Then do it helmet less. If you break the limit they will kick you out but you still did the run.

i'd like to get my money's worth though...maybe i can roll outta the box, granny shift, and run 14's until my last run of the night. someone told me that they might rent out helmets, but wasn't sure.

all you gotta do is write 14.0 on the window on brackets
who cares if you break out...


They aren't very smart when it comes to kicking people out... the lady at the counter will tell you to leave, just say that you "won't break 13's again, I'll just practice 60's". Then just keep going

A do-rag in a "loaner" helmet is like wrapping your **** in a kleenex and thinking you're being "safe" with a dirty crack *****.

bike helmets are not DOT approved. they only have a chra aprroval or something like that. i saw some at walmart for 10 bucks and was tempted.
