  1. I usually avoid the midday sun at all costs, since my family has had
    cases of melanoma. So, now that I will be doing daytime cokering for
    probably several hours in the bright sun, I decided to salvage my
    (UVA/UVB) motorcycle face shield, and try to make it fit my regular
    skateboard helmet that I use for MUni and all-around uni riding.

    Seems to be a good fit and rotates up and down perfectly! Of course,
    this is in addtion to the 45 spf (w/zinc oxide!) sunblock that I put on
    *daily* without fail! The good thing about the sun shield is that it's
    can't be sweated off like the sunblock!

    It's obviously not *total* sun protection, but it helps! And it also
    provides added protection against people trying to poke you in the eye
    with a sharp stick!😉

  3. the only situations in which i can see myself hitting my head while
    riding are:
    A)backwards coasting
    B)HSG(high speed gliding)
    C)drive-by cannonball shooting😄

    mainly because there are no good trials obsticals anywhere near where i
    live, i would build my own,but im too lazy🙄

  7. I'm sure that will help but yeah, on top of riding a unicycle, you will
    look absolutely ridiculous wearing that.

    Whoa that's a pretty harsh way to look at yourself! :eek: I see
    _mtb-ers_ wearing full-face helmets with sun shields ALL the time! So
    why would it be such a stretch for _MUni-ers_ to wear a face shield?
    Here's a short vid with me wearing it haha!😎

    Btw, if ppl want to say it looks rediculous, It won't bother me--not in
    the least. Maybe younger ppl care 'cause it's a peer pressure thing,
    but I'm so past that it's not funny!...wait, yes it is!!:p

    PS: AT least it looks cooler than this: (of course, some of you will
    probably say you like this better...can't please everyone, so I don't
    even try haha!)

    I think you will get noticed in Target. You'll hear more than a
    cashier telling you to "roll on".

    I'll ride inside a COSTUME store! The vid will show me riding in without
    the helmet and 661', then show me riding around inside up and down the
    aisles, then fade to the exit where i ride out with the stuff on! Btw,
    I'm uploading a better version of todays quickie vid showing the helmet
    visor...stay tuned! You know I almost look like Robocop....RoboGeezer!
