I like to keep two helmets around. One that fits my head with a beanie or hat and one that fits without. 🤙
That's the move
Super helpful. Thanks Jake!!!
OMG!!! BIG PROPS 1:37
Yo... Maybe I just interacted with someone having a bad day a few months ago but it feels like there's been a attitude change regarding helmets over at Float Life hq idk, but I do know; I am happy to be a part of this community!! ✌️
a few weeks a go someone died on a onewheel which maybe could've been prevented if he wore a helmet, that might have to do with it a little. in anyway, I appreciate this too.
@@dizzyfloater2019 damn....
@@dizzyfloater2019 damn thats shocking to hear, anymore details or a link perhaps about that tragedy, be good to share it with our UK OW community
No change in attitude at all! Wearing a helmet is never a bad idea and we wear helmets quite often. We also believe in personal responsibility and freedom of choice. If you are ever wondering if you should be wearing a certain piece of protective gear, you probably should.
I'm glad I went into a store to get my bike helmet I got a while ago, since I found that some helmets are more wide/narrow than other helmets. Some of them would be my size (front to back), but they would have way too much space on the sides (which is great for other people with heads that shape). I found one that was my size and was also comfortably snug on the sides for my narrower shaped head. Also has an adjustment dial thingy on the back, which is very ideal (and all the safety features, by law in Australia).
I think it's something one should definitely try on first if possible. Heaps of ways for a particular helmet to just be very unpleasant.
5:37 - That's important. Once a single-use bike/skate helmet is compromised with even a tiny little dent, like from tossing it onto a table too hard or if it drops onto the floor, it's supposed to be replaced. Something even that tiny, actually REALLY compromises it's effectiveness in a crash. I forget what the general percentages were, but it's actually very surprising and concerning. Still better than no helmet, but yea careful with those helmets and how ya treat them.
Personally, I don't feel safe wearing anything less than a three-quarter helmet for 'slow and safe' riding (commuting), and I'd invest in a full face helmet if I were to ever try riding fast, offroad, doing dangerous tricks, or god-forbid, competing with cars for the road. I just don't think a half helmet provides adequate protection in high speed accidents, accidents that involve other vehicles, especially cars, or in rough terrain e.g. rocky forest paths or busy streets.
And I found out that many PEV communities seem to think as well that full-face helmets are the only option worth considering, and the lightest viable option are downhill bike helmets, if you're not going for a motorcycle helmet ;)
In any case, it's interesting how in your opinion helmets don't break in, whereas most people I've heard talking about the subject say that helmets do break in, so they recommend buying helmets that feel too tight at first, and they should within a month or so start to feel 'just perfect', and personally I also experienced something similar. I suppose that must be a difference between skating/bike helmets and motorcycle helmets.
i've had that slam that makes you so thankful you were rocking a helmet once on my snowboard when i was learning a while back and then once about a year ago when i bought my pint (lol i bought an xr about two months after that but the pint is still super fun). this video got me thinking i should upgrade both my snow and skate helmet as they are both ill fitting.
Not a bad idea!
I'm one of the lucky ones. My Triple 8 fits perfectly without an adjuster. I do wish I could afford the Gotham with MIPS liner that you have in this video though.
I bought a triple 8 sweat saver certified l xl and the amount of pressure felt above the ears was uncomfortable, even though the helmet fit. Therefore I decided to return it for an xl xxl after watching this video.
Important to notice that for triple 8 sweat saver helmets they come with two size of internal cushions thicc and slim so I am pretty sure this new one xl xxl will fit :)
As usual, great episode professor. Most informative and concise, and imho it is so important for people to realize, there is a reason you hit your head. Find out what it is. Take responsibility. Just so well said. Thank you. aoxomoxoa
I’ve found that my hockey helmet works amazingly with riding and falls👌👌 though expensive, I already have one that fits perfectly
Background looks like my hood off Broadway n Sac. Thanks for the FYI.
It is!
@@TheFloatLife yassss
not a single one of my helmets stay on when i put my head down while its unbuckled, is that because its not buckled because even the most locked in one i have doesnt fit apparently
I think you missed an important factor. A helmet should also help you be seen. Drivers of cars aren't expecting a one wheel to be floating around. I use an obnoxious yellow helmet and They see me. It's not a fashion show to be cool, it's an important safety tool. Ooo, that rhymed.
You are right, brighter color helmets are definitely more safe in traffic. But if you're trying to get people to wear helmets, you have to realize that the most common objection is fashion.
Personally, I think the color of the helmet isn't that important - it's perfectly ok to pick a color you like or a helmet with a printed pattern that simply looks cool. What is important for being seen is reflective materials and lights, that will do much more for your safety than a yellow-but-not-reflective helmet. The difference is most obvious at night - in darkness, it doesn't matter how brightly colored your helmet is, if there's no light illuminating it. So, for visibility I tend to wear a safety hi-vis vest, reflective stripes on my arms (turn signaling!), and bike lights (I usually commute with a kick-scooter, so the front light is on the handlebar, while the rear light is on my backpack, though for PEVs without a handlebar I would attach the front light to the helmet). Another great option (can look aweseme!) are LED strips on your backpack. That actually makes you fairly visible in most circumstances (though you should still assume car drivers never see you coming), and it allows you to pick your clothing colors and accessories based on fashion and preference. Great option for people who like to dress all-black and be PEV ninjas. With my approach, you just dress all black, wear hi-vis on top, and you can enjoy being a ninja without sacrificing your safety.
The elastic would actually wear out pretty quickly like underwear.

Helmets make you look cool 😎 sk8on
And next week kids were going to learn to tie our laces.
Thank you & God bless you! May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. May the rain fall softly on your fields, and until we meet again, in this life or the next, may God hold you in the hollow of His hand. May you ride in the shadow of His wings and forever be the apple of His eye. May everyone you meet be blessed by you; and, may the Lord God bless you doubly in return.
May He bless you. May He keep you. May He lift up His countenance towards you. May He make His face shine upon you. May the Lord be always and ever gracious to you. May the Lord God give you peace.
By the grace of God and our Lord Jesus the Christ, may you live a life of virtue; such that you may obtain felicity in this life and the next, in whose name I pray this humble, imperfect, unworthy prayer for you, your family & friends.
All the best to you and yours from all of us in the Agapé church of God in Christ,
Rev
I got the helmet in this video hopefully it'll keep me from becoming a vegetable
A helmet fit video seems little comical coming from someone who doesn’t wear a helmet in almost every video I’ve seen him do- which seems very irresponsible for a role model and instructor. Include as well the producers of this channel.
