That's so good to hear. Progression through protection is our motto.How old was your son when he first started snowboarding? They're getting younger and younger. We're hearing 3 years old in some cases. What did you look for when you bought a helmet for him? and yourself? Pro riders not wearing helmets is a crazy issue that I just stepped into recently. The whole image thing has gotten a little bit out of hand. They are a pretty big influence, but unlike in skating, the riders wise up once they experience and survive something beyond their capabilities. That's when they realize that they don't care about being cool, and just want to get better.
