I'm an advanced boarder. Why do I need the ButtShield™?
   It's simple - every time you try a new trick, whether it's riding faky or landing a 720, your chances of falling and taking a nasty hit are higher than those of a beginner on a bunny slope. In fact, you will fall faster and harder than a beginner - guaranteed! The ButtShield™'s layer of cushion is extremely effective in giving you the extra confidence you need to learn new riding skills, try new techniques, and get bigger air. The only way to develop and advance is by pushing the envelope. The ButtShield™ makes this task much less painful. By trying tricks you were afraid to try before - you will find yourself improving faster!

The ButtShield™ seems bulky. Is it comfortable to wear?
   The ButtShield™ is designed to cover your entire butt and lower back. Not just the tailbone, not just the sides! Also, within one or two runs the ButtShield™'s shock-absorbing foam will curve itself to fit your rear-end. Sounds funny? Try it for yourself. After your first run you won't even remember it's there. After your first fall you will feel the considerable difference, with significantly reduced impact and shock. If anything, wearing a ButtShield™ enhances overall comfort. Some of our testers were skeptical prior to using the pad. After several runs - ALL demanded keeping their pad and are still using it. Every single one.

What about looking goofy?
   With today's oversized snowboarding fashion, the ButtShield™ (worn inside your pants) is barely noticeable on most people. This is especially true after a run or two where the ButtShield™'s shape has conformed to your body. Coupled with the fact that most snowboarding jackets and tops cover your butt anyway - the "coolness factor" becomes a non-issue.

Does it shift around back there?
   The ButtShield™'s shape is designed to hold in place, while its foam material has a special texture which makes it "stick" to the inside of your pants. It works wonderfully. There is no need for a belt or some biker shorts to hold it in place. Once you've inserted it correctly it stays where it needs to be. Follow the following two steps:

	Top of the ButtShield™ just "peaking" over top of pants.
	Make sure thigh flaps are inserted as far down as possible. This locks ButtShield™ into place and prevents any shifting during riding.
