you guys are correct. both me, joe lehm, the owner of timeship racing and dan pape from colabo have been giving feedback, design ideas, and criticism to matt kelly, the owner of predator helmets with his DH skate specific helmet. if you feel you have any design ideas worth sharing, let me know or post something, we are definetly open to listening to ideas from anyone in the skate community.

so are the preditors designed to be used in conjunction with a charly visor or is there gonna be a predator specific visor?

Yes. (nobody likes getting sued)

Can someone clear this up...will Colabo and Predator both be releasing a DH specific helmet? Or will the Predator developed helmet be sold as a Colabo? Or.....

**Colabo Innovations** · 11-17-2009 09:18 PM

The helmet going to be available through Colabo. It will be manufactured by Predator. David Price and Daniel Pape have had a profound impact in the design of the helmet with feedback and advice on how to improve safety, styling and visibility.

**saltun** · 11-19-2009 04:31 AM

How do we able to put our name on a waiting list.......who do we contact?

**abuseboards** · 11-23-2009 01:48 PM

aarh why didnt i see this one earier? i was being told that colabo wouldn't sell these, and today i got my drop which i am going to modify. hoping for the best though!
so far ive sanded it a bit and put a light coat of white on there

**drewdub** · 11-23-2009 03:41 PM

I wanna see how youre helmet turns out.. I'm thinkin about paintin my drop. What color are you paintin it?

You might want to unscrew those things that attach the visor.

**abuseboards** · 11-23-2009 03:46 PM

i want to paint them white aswell

i will prolly make a thread when the helmet is done

i am not sure though, if i should buy myself a visor or make one out of polycarbonate. I'm not super keen on drilling the helmet, so i might try to make some sort of extension on the charly visor, so that i can mount it to the holes that are already there

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!

The Shield is (HJC) CL-33,AC-3" and the mounting hardware (not shown in photo) is "Base Plate set (HJC) CL-33,AC-3". I have not completed the mounting kit install, been busy with work, kids and skating. The sheild was cut to fit the Bell Drop opening w/ a Dremmel tool and is velcro'd inplace tacked in 6 places along the edge/openings. Sealed with one strip of black electrical tape across the top (looks cheesy, I know). It works well enough for now. I am on the list for the now Colabo helmet, gonna be sick.
