Helmet Hunt

Wednesday, June 3, 2009

I was debating rather I should categorize this as a personal entry or an inspirational post. But after all the creative helmets I stumbled through while searching for one, it's hard to not get inspired by them.

Here's Cody, a familiar face that's been supporting TIZ all along. He's just gotten his new bike.
One could only imagine how many ladies have been falling for that classy-vintage-old school look.
Wipe your mouth.

So far, we know Kevin's definitely attracted.

Jim could never give up a ride.

While everyone's drooling, Cody's hunting for that perfect helmet to match his ride. So as I'm procrastinating on homework, I took the initiative to look for the best fitting helmet. here are some that caught my eyes:

NO.

A creative helmet like hairstyle just ain't going to do it for this.

Aggressive. a bit too rad.

made out of "animal teeth, fangs, bones, and hairs besides fines stones from the Amazon river" by a Brazilian artist. Helmet's going for $100.

How about that futuristic DaftPunk helmet?

maybe in the future.

MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi's flamboyant helmet.

Go big or go coocoo. Designed by Aldo Drudi. It's definitely an eye catcher on the street. For both pedestriants and cops.

Denim?!

Custom by NEXX, going for $200. Many call it "Ass with tight jeans".

Hand painted by the owner - the PacMan helmet.

Attracts the ghosts, too.

Skull.

Then just add a flame here and there to become "ghost rider", no?

Transformer's in.

Alot of geeks would fall for you, too, now, Cody.

Lego.

By designer Sebastian Errazuriz. This is the way to go if you wanted to attract me.

But all jokes aside, I saw these and thought "perfect."

They're the Ateliers Ruby Helmets. "The ’inside garnish’ (to quote Coste) is a soft lining of decadent burgundy nappa lambskin, chosen for its comfort and anti-bacterial properties. Henceforth providing a ’reassuring cocoon’."
