Deuce 1 #1 August 13, 2004 OK, every now and again I look in my locker and say, "JP, you have EVERYTHING. Stop looking in the gear magazines." and I follow my advice. Until yesterday I, in fact, had it all. Jay Stokes is at my DZ grinding three of my best friends through the AFF-I course and while catching up with him about what he's done since grinding me up back in May, he shows me this helmet. F*cker. The new Illusion helmet is completely and utterly badass. A very nice lighter alternative to my FTP when I don't need to do the whole flash/battery thing. Just about all the protection of a FTP, but in a lighter sidemount. Crap. And congratulations, that is a very, very nice design. Nice top deck real estate without being just too damn big. Argh.

turtlespeed 226 #3 August 13, 2004 Me too, JP - I saw this "new and better" helmet and am looking to see if I can sell something.Sigh I have been wanting a side mount. . . - Now I have no excuse - well, xcept the money thing.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ltdiver 3 #4 August 13, 2004 Nah, Deuce! Just think of it looking like a mindwarp with a pimple on top. That vision should help you curb the desire. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 1 #5 August 13, 2004 QuoteGear lust is a terrible affliction Deuce. What colours do they come in? Jay's is just the carbon fibre finish, but they do wicked cool paint jobs too, like the one on SkymonkyONE's. As to the mindwarp pimple thing, I'd like to have that work, but I tried the damn thing on. And I know better. NEVER demo something you don't have the money to buy. Hey NacMac? It's "colors". Spread the word, huh? Seems like just about everybody over there is getting that one wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
