Custom helmets. Who can make them like this ?

[jonno 0]

Im really keen to get a helmet such as this one designed and built for JC Closure by Wes Rich. Unfortunately Wes is no longer with us and Im looking for someone able to make a similar custom fit helmet. Any ideas?

I'm not sure anyone is making them currently, but the instructions/directions from Wes Rich are still available and are floating around dropzone.com.

The only person that I'm aware of that has completed one is Matt Hoover (his username is "the111" here). (There may be others, but he's the only one I'm aware of.)

He made a video of all of the steps involved, which can be found here: http://www.matthoover.com/gallery/skydiving-videos/Phyxius_Project-HQ.html (You get bonus clips of Scott Bland's kitchen when Matt got plastered.) It's a monumental task...

I started work on one using the instructions, wasn't happy with where it was going (and I wanted to have a helmet during my lifetime), so I bought a Skysystems Wes Pro Vapor and blinged it out.

If you don't mind coming over to The Netherlands, Speedy Lee does custom helmets.

If you need Wes' instructions, PM me and I can get them to you. When he was alive they were sold on CD from TSO-D and I would not distribute them, but now there is no legitimate way to get them, so I pass them on to those who need them, if for no other reason than to keep them in circulation and keep Wes' legacy alive.
