Here in the states we take helmets/brain damage and taxpayer money very serious due to the fact that
every tax dollar that's used for medical care of someone who was involved in an accident is a dollar
that could be used to support some deadbeat white trash welfare recipient.

Not to mention stairs, everyone should think of their social responsiblity and wear DH body armor at
all times.

Ouch!

The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give
an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

I wear a Giro Ravine helmet for skiing and considered using it for very cold temps riding. I would
think it would work very well. Keeps my head toasty and with good ventilation too. It might look a
little weird, but hey a person riding a bike in sub zero C weather isn't?

some really goos suggestions here: http://www.enteract.com/~icebike/Clothing/handprotection.htm

I use and highly endorse Specialized 02 Sub Zero Gloves

http://www.specialized.com/SBCEqProduct.jsp?section=12762&browselevel=gloves&JServSessionIdroot=yu9-
qfrcyb2.j27002

IMO, they are better than the 03 as they have a more flared gauntlet to facilitate easy donning and
removal. the also have patches of highly reflective material on the first two fingers.... uite
bright stuff to help be seen at night. notice the brightness of the fingers from the flash of the
photographers camera:

The 03's are nice in that the are a seperate shell and liner, so if you dont mind tugging them on
and off they may be a better glove for you

Skateboard helmet... "just enough" vetilation for all but the coldest days.

Well, I got in a couple of nice hammer sessions this weekend. Felt good, really good. Man is it ever
fun to carve it up on the lean, mean SS!

Despite December on the calendar, the weather is saying May or September. It's been 50+ in the
afternoon. The El Nino oven/dehumidifier appears to be kicking in.

Dirt's up dude!

Duuuude, I always wear full DH body armor when riding down stairs!

Darth - Socially responsible, ok maybe not acceptable but responsible!
 
The snow was here on Wednesday and gone on Saturday. All due to warm temps and some rain on Friday
into Saturday. I did get some play time on Wednesday in the snow. Winter isn't over yet its only
just begun. So get out and have fun.

If by by "people" you mean mindless e-tarded drones on the internet or zombie LDSers, you're right.

i wasn't sure if that furry looking thing on top of your head was a helmet or an attacking,
scalp-munching otter. ?s
