S&M X Pro-Tec – Full Cut Certified Helmet

December 16, 2017

S&M and Pro-Tec have teamed up for a collaboration Full Cut Certified Helmet…

If you’re due or a new BMX Helmet, (which we HIGHLY recommend), the crew at S&M Bikes have teamed up with Pro-Tec for a Full Cut Certified helmet with some big S&M logos on the sides! This helmet starts out with a High-Impact ABS or HDPE shell (different colors require different makeup of the shell) with 11 open vents for plenty of airflow. Inside you can find an EPS liner and compression molded pads. This helmet has the ASTM 1492/1447, CPSC 1203, AS/NZS 2063:2008, CE 1078 certifications so you know it not only looks badass, but it’s safe, too.

You can pick up the S&M X Pro-Tec Full Cut Certified helmet in XS, Small, Medium, Large and XL sizes, colors of Black or White and a price tag of $69.99. It’s a little spendy, but you CANNOT go wrong with spending a little extra to protect your noggin. These helmets are available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry S&M Bikes worldwide now.

“Stand out from the crowd with this retro masterpiece. Raised by the godfathers of skateboarding the Full Cut is back in demand, better than ever. High-Impact ABS or High-density polyethylene shell (depending on color) lined with EPS and outfitted with compression molded pads. Style and protection that can’t be duplicated.” – S&M Bikes

After 60 of these columns, it’s getting a little tricky to come up with a unique intro for this.

Product: Shadow Conspiracy X Pro-Tec Helmet

Let’s face it… By now if you don’t know the benefits of wearing a helmet while riding, you should probably be slapped. I know, I know… It’s not “cool” or whatever. Well, it just got a little cooler… The Shadow Conspiracy have teamed up with Pro-Tec for a collaboration helmet that I think you will be stoked on. Below you can find out a little bit about the helmet and where you can pick one up…

“We’re super stoked with the new Shadow x Pro-tec collaboration helmet design. We set out to make a helmet inspired by how the Shadow pro team rocks the decals on their helmets and added some cool subtle details to make it truly Shadow. Printed blood splatter on the inside of the straps, red foam padding, and tone on tone gloss splatter crow head on outside of helmet make this helmet look awesome without being over the top. These are available now at your favorite local dealer world wide or on the interwebs at Dan’s Competition.”

“After launching The Hunt back in the spring, Pro-Tec came to us an wanted to kick down an extra grand for the rider who really took riding to the next level. We came up with The Pro-Tec Progression Impression Best Trick Bonus for $1000. While the judges are making their final decisions on the top-ten riders who will be featured in the final DVD, we used their input to cut this best-trick reel and we want you to give us your best picks. This footage is made of up of stand-out tricks nominated by the judges and the filmers, and Will Stroud will be looking at your tweets when he makes the final call on who get the cheddar. This is going to be a tough one. Thanks to @defgripcrew for the launchpad @thehuntbmx.” – The Hunt

Scotty Cranmer Interview

Scotty Cranmer is one of those riders who never fails to blow my mind. Every new edit he produces is wilder than the last and he can ride a Dew Tour or X Games course and take home some hardware then show up to the Texas Toast Jam and kill it like all he rides is weird stuff all day. Scotty has definitely turned a lot of heads in BMX (and probably outside of BMX) over the years, and I figured it was time to get him an interview on here. Let’s find out a little bit more about the guy…

Name: Scotty Cranmer
