Thinking of getting a helmet as I'll be riding my BMX to work. The Polystyrene loafs that people strap to their heads are not my style at all. I know for Dirt racing BMX helmets
(http://www.wiggle.co.uk/v2_product_detail.asp?ProdID=5360010408)
look similar to Motocross helmets so...
...would it be stoopid to just go all out and actually get a Helmet designed for Motorbikes? (http://www.bikersclothing.co.uk/products/n500v.shtml)
I'm thinking they're designed to take hella impact, I'd certainly trust it over a Poly loaf, I'm not too concerned with image (As most people look at BMX'rs as adults on kids bikes anyway.) and there isn't a big difference in cost.
Thoughts people?...
