[Commander Dilsnikk]

When browsing Farkin I use my pirate hat... it works best for deflecting unintelligible questions.

[LTR]

I own a Protec and a 661! :shock:

[Grip]

or are u hardcore and dont wear one, cheers, phil

Hey... when did they change the spelling of the word "tool"?

[nitwit]

For DJ bell wicked, for DH 661 Bravo FF
Although i think with my crash record, the full face should be on all the time.

[sawtell]

i wear some skate one pryme or something, i dont know its a helment, due for a new one soon its got big cracks in the foam stuff inside!
i personaly think everyone should wear helments, the only time when i dont is on the way to school casue it is 400 metres done a straight road, and it saves the hassle of carrying it around all day.

[Tomas]

For general freeriding. dj'ing and such i use my open face MET helmet. Its really comfortable, not hot at all and hasnt cracked or shown any signs of damage yet.

For DH i use a 661 Full Bravo.

[junior]

DJ, street, DH i use a Limar F105

DH racing Troy Lee Design D2

[shauno]

DJ=Apple
DH=banana

JKS!(obviously...)

I dont know what my DJ helmet is(i dont DJ much anymore though) its some weird one.. but i wear a neti FF for DH and FR :D

[Harder Nox]

DJ and city type stuff i use some sort of open face..
for DH i use a Bell Bellistic FF (soon to be a Protyme Carbon FF)

[Timmy Bee]

isnt the off-topic forum for, and i qoute "Anything non-mtb related..."

but while im here, i were a met something or other for DJ and other random shit, and a mad max II giro for DH. the mad maxs are sick helmets, and if you get them from america its about $100 less than it is here.

[Daver]

For XC, road and DJ i wear some Met XC job that was $100 :( -it does the job, but i'd prefer something cooler. I k=hope to buy/import a giro xen in the near future though. 8)
For DH and posing i have a TLD D2 Hotwheels... in black. :D

Why people pay hundreds of dollars for pimpness of bike parts and really good bikes but use skitty kmart helmets that they bought in year 1-2 :wink: ?

[One Kill]

[jays_5000]

For DH, anything that involves rocks and general mucking around out in the bush my army green Mad Max II..

For Urban, commuting, everything else I use a Specialized Deuce.. They are pimpin', $50 retail... Same as Dylan Tremblay uses in Drop In 1.

the helmet maybe cheap, but it still passes the law for safety requirements

edit* although if it is old(and/or damaged) it maybe a danger :?

[bazza]

met xc helmet for riding around and stuff and a nice new giro mad max II for downhill. it is THE nicest full face. half the price of a tld as well. the bell ballistic helmets are really good as well. cedric and hannah wear one??? but yeah, they are hella comfy as well. so yeah. just find a nice light comfy helmet for dh. dont worry too much about looks. as long as its comfy and sits properly on your head. btw what are limar helmets and how much are they?
