Just posting a few pics of my most recent helmet... Its number 19,and sadly the current one, number 20,will be my last for at least 18 months. Im moving to an apartment and wont be able to paint until I build a house. On the plus side, Ill be able to practice my striping and airbrush work.

Bad ass! Whether it comes to graphics, helmets, or my kids' basketball shoes, I like my stuff being different/unique from anyone elses. The ability to do a one-off helmet like that is what I'm about! Nice work!

Awesome work!! Always wanted to get into painting helmets. I airbrush my RC car bodies but I’m no pro and don’t know the proper process of painting helmets. Maybe someday.

I taught myself and asked the pros when I hit a roadblock.

Awesome. Really cool designs. Something about custom helmets and just helmets in general. I still have every helmet I ever owned including a Lechein bad bones als2 but always dreamed of one like these.

I love those old school paint jobs. It's a shame energy drink sponsorships have ruined the creativity of the pro's helmets.

Yes, Bad Ass! Wish I had a place to paint now that my kids are grown. Painted several in the mid nineties but haven’t picked up the air brush in over 10 years. Really crazy that you spend the bulk of the time taping and cutting over actual painting.

Dude, looks sooo good! I see a lot of Troy lee influence in there from the 90's and some Mataisevich in there too. At first glance, I thought it was a TLD custom paint job from the 90's....which is a huge compliment! Whatever you're doing, don't stop and keep the ball rolling somehow. Maybe find a local paint booth somewhere and ask to paint after hours...just don't stop.

Is that helmet for Jake Fricker perhaps? I remember the Fricker name when he was a young Team Green kid on 65s in the Midwest.

Yes it was... Jake is an electrician in Atlanta now.
