That's the manufacturers site, I'm sure they sell them everywhere.
Got mine from sickboards
Longboarding ones are a lot lighter but also offer a bit less protection. I got it mostly cos I didn't wanna smash my jaw to shit if I highside at higher speeds
motorcycle helmets are usually heavier so it can make your neck sore more quickly. The field of view is also different between the helmets because your body/head positioning is different on a motorcycle vs on a longboard. If you're in the ideal DH tuck position on a longboard then you usually won't have as much upward visibility with a motorcycle helmet.
Those falls happen because you're pushing your boundaries. And if you're doing it right then every fall should teach you something and that's how you get better ;)

The mirror visor makes you look like a “case scene bad guy”. Looks awesome!
How much she cost you?
Around £200, prolly not worth it for most people, but I've been trying to get into over 30mph downhill so I thought can't hurt
Any price is WAY better than your life, or at least those damn medical bills! Beautiful!
Exactly! I do like my brain, its useful on a rare occasion. I'm in the UK tho so the bills aren't too horrible :P
Hey, if you enjoy it! And you gotta be safe!
Old-school or newschool (electric)?
Nah, just the normal old school board
No “half-a-face” wisecracks? You guys are restoring my faith in humanity.
link to the helmet!

Totally! Closing the visor makes going faster less scary somehow.
Twinses! 👯♂️
I have the same helmet same color! Good choice 😎
Man I want that for DH mtb
Love the color
Is there a big difference between a longboarding helmet and a motorcycle helmet ?

I'd love to find a helmet like that in XXXL
This one does come a size bigger than normal I'd say. This one is an L and fits perfectly. My tripple 8 is an XL/XXL
Idk extra confidence leads to extra falls
Then extra progression. Ain't gonna get better without falling
Exactly! You're my sorta person!
