Several people have asked about my helmet recently. I thought I'd post a
link for those interested in more info and/or buying one just FYI.

It's a Bell Qualifier Pro and designed for downhill mountain bike racers. I realize
a lot of people are not too keen on the bicycle helmet idea, but
these helmets are much more substantial than most bike helmets. It weighs
20 oz. and has great ventilation. They retail for $90 but I bought one from Oshman's
for less then half that. A web link follows...

In the Search For: box on the upper left enter "qualifier" and click Go.
This should give you a list showing all colors and sizes available.

No, mine is the open-face Bell Qualifier Pro. Use the link I posted if you want
to see it.

Looks like just the ticket for riding around my property doing low speed
trials type riding. I bought one off the site you linked.
Thanks,

Incredible deal. I just got mine in the mail. Ordered it on Monday. It's
a great helmet. The venting and fiberglass shell are the big benefits.

It's alot heavier than they advertise though. Mine weights 29.6 oz. It's
still really light but not anywhere near 20 oz.
