Press Release Summary = CAPE TOWN, South Africa - Leatt Corporation (Pink Sheets:
LEAT.PK), a Nevada, USA Corporation headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa, that
develops, sells and distributes the Leatt-BraceT, a Neck Brace System designed to
help prevent potentially devastating motor sport injuries to the cervical spine
(neck), today announced that it has produced a training DVD for the FIM which will
enable them to educate their doctors on the technical aspects of the of the
Leatt-BraceT.

Press Release Body = The FIM (Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme), the
governing body for international motorcycle racing, approached the Leatt
Corporation, after being introduced to the Leatt-BraceT by Dr. John Boden of MSA
(Motorsport South Africa), to request the production of a training DVD featuring the
Leatt-BraceT. Dr. Hans Robert Kreutz, head of the FIM medical panel, specifically
asked the Leatt Corporation to produce the presentation DVD for the international
medical panel, a specialist panel of doctors from FIM member countries. These FIM
doctors will be able to incorporate this training DVD into their training seminars,
which are attended by, amongst others, Chief Medical Officers of all FIM sanctioned
international motorcycle racing events. The intention is to educate the FIM doctors,
and their affiliated associations, on the technical and medical aspects of the
Leatt-BraceT as well as the practical aspects of its use.

The film was completed in January 2006 and a total of five DVDs, including short
(5min) and long (15min) versions of the presentation were then sent to Dr. Kreutz,
who will show the DVD at FIM seminars throughout 2006.

Through the distribution of this training DVD, which introduces the brace and covers
areas such as medical background, testing, fitment and a practical demonstration,
various doctors and medical staff will be exposed to the biomechanics of the
Leatt-BraceT and its attempts to prevent motor sport injuries to the neck by
limiting the extreme ranges of movement caused during an accident.

"This is a great opportunity for us to expose our product to the people who,
ultimately, influence what the minimum legal requirements are for each class of
racing in terms of protective gear," said Dr. Chris Leatt, Leatt Corporation
President and C.E.O.
