Drop a mellon from 5 feet and see what happens glad you are well like my grandaddy said. wear a helmet before you stick it in her ass or something like that you know I see jonny road guy (no pun) often spinning with out a helmet or the helmet hung on his brakelevers thinking he is cool like 14 mph mellon to the pavement won’t hurt. fucking insane

Word. When I recovered I sent the Helmet to Giro for what I thought was a crash replacement policy, They offered me 10% off retail which was more than the local shop was selling them for. I did make a point to send it to them with the chunk of scalp and hair still in it which might have pissed them off. But big props to the technology today. That fly weight helmet was in a few pieces but the shock was distributed through most of the helmet. Rather than dead I settle for wandering the parking lot looking for my car at walmart every so often I am alive and not eating from a tube because of a Helmet. Word.

I'm just going to describe each instance because I think it's cool that I can actually look back and laugh at this shit. first was a classic rainy day overcooked corner, touch the white line, slide to oblivion. Wrote off, 1 helmet, 1 glove, 1 jersey, 1 pair of glasses, 1 chro-mo chain stay, gained 2 cool pirate scars for my face. Second, learned why you shouldn't bother sprinting out of corners when your four hours into a race that started at 9pm. Wheel washes out in the pine needles, head hits tree root. Rear mech through spokes, Met helmet in three bits, a head ache for the next twenty hours before I can stop riding and go to sleep. Third, chain snap, crotch meets top tube to somersault. Cracked head tube, broken thumb, written off right shifter, dead helmet, festy gash on left arm. Now I see a chiro monthly cause parts of spine have started to fuse and I started doing unintentional impersonation of Batman the neckless wonder. And for the record, I'm not as uncoordinated as my helmet record might suggest. I lasted five-years as a gun messenger without ever having lost time due to an accident on the job, I've finished 6 24hour races in solo class, with only one stack (described above) and I've only snapped one frame in my life (described above) aye, but doesn't the wind feel good in your hair when you forget your helmet.
