looks like a pretty cool concept. anyone tried it? im tempted.

apparently it will make your board a little bit stiffer tho. any ideas?

Also im looking for a helmet, would prefer something i could trust if i ever do nong my head. I like the look of the plain black protec classic and protec ace, and the tsg evolution doesnt seem too bad. Could someone recommend me a good one and where to get it from. Not too sure whats the style. i also noticed that some snowboard helmets are /skate/bmx... would these be suitable or too warm to wear on a hot summery day out skating?

Would appreciate any advice. cheers

jsut go for a skate helmet

Submitted by horny on Thu, 09/09/2010 - 11:11pm.

the protec helmets are great to figure out size jsut measure your head jsut above the ears then look at the measurments. and those ollie matrixs are cool however to me they would seem pointless unless you are using a droped platform deck like a evo for free riding and have to cross curbs heaps because prttey much anything else can jsut go down thme without scraping.

But that my oponion ive never tried them haha

Curb hopper?

DONT DO IT, you need to drill holes in your board and you need to lift the front trucks over the curb first for it to lift the back of the board up.

As fot the helmet i went to a bike shop and got one for $50 and you get to try them on before you buy.
