Read thread.

i was looking for an update. these things tend to change during development.

1. find polycarbonate at a hobby store, or online
2. cut to fit with scissors
3. apply car window tint
4. ?????
5. skate and profit.

you're gonna want to probably try to mold the plastic first, i just slapped the tinting on there with a flat visor, and it looked sick until the next morning after having it bent, the tint bubbled up pretty bad...

patience children. projects like these don't just appear out of thin air.. creating molds and prototyping takes time. they will be done in time for the 2010 race season. pricing won't change much, if at all.

i cant wait to see a DH specific helmet thats going to be awesome

[GhengisChron]

is the bell drop or bell arrow recommended for DH?

i know a lot of people use them, but do they meet all the legit safety standards for bangin your head on concrete and cars?

there's some drops on ebay for 50 bucks, but with no shield i dunno if i want it or not. does no shield make much of a difference as far as aerodynamics is concerned?

idk much about bell's helmets but i hear "bell drop" mentioned all over the fish you should use the search function and see if ya can find anything.

my helmet is the AFX FX-90 and it comes with shield and all brand new. its very inexpensive idk check it out.

EDIT: the afx helmet is Dot approved so its legal to use when riding a motorcycle im sure itll be fine for longboarding.

Pm me If you want mine I ordered two when I got mine, i've now moved to a giro remedy s there lighter, and not as much padding but still enough to suffice.

The Bell Drop is an awesome DH helmet, mountain bike rated for smashing into those guard rails or trees you love to hit so much and it's pretty light and breathable. Also easy to make a face shield for with some 0.032" polycarbonate.

yeah i just heard too much talk about the drop everywhere here also lol

i'm thinking about getting one asap since they are so damn cheap on ebay. does anybody know if that seller always carries them at that price or did i just discover something that might dry up quick?

They go for $60-80 US at most online retailers, I'm not sure how much they're going for in that particular auction but it's a great helmet for pretty darn cheap.

As for the Predator, how're things lookin? Still waiting anxiously to see the finished product!
