Barrel Roll Nightmears

[Legdragger]

So I had the barrel roll thing going pretty good earlier this year but we had really small surf for a long time this summer then I ate the bars in the face and after that i lost a crank from condensation sitting in the garage. So it has been a while since I was able to get inverted. I realized I am freaking out over eating the bar end again after my personal experience and from seeing Remars eye a few years ago from eating the bars on his barrel roll mishap. I like having teeth and two eyes so to get myself back on the horse I am getting this as a training bra until I am feeling it again.

So get your hockey jokes ready when you see me. My family is from Quebec anyway so it might feel natural having hocky gear on.

Sweet Mellon case!

so does this mean we're gonna see the roll at the rager?:cheer:

 

[guiness92]

Thats pretty sweet Pete. I would wear it with pride if it would help me roll!!!!!!!!

:bigeyes: what if the end of the bars goes through the face mask and gets stuck there :bigeyes:

 

[guiness92]

hmm didnt think of that,. That could be a neckbreaker for sure.

 

[PancakePete]

Awesome Idea Pete... You CHECKED that one right back in place !

Nothing wrong with that! I've eaten my bars pretty good this year. I was looking into lacrosse helmets but didn't want to spend $100+ not knowing whether everything was stainless. Are hocky helmets stainless?

i had considered hockey and lacross helmets also.i have hit my face on the bars twice this year:blackeye:

dont complain, you couldnt have asked for a tougher looking scar...

 

[IceRocket1286]

Man, I dont know how many hockey helmets I have at home. That cage will crumble if your ski decides to stick the pole in your face. Ive had a few slap shots take mine and make it look really nice before

 

[masterblaster]

I think that helmet is a great idea for ya,think id cut out a few of the cross bars though,little better vision and prob still work plenty fine

Mark post up some of the lacross helmets yer talkin about,id like to see them

 

[cookerq62]

Cascade who makes lax helmets also makes some full face white water helmets. Their white water helmet is the same as their lax helmet with diff bolt ons. Their lax helmets weigh next to nothing and have great peripheral vision.

Lax helmets will rust, the bars are rubber coated and just steel. they are comfertable and light though.

i think the choice to look at is kayak helmets. i know some one had one before cause i saw it on here. that way they are made for the water.


heres a ebay one...

only down side is that the bar ends could come through. but i think if you went into the bars face first it would stop it.

 

[ski4]

f it man, who cares what teh helmet looks like
anything to get you back over the hump\

i went out and got a full face thinking that is the cure. bummer is i can't concentrate anymore and just keep reliving the crunch noise i heard when the ski landed on my face.

i am finally just starting to get over being gunshy
good luck man

That is one nice brain basket.

You'll get a nice birds eye view through that bird cage.:biggrin:

I was thinking about sticking some tennis balls on the ends of my bars, that would be cool.



Not.
