The math and physics tell one side of the story, but I don't think it's the whole picture. The CE drop test involves dropping a 5kg PLATE on a 10cm diameter hemispherical ANVIL, both are metal. Picture the the violence of that impact - sure it's "only" 50 joules, but to measure the actual impact you also have to take...

Ratings are based on tests with far more impact energy than you would ever willingly submit yourself to with a “DIY crash test”. What you’re saying would be like looking for a helmet with a soft shell because the stiff EPS foam is uncomfortable if you thump it with your hand 😃 A softer insert would just let more energy...

iceman2058 Added a new video LOUIS REBOUL – SLATEBOUND

12/17/2025 1:33am
Slatebound is a video project with French freerider Louis Reboul, shot by Héloïse Lamberti, in an insane riding spot somewhere untouched in the well-known Black Hills in the south of France. It’s the closest thing Louis Reboul has to Utah but this video isn't just a Red Bull Rampage submission – in the end, he went all-in with a full edit that brings back that classic freeride vibe: simple, authentic, and true to the spirit of riding. This place is pure slate paradise, and we hope you enjoy the video as much as we all enjoyed making it. Rider: Louis...
