Right, as some of you are aware i enjoy "riding" mountain bikes far to fast down hill (normally into trees).

the time has come to buy a nice shiny new crash helmet, i have sort of narrowed it down to two designs:

Vegas

and Ink

So which one do i go with ? The choice is yours.

well even though they both feature 15 vents and 4 vent channels in dual EPS liner along with Stainless steel D-rings and custom THE rivets and both exceed CPSC and CE standards and have multiple patents pending, i would go with the Vegas. its got dice and will look great with a few branches and a kilo of coarse gravel stuck in it.

Blamski, ref the branches and gravel, have you seen me riding, only you appear very well informed.

The Artist, not MX helmets mate there fr mountain biking, i have a habit of crashing at reasonable speed (25-35 MPH) so i tend to proect myself, however the helmet also needs to be light enough that i can hang it on my bike when riding (pushing) uphill.

Rowdy, thanks for your input i take it the new medication is not working well then ?

The Artist now were talking i would prefer it in Purple mind, gold is a bit showy if you are as shy and retiring as me.

Rowdy your poem was superb i actually reread it the other week it brought a tear to my eye.

Here a poem for you,

Rowdy Rowdy
He is a looney (doesnt rhyme but is the closest i can manage)
He dances in the nudey
And his posts are crudey

Wordsworth had nothing on me !

Well, when I read "Las Vegas" and "Ink" - my first thoughts were definitnely Ink. But once I went to see them, I just really like the colors and pictures better on the Las Vegas one.

And I agree with Blam - with the green stripe it will blend nicely with the surroundings when it meshes with them!

Of course the gold one is nice, too, Artist, but he'd get glass in his eyes when he crashes!

All this talk of me crashing s putting me off riding at all, however i have found the perfect all in one protection :
