I have an Icon Airform, after owning a TSG Pass and falling at high speed in both helmets the Icon is a world of difference. much nicer landing, holds up to the road much better and is all-in-all just a more protective helmet.

I guess if you ride pretty chill and rarely bail then a TSG is fine, but if youā€™re doing risky shit or pushing limits I donā€™t think any level of protection is ever ā€œtoo muchā€

just donā€™t fallā€¦jk

Couldnt have said it better myself, why get a helmet designed for high speed skateboarding when you can have a helmet designed for high speed motorcycling and by extension much more headroom when it comes to maximum impact energy.

Pretty sure this is @Lee_Wrightā€™s go-to as well, when heā€™s not cosplaying a Stormtrooper.

I donā€™t ride at those speeds almost ever unless Iā€™m skiing, and in that case Iā€™m wearing a FIS certified POC racing helmet with mips

Not yet, was going to try out this weekend. They feel super nice, a bit softer then kendas, maybe they will wear faster. But we shall see

Have to fit all the battery. :joy:

A lot of regrets with this one. 9P would be the first one. 4wd might be the second one.
