i hope so because i dont feel like wrecking my €400 helmet will use the €30 motor cross helmet i used last year

[Alan B.]

sorry that was ment to say they aren't eu stamped and thats prob why they are only 35 i gave 400 for a helmet one time and i well prob end up using that one this year becaust my motor cross one prod wont do

i hope so because i dont feel like wrecking my €400 helmet will use the €30 motor cross helmet i used last year

why did you spend 400quid on your helmet if you're not going to wear it when you need it?

i could be wrong but that sounds stupid.

yeah i agree if i could afford a 400 lid i wouldn't be leaving it sitting there to gather dust while i wore a cheap one

[gem-s13]

them lids will be grand no point spending over a 100euro on a lid to wear inside a car!! back when i raced bikes i paid 350euro on a gold stamped vemar helmet went out on the bike 3rd lap i hit a jump flat(not recomended) over jumped it landed on the flat hit my face off the handle bars broke the front off the helmet and burst my teeth out trough my lip!! 350euro and that happend if it was 35 euro piss pot the same thing would have happend so ill be buying one as a spare!!

was told at loggin last week no way a lidl or aldi helmet was good enough :-(
this year they are goin to be strict on the regs for helmets lads so dont waste the 35e cause that helmet wont pass scrutiny!
below is regs copied from Prodrift!


Certified Helmet (Full face only)
FIA8860-2004
Snell Memorial Foundation – SA95, SA2000, SA2005
SFI Foundation – Spec 31.2, Spec 31.1A, Spec 31.2A
British Helmet Standard – BS6658 Type A/FR, BS6658-85 Type A

i'd be ringing to see if an ECE 2205 Standard helmet will pass, not if a lidl helmet will pass.
cant see why a european standard wont be good enough when a british one is?
not to mention that the ECE standard is more stringant then the 2010 snell standard as thats an american standard and their helmets dont need to witstand as high an impact force to pass as the helmets in the ECE standard.

where it came from or how much it cost shouldnt matter a fuck.

exactly, because the names lidl/aldi are mentioned people think its to a shit standard because they are so cheap... thay are cheap because they are bought in a fucking mahoooooooosive bulk!

ask PD about the stadard code and not the name and i bet it would pass.

and as for full face only, thats bull shit, thay can try enforce FIA standards but even WRC drivers use open face helmets
