I couldnt find what I was looking for searching here, t least not using the search query ''helmets'' or ''helmet''

From reading those (and more) it looks like a lot of people prefer cheap Wally world bmx helmets.

I have my snowboarding helmet and goggles, but it's not full face so I guess it's out.

Mod Killer posted that he likes this one http://www.flyracing.com/indexy.php

I guess I'm just browsing old threads and looking for where someone recommended against a certain helmet because the ear pads werent thick enough or something. I dont remember and couldnt find the thread. That same thread had a link to some cheap helmets.

I wear a Gath, full coverage over the ears, super light, but I also like the one yamaslut wears.

I used to swear by the Protec Ace Spade. Cheap, light, and "sufficient" full face protection. Turns out the face piece is very flexible with the right amount of impact :banghead: . Now I have a Bell Bellistic. I got the wally world Bell for my wife but the face piece doesn't stick out far enough for the likes of my honkin nose. I'd recommend removing the visor on these.

that's what I ride with. it's ok, pretty lightweight. the metal clasp gets rusty but it's kept my head from being smashed a few times. :cheer:

looks like the yellow one is $10 cheaper...

I love mine! It's feals comrtable and very light weight. Doesnt kill your view and is just good to ride in. Only complaint is that the vents rust a little even more so if you rid in salt water but no big deal.

Some pics of me with mine for judgement

Heres a great reason to wear a helmet...Cant you just see the ear slapping the water had i not had it on. It was one of first attempts at rolls. PS. I'm around 1/2 or a little more now

I just a 75.00 motrocross helmet and it has worked great. I didnt have any problems with water logging and I just sprayed it out with fresh water,,,

I thinks its a hjc or something like it, bought it at a local motorcycle shop,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

The 1st time I went to the beach it saved my face from a nasty spill,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I just ordered one from Blowsion. It is supposed to drain fast and be light as well. We will see..........looks good though and it has full face protection.

I got the same one rat and I like it a lot. I know most people are not concerned about the full face but I have seen in person some pretty intense face injuries and I don't ever want to have to deal with one myself.

Without helmet pic. I use one all the time now!

I also have this bad habit of sticking out my tongue during stupid human tricks. I am using a tooth guard right now to train myself to keep my mouth shut.:biggrin:
