AggieDave 6 #2 August 4, 2004 What car is best for a beginner driver? Find the one that has the features you want, in the price range you want and will work for your application, then go with it.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

freeflydrew 0 #3 August 4, 2004 Rawa... Lightest, most comfortable (easily arguable), i think it costs less than the others... I think that most people who fly with a Rawa feel that they found the best helmet on the market. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or not...

riggerrob 643 #4 August 4, 2004 Buying a helmet is like buying shoes: you will only be happy with the helmet that fits the best. For example, I have a huge jaw and am only comfortable helmets made by Bonehead. I still jump my original full-box Bonehead camera helmet and got a HOVAK last year. the bottom line is: try on dozens of different helmets until you find one that is comfortable.

What are you going to be shooting withit? Are you wanting stills? Are you wanting two cameras to lear for Nationals?I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damion 0 #8 August 6, 2004 i believe the Illusion to be a great helmet as well. i was speaking with someone that said they would put as much stuff on the illusion as they would the flat top pro. and since its lighter, that was all i needed to hear. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydver 0 #11 August 12, 2004 if youre just starting and not sure if you will stick to it then start with a protect and build your own. its very light and it will save you some big bucks. who knows you may like a protec and stick with it, i did.
