goose491 0 #1 January 16, 2003 My folks wanted to buy me a helmet for christmas this year but as they are Whuffo's, my mother gift-wrapped one of her old Equestrian helmets with a note saying I was to pick out the real one and it would be on it's way...... COOL!!!! I decided I want a Bonehead Mindwarp. I've since emailed Bonehead composites and a dealer in Montreal (closest dealer)... no reply. It seems there is nobody at Bonehead either 'cause there be no answer on the phone. Damn! I had a few questions I wanted to ask about the helmet. Anybody have any suggestions on how to get a Helmet to Ontario? My Karma ran over my Dogma!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, they stopped making the "Pimp Daddy" and the pics I've seen of this model have that poor (IMHO) outer audible pocket. I just wanted to make sure I can fit an audible inside the helmet. Also, I wanted someone to describe exaclty how to place the measuring tape (around my head) so as not to get screwed for size. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

CrazyIvan 0 #5 January 16, 2003 Well, the audible pocket is INSIDE now, and it has a elastic band to hold it plus the padding. To measure your melon, place the tape around your head just like a baseball cap, getting the end of the tape on the center of your forehead. I don't know if that's clear.__________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everytime I see one on someone it makes me giggle it's probably because I'm twisted but thats my .02 Agreed. My ultra-custom flamed mindwarp is, of course, the "pimp" variety. I could care less that the audible pocket is outside; the basic shape of the older helmets is FAR superior in my opinion. A perfect Mindwarp would have the older shape with the "pimp" velvet, but either the even older, squared off internal pocket, or the new "teardrop" internal pocket. The "pointy head" look of the newest mindwarps, Optik, and boomerang make me nuts. Chuck "these flames make me go faster" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goose491 0 #13 January 16, 2003 If that's the case, can anyone recommend a helmet similar to the PimpDaddy styled Mindwarp? What does everyone wear? I don't want to buy a used helmet and The audible absolutely has to be inside (I jumped with a friends pimp daddy. Couldn't hear the audible and was scared of getting it slapped off by a riser) My Karma ran over my Dogma!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everytime I see one on someone it makes me giggle it's probably because I'm twisted but thats my .02 I think they look like crap. I have heard ALOT of comments about their new design not being visually pleasing. I'm going to turn my trusty "pimp daddy" into a camera helmet but this means that I will have to find another helmet for the times I don't want to jump a camera, sorry BoneheadOn a side note, and not to say I don't like BH products cause I do think they are well made and dependable, but it seems they are straying away from what the customers seem to want? I remember when they changed to the external audible pocket and hearing alot of rants about it (I think the reason they gave for the change was extra expense). Then they started with their "one size fits none, well maybe one" D-Box, which I have heard alot of people bumming about. Now we got a new total redesign of the Mindwarp with the internal audible pocket back. Again, not bashing BH but just some things I have noticed.

wmw999 2,560 #17 January 16, 2003 Quote What other helmets have the same quality, internal audibles, and a pimpdaddyish look? Well, you COULD get a pro-tec, cover the outside with crushed velvet, and add a feather. Maybe a couple of belt-looking straps across the top, too. Pimp as hell Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

I'll make the crushed velvet a dark purple, the feather sky-blue....And I think this helmet will need a rim and a band of leoppard-print. Cool My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

skybytch 273 #20 January 16, 2003 Quote Then they started with their "one size fits none, well maybe one" D-Box, which I have heard alot of people bumming about. Someone needs to tell the camera manufacturers to quit changing the dimensions of their cameras with every new model upgrade. That'd solve that problem right there. How cost effective do you think it is for a skydiving equipment company to have to redesign their product for each new camera that comes out? Know how much time and effort goes into designing and building a box specific to one camera model? It's not like they're going to sell thousands of boxes for one camera model. Maybe some people should quit "bumming" and try designing, building and marketing a box themselves? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goose491 0 #21 January 16, 2003 Quote Maybe some people should quit "bumming" and try designing, building and marketing a box themselves? This is the way to go really.

Know how much time and effort goes into designing and building a box specific to one camera model? It's not like they're going to sell thousands of boxes for one camera model. I know what is involved in tooling changes and I agree there is not a huge market for these boxes. A different box for each camera model would not be required, they have made boxes that fit several cameras nicely in one box. Quote Maybe some people should quit "bumming" and try designing, building and marketing a box themselves? This would be a good idea, and there are some that are stepping up to the challenge.
