About This Item

Helmets

1.       One crash kills most helmets. That Styrofoam layer between the shell and your head is your best friend. The expanded polystyrene (Styrofoam) crushes under impact to give your head approximately 6/100ths of a second extra stopping time. That 6/100ths of a second can be the difference between you getting back up and riding off and having to relearn the alphabet. The foam also distributes the point of impact over a larger area.

 

2.       Proper Fit

Your helmet should neither dig into your scalp nor flop around. The better the fit the more protection you will have. To ensure proper adjustment start with the interior pads. Most are held in place with adhesive or hook and loop strips, which can be added or removed to customize fit or to wash when they get dirty. Next adjust the straps so that each V-buckle is positioned right below your ears, then cinch the main buckle so two fingers barely fit between your chin and the strap. To make sure the helmet is fitting correctly push the front of your helmet up. If it moves more than 1 inch, tighten the chin straps. Repeat with the back adjustment.

    We just had to take the nerd coin with us to this cache that kungfuhippie put out to honor his new baby and the thread stealers who awaited the arrival with almost as much intensity. With zoesbrother being a major thread stealer, we figure that the nerd coin is at least an honorary one.

    As we made our way home at the end of this road trip, we thought the nerd coin would like to visit a cache that its owner had placed near where the coin will eventually end up soon. ZoeBro... This one's for you!

    A North Dakota cache for the nerd coin. Just another couple of days left to the trip. Great overlook area of the North Dakota Badlands, rest stop and all. Beautiful colors against the bright blue sky.

    We were finally out of Yellowstone and back on the interstate, but we stopped at a Montana rest stop to let the nerd coin visit a cache in this part of the state. We kept the coin away from the areas that warned of possible rattlesnakes!

    Visited 8/20/2011 sandlanders took it to That's not a rock! Wyoming - 36.04 miles  Visit Log

    This was our last cache in Yellowstone Park. The nerd coin got to learn about how petrified wood was formed here. The coin also found out how colorful petrified would can be, but not as colorful as the glittery teal of the nerd coin!

    Visited 8/19/2011 sandlanders took it to 1/5th the World Geysers in a Square Mile Wyoming - 4.29 miles  Visit Log

    The nerd coin got to see many geysers, hot springs, bubbling pools, and steaming vents in this part of Yellowstone. We walked Geyser Hill in the Upper Geyser Basin (where Old Faithful is and where we were staying), then headed off to our cabin at Old Faithful Lodge for the last night of our visit to the park.
