SuperSport Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Greg Spalding said: I love this helmet, but I was thinking as I was looking at it... If somehow you fell face first because of the typical chin protection of a motocross helmet you could easily have a horrendous hyperextension injury of the neck, which could lead to a significant bit of spinal cord trauma. I'd have to think about it a little bit because a hyper flexion injury is for more dangerous, but I'm not so sure about this particular helmet though it is one of the coolest I've ever seen and I appreciate you including the link here. True, but this helmet also includes MIPS technology to help resolve that. MIPS allows your head to rotate inside the helmet so as to make the strain to your head and neck less. These are considered Down Hill Motocross helmets, so I'm guessing they are pretty safe. MIPS TECH Explained: http://www.mipsprotection.com/technology/ PS: The chin guard is removable if desired.

That is extremely impressive will you get one? It will be quite the "LOOK" while riding and EUC.... ____________________________________________ i have a lot of motorcycle helmets.... all of which i wear XL with my large-sized head.... And I see this helmet only comes small, medium, and large.. I hope the large will be big enough, but there's only one way to find out Edited November 3, 2016 by Greg Spalding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure yet if I'll buy one yet. PS: I'm sorry for hijacking this thread again with helmet stuff. :-/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerbera Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) While we are on helmets, for anyone like me who is up for full visor-down motorcycle helm action, then you will run into the fogging up problem. Particularly unhelpful on cold misty days. This will drive you mad until you address it. I fixed it in one easy (though slightly expensive) move with these Oxford Fog city inserts, which work well, and mean you don't have to be fiddling about reapplying any sort of de-fog spray or wax.

And I must be stupid because I don't see anything stupid about it. Now I'm a little disappointed because you missed the perfect opportunity to point the blower behind you to give a little added thrust :-) You could even post that on a non-EUC thread and people would think "that's cool!"

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) @Duf I wonder whether it would be easier to learn on the Ninebot One E+. I learned riding a 14" generic, and it was extremely difficult I found. The Ninebot with its heavier mass seems to make things easier during launches since it doesn't tend to tip over as much. In any case, I would recommend padding either wheel up for both the rider and wheel's protection. @Rehab1 that leaf blower while riding makes fall cleanup look fun for once! Great idea and nice demo of the DJI Osmo. I had thought you were filming with the Mavic. Geez you got all the toys! You just need an Msuper Euc Extreme Modded V3 to complete your collection!

Popular Post Rehab1 Posted November 6, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) Mavic lost track of me today. It appears the traffic sign was more interesting @ 59 seconds into the ride..Mavic immediately went into safe hover mode. At 1:42 it flew back to my truck embarrassed Edited November 6, 2016 by Rehab1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Backe Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 2 hours ago, SuperSport said: Interesting. I can see how that may help. I only wonder if you increase the likelihood of scraping the pedal in a tight turn, which I think the original orientation is designed to prevent. I agree about going up hills with the MSuper. This makes me wonder if that's why the level calibration from the factory (on mine and a few others at least) has a noticeable back tilt. I'm going to be riding some steep mountain trails tomorrow - I think I'll re-calibrate just prior to the run. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
