Yeah I've been looking for one but its hard to find since my head is fairly large. A size 8 new era 5950 hat is tight on my head. I was wanting more of a bmx style helmet but haven't been able to find one yet. I really want one like the urge endur-o-matic but I don't think it will fit. Any suggestions?

Laser makes an XL, its says up to 61cm. I am a 7 7/8 and measure 59. Could be close. My head is also an oblong and Laser makes an oblong helmet.

Found a Fox that goes to 64 CM. Colors are too wild for an old hippie like me! Looks disco.

look at POC helmets. Super comfy and come in big sizes. Also they have that BMXish style you speak of.

HERE

60 bucks, many colors. XXL is up to 62cm.

I like the video by the way. Having fun in the woods is rad, just want you to be covered. Daspydyr hit his head pretty hard a while back and i'm sure he is thankful for his helmet.

Thanks guys. I really like the Fox helmet in the white/black color. And yeah I got a concussion from slamming on the street about 5 years ago, so I know I need one.

9 days in ICU and that was with a helmet. YES, this is still a shameless plug for sympathy! And a real plea for helmets for everyone. BUT dang I must stop chatting, the OP said videos only! must shut up.

If it sounds like somebody used their helmet, you are correct.

Footage from this year's Double-Down Hoedown at Spokane's Beacon last weekend. I wasn't there but it looked like a great weekend. 'Pro-only' got lifted from Girthmore and it was part of the Pro/Cat 1 course. Nutz.

If a rider crashes in the wild and no one is conscious to hear it, is a sound made?

BEER COOLER, wow, the dog will be glad to get the Aluminum dish back.

Nope, platforms for trials. Pause the video at 0:13.

I mean I know you can bunny hop without clips. I can do it. But...to that extent. It's just crazy to me, in a good way.

It's naive and that is nothing to be proud of, expand your horizons... Start small and try some of the crap you see in these videos out, they're not just bits of wonderment produced by cycling gods and magicians. Good luck!

If you understand the mechanics it makes perfect sense. Getting your body to execute those mechanics is the tricky bit.

Rather strongly worded toward someone just because they're amazed by some amazing riding. Obviously anything that anyone can accomplish is possible and therefore comprehend-able, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't think it's amazing and "crazy."
