you guys are right there not for everyone but neither are race sleds. We just tried to make a freestyle/freeride helmet that was lighter than 1300 grams. As far as looking like a punk, camo used to be punk rock and now the only people in camo are hicks and guys over forty on mountain sleds which is cool by me. It is a good thing to get youth clothing and youths period into a sport and a lifestyle that I love. AK can set the trends not follow the trends.

If you can do flips, whips, & gaps you can get away with looking like Gomer, which is cool by me. I'm over forty & ride a mountain sled & can't do half of those tricks so I couldn't get away with looking like Pyle, nope, uh uh, I'd be Pyle....... so......maybe that's a good thing.

I think that from a business and marketing standpoint they are a great idea! Granted they might not suit everyone's tastes but it's something different. Other than Klim, who can you name that has come up with something new in regard to the arena of protective headwear design?
The helmet is probably targeted toward the "Generation Y" crowd. They are a tremendous buying force and there is a lot of money to be made. With the addition of sledding to the X games, freestyle sledding is about to explode. Look how much cash the "Metal Mullisha" boys have made off of freestyle moto-x, attitude, and good marketing. I think that Turnagain Hartdcore could have the same potential!
Let the AK boys share in some of the wealth and the fame instead of "golden boy goodie - goodie Levi!
Buy the way, I'm sick of hearing about Levi! ESPN was riding his sack throughout the whole games. He could have ghost rided his sled off that ramp and got more press and credit than anyone else! Kudos to Dane, Corey, Blaze, Thacker, and the AK crew, way to represent!

Just to let you know SNELL M2010 helemts will start selling Oct. 1st.
This is a new SNELL rating that complies with all other race ratings.
May want to wait to see what helmets are newly released in Oct.

Side note..... Just to let everyone know there has been some extensive tests done to prove that some polycarbonate shell helmets actually perform as well if not better than the carbon or kevlar shelled helmets, as the poly shell actually absorbs some of the impact and the carbon/kevlar just transfers some of the energy to the inner shell. Remember any portion of the helmet that slows the transfer of energy to the brain is good.
Just some info, hope this helps....

Ya we should all be exactly the same, wear same helmet, same sno-gear, same sled, same truck, ride at the same time, same place. That would be LEGIT!
