Working on the next Skateboard Heroes story I had to go BMX. Yup, kids on old school dirt bikes, raising hell. It just makes sense, right? Kids on skateboards versus kids on bikes. Could I really have gone in any other direction?

Thing is, I was having a hard time getting good helmets. I wanted old school dirt bike helmets for the photography and modeling, but man, those things are expensive. I mean, I wanted something that looked good, but high end gear like shoei motorcycle helmets was a little priced out of my league.
