apparently, it's sort of like washing your car ...

So, I just recently bought a new helmet. "Just recently." as in "haven't even sent the little card back to the manufacturer yet."

(The horsey folks reading this can probably already guess where this post is heading)

I got off work a little late, and by about halfway through our ride, it was getting pretty dark and ridiculously windy. Those of you ( Read more... )

Whoopsies!!!
Does Tipp do a lifetime replacement guarantee like some of the others?

That's my impression. I guess I'm about to find out. :P It did a great job protecting my head from the ground, so I'm definitely getting another one regardless.

Ouch! Glad you're okay, and yaaaaay, helmet!

greenbirds March 26 2010, 00:22:12 UTC

Thanks! I've definitely taken more spectacular (and spectacularly painful) falls, but the head-smacking part was more than a bit scary -- definitely cheering for that little helmet right now. Those Tipperaries are SOLID things. A+++, will definitely replace with same. I KNOW how hard I hit my head and there's not a mark on it, or -- more importantly -- on my skull.

We didn't talk clothes at Crown - is that still on your radar for June, honey?

Re: Totally OT greenbirds March 26 2010, 00:24:45 UTC

Yes. :) We should definitely talk! (And hey, it's an excuse to come down to the Bay Area, which I *never* complain about.)

The are only good once bc they work by compressing the foam in there to absorb impart.. and it doesn't uncompress.

Glad you got the new helmet! It is better that cracked old helmet and head.

What hurleybird said.

Also: I was wondering where my boots had gone. Next time I see you I'll make sure to take them with me. :)

Yay for wearing helmets! Boo for spooky ponies causing their necessity!

greenbirds March 26 2010, 00:29:57 UTC

Yay helmets indeed! Poor Flynn -- after I fell off, she was so torn between completely freaking out and worrying about me that I felt kind of bad for her. I think the loud noise was something blowing off the neighbor's roof. At least you don't have to worry about random loud noises with Bo. :P

Heh, no, but I do have to worry about my own inability to ride! I slipped off bareback and fell on my generously padded ass tonight. =p
