I hope thats not the case,... but can someone fill me in,... was there a move already to approach Bell about this idea of putting an extra pair of holes in their helmet??

I think Bell can easily make visors too,... since they make moto helmets as well.
Maybe they dont want to be associated with downhill skateboarding.

Hey Guys, please support Colabo. We need it.

Helmets in the works. Dont waste your time or money.

Is this a new helmet or is it going to be a repainted drop with a charley visor and a decal and if so are you going to fill the original visor holes?

**DPerjar** · 11-05-2009 11:43 PM

I'll gladly take a "repainted drop with a charley visor and a decal".

**Matt C** · 11-06-2009 12:53 AM

**Aaron Breetwor** · 11-06-2009 01:46 AM

I will buy one without question.

**killdozer** · 11-06-2009 01:52 AM

I would buy one as long as the up charge isn't gonna put me in the poor house.

Haha, not as it sits...but a big brand name is hard to beat, Lots of people will buy just because that big C is on it.

I will have my helmet at the Dixie cup tonight and possibly during the weekend and also at the SC push/bomb if anyone wants to see it. (mines a little beat up but I am trying to have a new one done for SC
Feel free to come up and introduce yourself as this is my first event on the eastcoast and would love to meet some people!

I guess it all boilds down to the ColaboBell or this for me

Price range for the ColaboBell?

**Colabo Innovations** · 11-08-2009 12:02 PM

Hey guys, sorry to keep you in the dark. We just want to make sure we get it right this time around and it's a helmet that is here to stay. Send emails to CustomerService@Colabo.ca right away to get your name on the pre-order list. We will keep you informed and up to speed as the process goes forward. It's not that the ColaboBell Drop project wasn't worth doing, it's just too time consuming and us skaters need to support skaters.

We are doing a limited run so please email me right away with pre-orders, unfortunately no pricing yet as it's still in the development stage. First come first serve. No deposits will be taken until the product is totally complete. We think it will be about 300-350. Dont hold that pricing as gospel, the most important thing about this project is to improve the safety for all riders.

Again, sorry for all of you that wasted your time and money buying bell helmets. That was a project simply to create awareness for the sport and to get people thinking outside of the Charly No Limit box. We're glad it went as planned.

PS. we are working as quick as possible

**Whereisnumnum** · 11-08-2009 12:32 PM

are these just bell drops with charly visors

if so ide be better off just getting a drop, painting it if needed, and making a ghetto ass visor for it

**Werd** · 11-08-2009 01:20 PM

my prayers have been answered! I am so glad I held out and didn't buy a charlie. I cannot wait to get my hands on one of these bad chickens.

you should just read what he posted. it helps.

EDIT ok wait, i'm still mulling this over in my head. you're saying that you are scrapping the colabo-bell program and simply designing a whole new helmet by colabo?

Shut the #### up and leave.

You don't even need one so why are you posting in this thread. Have fun with your ghetto ass painting on your helmet (which you don't even know how to do properly, so the fumes might mess with the integrity of the foam), and your ghetto ass visor.

Mr.Pape, they look great and unfortunately I lack the funds to get one, but I'm sure many people will becaue they look extremely slick and probably exceed the safety of a para
