Title: Show me your helmets, boyz
Post by: Gnarlyscoots on May 10, 2013, 12:33 AM

Need a new skid lid gents, and ladies, for track, ramp and concrete.

What do you use, suggest, any good bargains etc etc.

I'm after a mid range type of lid.

Pics would be great,

Cheers   :coolsmiley:

I use a THE point 5. Pretty good for £60-70.

THE .5  is a really good helmet, I have crashed very hard in one, I was dazed but was able to get up and get back on my bike, my collarbone went in 2 places .
661 comp is ok, I crashed very hard in one of them too, smashed my wrist to bits but My head had a good whack and was fine (arguably  :D) not as much protection as the THE and not as comfy. I use my THE for track, trails and skatepark, it's the best helmet for under £90 IMO, based on performance. :daumenhoch:

If you want a piss pot I recommend the TSG superlight

If you want a full face I recommend the Troy Lee carbon D2
