Vallerina 2 #1 February 1, 2002 I just got my custom-painted helmet back from my friend Rodman the other day. He painted a skydiving Homer Simpson with a background that matches my stuff. His other helmets looked great, but this one certainly outdoes the rest! I posted a (not so high quality) picture of my brand spankin new helmet for your enjoyment!
