Ya im thinking I should replace my helmet but the 'crash replacement program' only brings the cost of a a replacement to $80 (giro 9). I could get a new Bad lietenit for that. Rex... how often do you replace helmets after crashes if there is no cracks that are visible ?

yeah it could be my helmet, I'll probably get a better one next season- right now I' have a cracked giro 9 with all the vent plugs missing and one of the earflaps missing... haha I am such a douche I lose everything. But I still think there's nothing better than just wearing a nice cozy beanie.

I actually don't really replace my helmets, the beauty of my 'W' Helmet is that it's made with Zorbium foam which is a multi impact reboundable foam. Most helmets once they've taken one good hit they're no good anymore. In theory you should be replacing your helmet after everytime that you hit it. the Zorbium foam rebounds after an impact and maintains the same integrity as it had before the impact. So in short, save yourself the trouble of worrying about it, and buy a 'W' helmet.

(not just a sales pitch it's the truth)

i'm really used to mine, so theres no reason to not wear one.
plus they give u a sense of security
on a side note, rex is a very good role model huh?

I know someone who hit a tree and the helmet actually broke in half. He wasn't really going that fast, he was just skiing on the side of the trail, outside where the cat grooms.
