Now thats what I wanted to see...VERY nice!!

Kelly, Jeff..Thanks!!!

Owners of tie-dye rigs unite...here's your opportunity to display your works of art. Thanks Kelly, Jeff, etc... at Velocity for a GREAT looking Infinity. Picasso, Rembrandt, Da Vinci ..would be proud. Looking forward to seeing other manufacturers works of art also.

Just my opinion as a thread lurker...Excellent question/concern (always ask why) and excellent responses...kudos...I'm always up for learning..heck sometimes your life may just depend on the questions you ask!

Thanks Mark..profile updated..interesting similarities...

I posted a similar comment in "post your infinity" thread but appropriate here...Received PERSONAL call from Kelly today letting me know my rig was done..we chatted etc.. Kelly and Jeff, GREAT customer service. P.S. TURNAROUND TIME FROM ORDER TO SHIPMENT (WITH CUSTOM TIE-DYE).....MAYBE A MONTH!!!!! NICE.....

Kelly, thanks for the PERSONAL phone call today to let me know my rig is done (it's that personal touch that sets you guys apart!). Also thanks go out to Jeff for all his help with the tie-dye pattern. Look forward to posting a picture to show your creative endeavor.

I bought an EVO last year. Decided later to purchase camera gear and bought a PC9 and Cookiecomposites helmet and D-box. Main reason was that I thought the EVO was a little more "flexible" in construction than I wanted for mounting a camera. Second reason was I wanted a second helmet (the EVO) to jump without the camera mount. That said I really, really do like my EVO...but in comparing it to the "rigidity" of a bonehead, my MX2, etc... I just thought it was more flexible than I wanted for mounting a camera. All that being said I was initially considering using the EVO as my helmet camera and...with the minor reason given above.. see no reason why it would not be fine. It has the "flat" side so...personal preference I guess. Just my 2C worth.

1) nice helmet-job 2) why the hell the poll??...just kidding again..too funny..

Masher, the whole set-up (excluding the PC9 of course) is from Cookie Composites. Couple of notes: Jumped the set-up for the first time yesterday...yea, finally got a break in the Ohio weather. Observations: 1) Helmet is the new MXV. fit/comfort is unbelievable... perfect. 2) I really like the chin-cup design the way the ratchet tongue "end" slides into the cup vs. being exposed. (comes standard no charge with the helmet) 3) the internal audible pocket (with the slight bulge like the bonehead) is great (can't even feel the audible) (currently using a pro-track). 4) I like the semi-flat top if I do decide to intall a still camera. 5) I like the flat left side of the helmet designed to accomodate a D-box..totally flush contact with a D-box (reduced line snag potential?) 6) I REALLY like the D-box... outside shell hinged at the top, fixed machine screw to the bottom of the "inner" box that screws to the cameras tripod thread hole (camera is "bolted" to the helmet (at least to the fixed inner box). Overall really nice set-up. (I am having the d-box holes in the helmet grooved so that I can adjust the angle of the box...RW and freefly angle adjustable). NOTE.. . Jason Cook the owner (hi dad) is NOT my father.(sarcasm...cookie composites is in Australia) I just really like the design. Eric (phree), follow-up with the version 2.1 quick release system for the strap(s). Jason, if your out there, also design something you can add as a quick release strap accessory and continue to promote safety. (which leads back to my original post question)

Come on Eric, hurry up with the 2.1 version post already!!! Just kidding.

Phree, thanks for the advise and the EXCELLENT thread link..some great information...

Revjim, photos of chincup release. The other side of the chincup is fixed/permanent. I"m leaning towards re-attaching the standard chinstrap also but just a little concerned that without a quick release I would have to deal with TWO straps to ditch it in an emergency.

Thanks Linestretch....mainly wondering if most of you have the second chinstrap attached IN ADDITION to the chincup...I can see positives and negatives of each...Just curious about personal opinions of why JUST the chincup or BOTH the chincup and chinstrap and why. Photo of helmet and chincup/chinstrap design attached with first post.

Santa, thanks for the new toys! I'm debating the "safety" pros and cons of just going with the chincup (able to ditch quickly if needed) or also re-attaching the standard chinstrap along with the chincup (in case the chincup strap gets unbuckled somehow). Any words of wisdom from you or Rudolph? Any personal bad experiences using either set-up?
