Is it just me or does this look like it is inspired by Bradshaw's lid from the 90's? Maybe it's just me, but that's immediately what I think of when I see it and I love the look. Anyone else notice that? tblazier maybe?

Troy's got modern "throwbacks" on lockdown...this custom "Bradshaw" one for Summey was pretty sweet.

Now you have me drooling even more, i absolutely love chromium and candy colors. Seb Vettel (F1 driver) has some of my fav paint jobs on his helmets.

Sample: (he has ever more really badass lids, just had this pic handy)

Ya Andy that thing was so badass! so was Alonso's. So rad how they both mix them up a lot (Seb even more than most drivers) Sure it is cool that guys like Hammy and Schumi were their classics that they are known for, but i love seeing new radical designs.

Check this out, you can buy exact replicas of some drivers helmets at http://www.f1-helmets.com/

That's the exact thought I had first time I saw it... matter of fact I thought it WAS a Bradshaw replica before I saw it in the catalog... if I had an extra $600 laying around I'd buy it just to have it and ride the pitbike with!

And Scottie, those F1 Redbull helmets are AMAZING, epecially the Monaco one with the stuco-RedBull! And the glitter one is great too!

TLD needs to put out a limited edition run of classic rider paint-scheme replica production helmets... a Standton, a Bradshaw, a Chicken Matiasevich, a MXKeid, a Wardy... you get the drift.

TLD is the GOLD STANDARD of custom helmet paint jobs.

We need to start a thread of ALL TLD HELMETS, both CUSTOM and production. TBlazier could contribute!

guys want to hear a story about this helmet? troy lee handed that himself to bradshaw right after the paint dried. bradshaw took hold of it, walked over to the bank of the truck, and nailed it on the bumper one hard whack.

you see, you have to get the first ding on a new helmet out of the way while its in your hand, not when its on your head according to damon.

I was checking that paint out from the in-car wondering what the rest looked like... it's really sweet.

Damn that "Kid" is on top of the world!

I've been a Bradshaw fan since I started riding and when I saw the new TLD "ZAP" I knew where they got the design from. Bought mine a couple of weeks ago and the first time before I rode with it I dropped it to get that first ding out of the way! The helmet is so sick in your hands, pictures look bad ass but you need to see one in person!

Do they use stickers as well to make the logos? Always wondered how some of the perfect logos/edges were made

i dont care what anyone says, when damon bradshaw intentionally jumped up out of the bowl turn just to t-bone chicken in vegas, thus throwing his 9 win season in the trash, disregarding the championship over a fueled rivalry... greatest moment in SX.
