: When I control my wipe out in a skate park by falling to all 4 knee and elbow pads and slide out (often spinning) across the bottom of the ramp or bowl. It is almost as fun as a good run!
Sounds familiar to me, like I've had that before, too.
I also enjoy rolling around sideways in a bail. Anything just to break the fall instead of my bones. ;)
: I'm using a triple 8 helmet now, and it took a hard slam for me just last week. I saw stars for a split second, but my head never did hurt afterward. The newer padding in triple eights even has cloth covering which is really comfortable. I'm up to about 3 knockouts, with at least 10 other times of having my helmet take a blow for my head. All my helmets have the scrape marks to prove it.

: I was looking at some Bern helmets the other day, and I'm thinking I might want to try one of those next. They have a really solid styrofoam layer throughout the entire helmet, topped with a foam padding. Looks like it might absorb shock really well and it is well vented. Anyone have any experience with them??
Sorry, but no, I haven't even heard of them before. What makes them stand so apart?
Guess I'll have to google some pics...
