What I've heard (and it makes sense): Almost any helmet will protect you from say a cracked skull but almost no helmet will protect you from a concussion (if you fall hard enough). A bad enough concussion can be very dangerous, but I'd rather at least be protected from cracking my skull. Know that doesn't help much, but thats what I heard.

I go there AT LEAST twice a week, so thats R200 per month. R2400 per year. . . Where do you get this year ticket thingy?

This might be a bit of a hijack, but isn't the R25 getting a bit steep? Does anybody know how much the year ticket (or something like that) is?

You guys make mine look like a piece of sh*t!! Haha, I love it anyway! I'll post another pic tomorrow when it's all back together again.

Lynnwood - East of Hans Strijdom?

Counting Crows - Sullivan Street. . . Listen to that and the world makes sense again!

Ok thanks, will definately have a look at the fox, nice looking too

Isn't money always a problem? Let's put it this way, what upgrade would cost the least but would make the biggest difference? The whole 20/80 principle thingy

Would you still recommend upgrading the fork? Seeing as this is already air?

woa, sorry for the big pic!

Sorry, it's the Tora SL, definately air. My link
