He was around 8 when he started riding, we live very close to a resort and our school partners with them- about every 2 weeks throughout the winter the kids that participate take the day off to ski and ride. (so at 13 he already has 5 solid years of riding under his belt) A requirement of the program is that helmets are mandatory. When buying my only requirement was that it was from a reputable company, we ended up getting a giro “bad lieutenant” digicamo helmet. It is very cool looking, which helps in him wanting to wear it. Same with me, this is very superficial but I don't want one that makes me look like a “bobblehead” haha 8)
