i took the manta out last night for a little bit while the tide was coming in.
got kinof slamed, :wow: i keep telling myself it is time to step it up but with out a helmet i allways back down and stick to the basics
so now i would like a bit of info on a helmet,
i will be using it for buggy jumping, mountain board, and snow kiting. any suggestions on the best all around full face helmet.:shocked2::shocked2::shocked2::shocked2:

Must have been some riding with that 12m in those 20+ mph winds we were having last night.

As far as a helmet, like anything else, cost is a factor and you usually get what you pay for. Those paraglider full face helmets are pretty sweet. I've also seen at Freddie's a pretty decent full face bmx helmet at a pretty decent price.

20+ not untill after 9:00 it started to get gusty and i got slamed so i packed up, only 20 or 30 min of riding

did you join eli with a buggy sesh yesterday jim

I didn't get a chance to join in but I was there for a short time. They were all having a blast though. Eli giving some hairy tandem rides. Paragliders pushing the wind envelope. Blokarts and people learning how to fly (very smalls kites needless to say).

i think i am just going to go thru discover paragliding, do you know how much they want for one.

Motocross helmets are super safe for kite use. Or a nice BMX helmet would work as well. Price shouldn't be a driving force when buying a helmet. The cost of an expensive helmet is less than one emergency room visit for a head injury.

Whatever helmet you get make sure it has vents. They can get very hot inside. I have a bmx full face and a skate board helmet.

My paragliding helmet cost me $225 for a Charly Insider
