All my years of riding and playing hard have taken its toll on my neck (t4-t7 compressed). Does any one ride with a neck brace and/or have a recomendation on what to buy?

You could always try a leatt brace, its a motocross neck brace. I have seen a lot of snocrossers wearing this brace tho.

What is it that the crazy canadian wears around his neck when he rides?
Take a look at these.

Let me know if you see anything you are interested in and I'd be happy to hook you up.
I've always wondered why seemingly no one wears a leatt or something similar when riding. Leatt just came out with a non-adjustable model for like 200 bucks - going to pick one up for mx riding this summer.
Moqui - ask your Dr but I'm not sure that a brace will help your condition may only lessen any damage caused in the event of a crash. I am no doctor but seems like that would be the case. I had neck issues (whiplash) from a sled accident and couldn't ride for more than a few hours on one day with out suffering the next with neck pain. Bought the lightest helmet I could find and much of my problem went away. You may think about this as well. Good luck.

brace-up
As a para for 17 years,and following a c5-c6 fusion in 06, I now use a sixsixone collar a good friend thought I might benefit from. I had my sons collar from his mx'n, but found that the sixsixone "youth" (slimmer) was less restrictive and helped immensely. I also recommend the lightest helmet, which is usually expensive... Anyhow, both pieces of equipment has made riding much more safer and less tiring.
