AggieDave 6 #1 July 18, 2002 Yup, I am, the Fed-Ex guy came by a bit over an hour ago and I've been wearing my new Bonehead Mindwarp ever since...atleast I took my goggles off. So here I am at the computer with a nasty nasty hangover (buddy's batchler party last night), in a cut off t-shirt, pajama pants and a helmet on... Bonehead redid how they have the external pouch (this is one of the old styles), its riveted on, not just glued and the securing mechanism is much much better, not just that velcro strap like the earlier ones.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

AggieDave 6 #5 July 18, 2002 I want too, but I don't have a web cam or a digital camera, so it'll be a little bit before any pics are posted. If anyone would like to donate to the "Foundation for bettering David Lund" so I could get a webcam or digital camera, the foundation would apprciate it.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

wildblue 4 #7 July 18, 2002 What kind of securing mechanism did you end up with? The strap with the two little rings? I have 2 Mindwarp - the first one I bought had that crappy velcro cover that never help very well. The second one I bought - the audible goes in the top or bottom, and two flaps go over it, with a quick-fastener (like used for chin strap) holding it all together. I like that - easy to get in and out and holds well. So my original (I bought the second because I was making my first into a camera mount) got the chin-cup put on - I cut off the chin strap, riveted it to the helemt under the audible pouch and created a hybrid new/old design!it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #8 July 18, 2002 Yeah, the one with the two rings and strap, I like it, it seem a whole lot more secure then the old one. Also, seems a lot easier to get to to adjust stuff/look at protrack readings/etc then the new internal ones.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Sebazz1 2 #9 July 18, 2002 A dork who skydives is cool in my book! I have a feeling all of us have worn our skydiving gear around the house more than once. I just bought a Hurricane couple weeks ago and it took me quite a few hours taking it on and off to get fully situated on my head. Don't try and deny it people. Silly Skydiving Dorks!!

Slappie 9 #10 July 18, 2002 I have to admit this. When I first got my bonehead I wore it down 288 at about 75mph with my head out the window. I also had my goggles on!! Now whos the DORK!

AggieDave 6 #13 July 18, 2002 Yup, you've definately beat me on that one! Have you ever had a couple skydivers in the car and lean out the window, look down and scream out spot corrections?

JohnJug 0 #17 July 18, 2002 QuoteI have a feeling all of us have worn our skydiving gear around the house more than once Yup, been there done that. Actually, just after I ordered my jumpsuit is when I broke my leg the second time. Needless to say it came back while I was still grounded. For about two weeks that was all I wore when I was at home alone. Bill You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!
