“INVISIBLE HELMET” #realtalk

Posted on August 21, 2012 by admin

Now when I first saw this I could not decide if it was fake or real. I think until the day I see these items in person and for sale I can not trust that this is for real. The concept is very creative although it may a bit cumbersome to wear a neck piece like that in hot climates even opposed to wearing a helmet. I wish these airbags were also installed in the helmets we ride with today however we may see those too in the near future. Now there is rumor that these have gone for sale already in Europe but I can not find any info on that to back it up. No matter what these helmets are super sick but what would happen if you hit something with sharp edge … will that puncture these “invisible helmets” and cause them to fail ? Or will the inflation of a bag full of air be enough to prevent head trauma or even pressure that may be applied to your head following a crash or even worse multiple impacts ? ….. I guess I need more proof of these being safe or real. #realtalk

These helmets are for sale here at this website called HOVDING. Thanks to Antonyo Wothe for finding out where to get these INVISIBLE HELMETS.

Mashafix.com presents – WEAR A HELMET

Posted on March 12, 2012 by admin

Now this is something I am sure many of you out there never ever expect to have happen to you, but the reality of it is that no body and I mean NO BODY EVER PLANS on stuff like this to happen. This footage was taken yesterday during a Sunday bike ride with a good friend of mine. We were approaching the intersection at a speed of at least 20mph + when a car who was supposed to yield to on coming traffic decided to turn and hesitate causing my friend to do his best to avoid her while also not going left into on coming traffic. The end result was definitely painful I can tell you that and my friend promised me to get a helmet after this. He walked away from this with some road rash to his face and a gash on his hand from going threw her back passenger window. In this case he is fortunate to walk away with minor injuries. As for his bike …… well let’s just say he is going to be needed a new bike as well hahahhaha !!! So I hope many of you out there realize weather your are mashing threw traffic or doing tricks that anything can happen and its not always about “LOOKING COOL” …. trust me you will look a whole lot “COOLER” with your brains inside your head. #YOUKNOWWAZGOOD

GET A HELMET

Posted on March 2, 2012 by admin

PLEASE REMEMBER …. YOU CAN NOT RIDE YOUR BIKE IF YOU HAVE BRAIN DAMAGE ….. OR IF YOUR BRAIN IS NOT IN YOUR SKULL…. THINK ABOUT IT ! I know that wearing a helmet may not be the “COOLEST” thing, but I do promise that it will save your life. Weather you are tricking or just riding fast be sure to wear one and if you do wear one please wear it correctly. I can tell you from personal experience that its the smart thing to do. I have shattered 2 helmets and woken up in the hospital after being hit by a car leaving me with my eye busted open and my teeth threw my upper lip…. NOT FUN ! ….ps… THANKS CANDACE FOR POSTING UP THIS PIC !!
