    During some Sumo today, me and Joel accidentally head butted each other.
    So we were excited about what a cool move it was, and decided to
    include headbutting in our matches now.

    It makes for a much more intense round, it's great fun!

    Except it wasn't Joel who I played next, it was jordan, who was quite
    stunned when I did it to him anyways.

    We both had multi impact helmets on, I think it would ruin your typical
    plastic shelled cycling helmet.

    We were also playing in a parking lot, with no circle sectioned off.
    This also made the play much more exciting, because you play until
    someone actually falls, not simply over riding a line on the floor.

    It makes for a great style of match, and the crowd loves it!

    I've been researching bike and uni helmets, and have bought my fair
    share, but I've never heard of "multi-impact" helmets. Can you show me a
    picture or link or something?
    thanks

    They are hotter than bike helmets. Makes me sweat.

    I wonder if we should try it with regular helmets...

    If you play Sumo without a boundary line, it's not really Sumo. Then you
    could call it by one of several other names, such as Gladiators,
    Demolition Derby (best with a group), King of the hill (also with a
    group), or Dogfighting (best on giraffes, though not recommended at
    all).

    We play that, and call it something like demolition unicycles. Its
    pretty fun. The object is to make your opponet(s) crash and burn...

    We're also pretty dangerus, doing it on a giraffe would be
    disasterous!:eek:

    o yeah, i always wear a skateboard helmet for muni, haha

    i just didn't ever think about calling them "multiple impact"
    that'd make sense
    see, I have this full face helmet, and they say after 1 significant
    impact you should get a new one, and i figured that would be more
    durable than a skate helemet, i guess not

    yeah, skate helmets are really hot!
    i found this giro helmet called the "Semi MX," it's skate style, w/ more
    vents like a bike helmet
    it's got more protection than a standard helmet
    i have mine on my way from REI.com, you should check it out on giro's
    website if you want a cooler, but as protective one compared to a skate
    helmet.
