Rear brake arm position

[skiracer]

Has anyone had any success in running the rear brake arm coming out of the hub in the upward position as apposed to the downward position?  The reason I ask, in the last couple of races, mine is getting really beat up.  Maybe it is just the way I ride; bouncing off too many rocks and trees....  Just looking for another option that would help protect the arm...

Sorry, no I won't be there. I travel alone so the trip is too far for one race.
