    another option



    I like.
    $75.00 is a great price and the helmet looks as safe as the paratec.
    One may have to call chutingstar for sizes though... the website indicates that only an XS is available.

    I bought one about a year and a half ago, they are good beginner helmets and IMO more comfortable than the protecs.. but I didn't realize the company went out of business

    Well let's regulate car prices then too. If it has 4 wheels and 2 doors its 10,000 if it has 4 doors thats 20,000. Doesn't matter the quality of material, the craftsmanship, or the features, its a flat price.

    Fuck Lexus for making a car out of better materials with better craftsmanship that led to a higher price.



    I don't think it is that simple... I am a health care provider (physical therapy)

    my company will most likely bill the exact same charges as PTcompanyB down the street. but when my therapy actually works for your hip guess where you will come when your knee bothers you. and guess where you will send your sister when she injures her shoulder. if PTcompanyB doesn't provide the level of care we do their business will suffer.

    OTOH The main issue in PT is reimbursement rates going down, and medicare is by far the highest paying insurance for reimbursement.

    The other problem I see is patients who get their health insurance through their employer have increased co-pays and deductibles and cant finish their rehab due to financial restraints.

    I don't know the answers to these problems but the current system is flawed

    ******Length of the loop seems correct. Size of the eye of the loop is too big.



    Does it? I thought the grommets should be pretty much aligned.

    Not on a Vector 3. The grommets are supposed to be offset, not stacked. Just like the picture.

    would there be any negative affects of packing a vector 3 with the grommets stacked?

    Or does the canopy deke left and right and suddenly dive off in one direction, throwing you around so that you end up getting the lines crossed and thus keep on rotating, creating all the line twists?



    what causes this?, I have had it happen a handful of times on my triathlon 190, and while I am usually able to stop it before line twists start, it does cause horribly off heading openings

    I'm thinking you could get a lot more force onto the cable with a d-ring, as a hooked thumb in a loop is more secure than a hand grip.



    maybe not, in wrestling/BJJ I was always taught not to use the thumb because you are stronger with out it, but not sure if it would apply here... the "gable grip" is an example of this

    By only doing it once I keep the risk lower



    that is some fucked up logic right there



    It's actually math. If you have a 5% chance of something going wrong and do it once. You have a 95% chance of getting away with it. If you do the same thing 10 times while maintaining the 5% risk you have a 60% change of getting away with it every time. If you do it 100 times while remaining at a 5% risk factor you have a .5% change of getting away with it every time. But the more you jump the risk factor goes down because the experience factor goes up. I have no clue what the statistic is for 'camera incidents/camera jumps' is so I can't give you detailed numbers but I can safely say that it is far less than 5%. this makes me laugh
