or goto your local bike shop...they always have specials

eg today i got my carbon/kevlar MX helmet for 150bucks

basic open face helmets can be had for 80bucks but they are heavy and..... well shit to be honest

or if you want a propper motorsport helmet try revo race gear...but you wont see much change outta 500 bucks.

P.s the visors on MX helmets are removeable

+1, what standard is it that was knocked back?

CAMS helmet requirements are here: http://www.camsmanua...dule_G_Q111.pdf

importantly, it includes the following:

4.8 Moratoriums

(a) There is a moratorium on the implementation of any changes to apparel requirements, save for any identified and pressing safety related requirements which may arise or become evident, for non-international events, until 31 December 2012.

BTW, that is CAMS only. was this WSID or the circuit? If circuit, which event

[UWISSH!]

Was at WSID, helmet standard is as1698, they told me it needs to be as/ nzs 1698/ 2006 or sumthing

[zebra]

I read that as your helmet is over 5 years old and ANDRA are being cocks about older helmets

[GTRKat]

It's been like that for ages and It's all pretty clear on their website:

Helmet Standards approved for Race for Real Off-Street Meetings

Drivers Drivers of vehicles slower than 10.99-seconds (1/4 mile) are permitted to use any helmet (full-face or open- face) meeting one of the following Standards:

• SNELL SA2000, SA2005, SFI 31.2A (USA)

• SNELL M2000, M2005, SFI 41.2A (USA)

• BS 6658-1985

• AS/NZS 1698:2006 or AS/NZS 1698.
