Thrasher helmet

Hey guys, me again with another helmet, this time I took a DA props/shed of glittering delight HDPE helmet and build it to be a "Move along" helmet which has seen quite a lot of action in the sandy dunes of Tatooine. So this is more like a fun side project, not completely on SWAT level.;) I have just emphasized the  typical characteristic elements of this specific helmet, exaggerating the sleepy-eyes-look of this iconic helmet and enlarging the cracks where the original HDPE is showing.

Because it looks quite worn-down, I have called it "The Thrasher", a tribute to my favourite Skateboard Mag.

I´m even thinking about wearing it while skating once.:sweat: It will definitely stand the thrashin´it would take, very sturdy helmets, those DA HDPE helmets.

So here are some pics (many of them show the helmet next to my self-built RS helmet for reference):

I just love working on HDPE helmets, so much fun...

And here´s a pic of me wearing it at the last event I participated in:

Nice work, bro! Looks stunning!

 

Btw. I have a strong feeling that there is a lifetime skateboarding behind you, huh?

Just yesterday i thought about buying myself a oldschool Caballero deck from good old "Ban This" ära...          :pint1:

It's not really worth to be mentioned, I know people who have way more helmets than I have. 

From time to time I sell one again to raise fund for new projects, I just love building helmets, especially HDPE buckets. Have a special one in the works right now. :)
