Introducing Mystic Darkrider '08 aka R.I.P...
There it is, Mystic Darkrider 2008. As I have had too much bad ballbreaking experience with my cheapo Cabrinha seat harness, I decided to move to the 2nd level - chest harness. Hope it’s more gentle with me ;) There are always  ”buts” about chest harnesses for noobs, that they can start climbing up, hurt your ribs etc - but nothing is more annoying than something is squeezing...

So I decided to give it a try to get on the board.. First...
