We're not worried about messing up our hair, so the hairmet need not apply.

This is pretty fucking pointless. Everyone's just drinkin' the h8raide

What would you like to hear? That snowboarding is popular in Jamaica and Burton is releasing a helmet with a pocket for your stash?

Maybe send an email to Ricky Williams asking for advice?

Think like a business owner, you're not exactly a huge demographic here. Nobody's going to take the time to engineer and manufacture a specialty dreadlock-compatible helmet, the demand is nearly nonexistent. The best you're going to get is the largest helmet you can find. Sorry, but that's the reality.

Gee you're so witty! That's like saying snowboarding is popular with Americans so they're releasing a helmet with a bucket to catch all of the blood from murdered Arabs.

Yeah, I'm so glad that snowboarding has become a business that bases it's decisions on demographics. That's keeping it real old school.

Anyway, I noticed Bern helmets come in XXXL (no joke). Check them out.

As for the rest of this drivel, I'll chalk it up to the thin air affecting everyone's intelligence.

As opposed to all those big name businesses who make millions of dollars supplying whatever they want no matter what the actual demand may be? Joe's Random Shit in a Bag Inc. has a nice ring, should sell like hotcakes.

Well then, Mr. Gates, send a letter to Giro and tell them to ramp up their R&D department, develop, test, certify, and retool their factory to produce you a helmet that you can buy at a reasonable price because that's what a hip new school business would do.

So anyway, I just proformed a Smith helmet. Their size larges are up to 63cm, which is very accommodating for my rather thick dreads. They adjust in size too, so I'm at the largest expansion of the adjustments in the back, and should I ever leave the locks, I'd probably be at the smallest adjustment.

Smith Hustle!
