    Important: Post your answer in the comments for a chance to win some serious loot. Of course, Nerve Rush has to win the swag too, so the more you share, the better swag we’ll get to give away. The highest number of comments on this post wins & ONLY the comments left here on the Nerve Rush site count towards that total.

    Now a prepared adventurer always knows what’s at stake, so while we know there’s untold treasure in the adventure ahead, we have confirmation that if we total the most comments out of the other 10 sites hunting for the treasure, we’ll be picking at least two of the following prizes from the booty and give them away to our crew (that’s you) to help you prepare for your next adventure.

    About Demon United

    demon united logo

    Demon United is a boutique adventure company based out of Salt Lake City, Utah. For the last 10+ years, they have been making protective gear for extreme athletes. So, elbow pads and helmets, spine protective gear and knee pads. Great for mountain bikers, snowboarders, extreme roller derby’ers — you name it.

    Demon United employs D30 technology into their protective gear. D30 is a non-newtonian liquid that looks and feels like a kind of putty. Upon impact, though, the molecules in the putty instantly bind together and form a solid block. This allows for lightweight gear that is incredibly strong. D30 is paving the way in impact-protection technology.
