just thought i'd throw this in, i'm sure someone else is gonna say the same..if you already know this then just ignore me.
unless you're very sure of your skill level, and KNOW that you won't be taking too many hard falls w/ this new helmet you're buying, then i guess it's ok to get a longtail..however, if you're relatively inexperienced and are still learning and taking falls, you shouldn't get a longtail. the reason being is that it's been basically proven that they're unsafe in big falls. the tail makes it unsafe because if you take fall the wrong way, the tail could hit the ground in the wrong way and cause you to twist your neck..there's been a couple accidents with longtail helmets, so just bear that in mind.

good luck!
by basically proven you mean not proven at all, right? heresay and circumstantial evidence /= proof.
