Helmets
TwoBobRob:
Except that they're polycarbonate....
That means no paint, no stickers and single use only if you value your head. Now I know all crash helmets are single use items, but polycarb ones have been known to split into pieces on a second impact even though they showed no sign of damage after the first.
Most of us would confess to dropping our lids or taking some fairly light slams and continuing to use the same one, I know I do.... But it's risky with polycarb lids ;)

So would it be better to go for a Motocross one or are they on the heavy side for racing BMX ??

Are they no good then, cos they pass what needs to be passed ???
MartyC:
Bell used to run an advert along the lines of "If you have a $20 head, buy a $20 helmet", kind of says it all really.
Am a bit of a hypocrite as these days I only wear a Protec pee pot but bitd I used to ride with a Bell Moto3 and will soon be getting an MX lid probably a Moto7 or a Fox Tracer :daumenhoch:
