Title: Thought this was cool... any thoughts?
Post by: Adamm0621 on January 02, 2010, 03:01:03 PM
I've been reading through a lot of the posts recently and came across someone talking about a Lego face shield for their helmet.  That piqued my interest and I began searching the web until I found a photo of said Lego Face shield.

I'd never seen where you could ad a graphic that wouldn't severely obstruct your vision (except on the sides of buses).  That made me wonder what other designs might be out there.  That's when I stumbled upon this site...

I knew this should have been in the gear section...  Sorry.

Thanks for the link.

Here's one of the threads about the lego graphic:

Let say you HAD to slide down the road on your head for some reason...

Do you want something on your helmet that may prevent it from sliding smoothly?

I haven't bought one, but I think that whatever they're made of would shred on the pavement long before you felt any sort of negative from it, i.e. snagging and getting your head whipped back.

I'm pretty sure that graphic would last about 1/2 a second on asphalt...

thats pretty generous, im sure it would just tear the make the beast with two backs open the second it hit. think about what happens to jeans and t shirts when you go down. They slide smoothly....with your skin hanging out.
