my booty, but also my arms,
since I was no longer trying to stop skidding downhill. I was amazed
that the velcro held, too. Great productl!" |

"J.J.,
You are the MAN! The Butt Gear saved me BIG TIME! Saturday was my
first time out and I was horrible. I'm sure you remember that day.
Caught my back edge a couple of times and WHAM! The Butt Gear prevented
any injury to the precious backside as you said it would. I am incredibly
impressed, and here to say that that $70 bucks was money well spent.
I am recommending the Butt Gear to everybody!" |
