North_Acepersonally I think its stupid to not wear a helmet skiing or doing anything risky (biking even) but I know the importance of mouthgaurds as well but never wear it skiing. I don't see a lot of people wearing them either. will it ever catch on?
theabortionatorProbably not. In skiing you take a lot of hits to the head. You don't really take many to the teeth.
you realize that mouthguards are designed to prevent concussions right?

The only 2 times I can think of in 20 years that one would have helped me was when I was like 11. I couldn't get enough speed for the big jumps on the rental board I had one time. Sitting on my board down the hill and still couldn't clear it. Gave it one last shot all out and came up like 2 feet short and got knuckle raped, need my my face and had blood everywhere. Then another time like 6 years ago where another kid on park crew threw a rake to me instead of hanging it to me and it hit the ice weird and the end smashed me in the grill.
That's literally all I can think of and neither of those were that bad.
If you feel it's important wear one though. Nobody is going to make fun of you for it. Do whatever you want. Some people wear wrist guards some people wear impact shorts, at one point I wore knee pads. What ever you feel you need to do to be safe/comfortable do it. Don't wait for it to become a trend before you do it.
Just do it. If you decide you don't like it you can always take it out and throw it in your pocket.
gapersarefriendsmouthguards are for preventing concussions not necessarily teeth protection. when your jaw clamps down after a hit to the head a mouthguard lessens the jarring of the jaw and it lessens conkies, idk really i have to wear one for hockey (with a cage) and it sucks

BaileyBLast season I fell on a down tube doing a front swap and smashed my mouth, nearly knocking out one of my front teeth. Defs wish i had a mouthguard then but still dont have one
theabortionatorBut according to this thread it wont do anything for your mouth.
Andy_pearyI wouldn't be apposed to mouth guards, because 2 different times I have bit holes in my tongue because I crashed some wierd way
