Every trainer or educator reading the abstract of this
"thing" has just pulled all hair out of their
collective heads!  

There is NO substitute for proper riding skills.  

"Ride Tight" or some other paste that gives slick
leather a little "hold" is fine.  And, to be honest, I
wouldn't mind a little "Velcro" on my legs after about
2.5 hours of foxhunting.  But, I'm afraid there are
worse things than falling off and Velcro-type stuff
would make it so.
