    I've got a new Bell I bought for one of my kids that was never worn, plus I should be able to come up with a couple used. Get in touch with me at UPR with a shipping address.

    Re: New or used kids helmets

    As a taxpayer, I fear that having BLM providing used helmets, to adults or minors, is leaving me and every taxpaying US citizen in a vunerable position re: liability torts.

    The news recently reported that a Mrs. Sloppy is already suing BLM for $2 million, since she claims BLM victimized her son into losing control while, and after, driving on BLM land.

    Why not try and get a helmet manufacturer or distributor, like Bell and Dennis Kirk, to donate helmets to the program for the pr value?

    And, of course, the Furriers of Lower Arizona (Sonora Norte) have long supported an array of motorsport and community efforts, over 25 years (my own personal experience and observation).
    Hey! You kids!! Get OFF my driveway!!! If you can't go away happy, just go away!

    Re: New or used kids helmets

    Bill, i tried to PM you back again last night but it wouldn't go through because your inbox was at it's limit. TLD Air is a good helmet but ONE has a new helmet on the market called the Gamma which is easily as good if not better because it is Snell 2010 approved and the TLD is only Snell 2005. I suggest trying one on because they tend to run a little on the small side especially if you have a big head. Ivan

    I may have a few, I need to check my storage, but the safety rating will be out of date. Will that matter?
    Funny here un Utah, everytime we ride and see anybody on a quad, they are not wearing a helmet. I think they make them sign a "no helmet" contract when they buy a giant utility quad.

    Re: New or used kids helmets

    I'm in nor cal and not sure how much it would be to mail but I have a kids XS street bike helmet that's brand new but 15+ years old. I just could never see throwing it away and it never fit any of the older kids. NO rating tage (DOT or Snell) on the helmet. If this program or anyone in Nor Cal needs it let me know.
