Re: Icon Gear


I crashed wearing ICON. Their textile pants shredded and since they aren't padded, the only padding I had was the skin between the pavement and my bones, so I bruised pretty bad. The ICON mainframe helmet hit the pavement too but held up perfectly. The shell didn't crack and the softer inside padding did it's job to keep me from a concussion. The face shield and vents were destroyed but who really cares about that stuff when you're asphalt surfing.

I don't know whether a better helmet would have helped or not. I just know the one I had worked and I replaced it with another.
