That's typical fare for crashing in a 661 full comp, or any other full face with a suffocatingly close chinguard, or inidentitizack's case, a 661 full bravo that didn't fit right. (a correct fit would have prevented the face-scrapeage and tooth loss) I did a similar thing with a Giro madmax2 that didn't fit right. Face first into a tree. Broke my nose, cheekbones, eye orbits, popped blood vessels in my eyes. Learned my lesson, got a decent lid. D rings, long visors and a proper fit on your next helmet methinks [  ] Helmet was fitted by my lbs so not a problem with the size, just a s**t helmet tbh Next ones going to be a Troy lee or a MX one |
