It's time for a new helmet and I'm wondering what brands/models people have found comfortable and practical for bocking?

Thanks

Any skateboarding/bmxing helmet will do you fine, Ribcaps are also very good but you may not be able to afford one Lips Sealed

Just don't get a bike helmet since they are only designed to hold up to one impact.

u can by my ribcap ,red , £60
Considering they are only £65 brand new including postage adam, I don't think you will be able to sell it for £60. Does the £60 include postage?
You may have to knock £10-20 off that price to sell it Undecided

i think that all you need is a skate helmet, just about anything should do, just make sure that the outside isnt foam.

of all the pads, the only ones that really seem necessary to me is the helmet. but even then , when you fall you hardly ever hit your head. one time when i fell, a lady congradulated me because, "everything else you can replace, you are protecting the only part that you really need"

i fessed up the money for a ribcap, mainly because its the only way to keep my mom from yelling at me for not wearing a helmet.

I have 2 helmets and never wear them now, I used to when I wasn't so confident on my bocks. I will probably only wear it again once I progress to flipping on tarmac

another idea ..... should you not like bulky helmets...
and they will give you some protection (better than none) ...and loads more ventilation...
are the rugby scrum caps.... they are light... and some look quite cool....
they range from £10 to £50.... i am considering getting one...
as i'm not keen on jumping high on concrete yet...hmnnnn...
