How normal is wearing a motorcycle helmet while skiing or snowboarding?
Posted by admin on Nov 14, 2009
im a beginner, now i have to ski because i just moved to the mountains in denver for a job
BUT, i had brain surgery so im worried about crashing, falling, hitting my head, whatnot
should i use my motorcycle helmet?
Would have to agree with Bob.
It is not normal. Actually it would be quite odd…
An option that wouldn’t get stares and will help protect would be to get a full face ski helmet.
Since the popularity of extreme skiing competitions have grown, there has been a growth in numbers of skiers/boarders wearing FF helmets on the slopes.
I would check them out. Besides, your neck wouldn’t be as sore from wearing a FF ski helmet compared to a motorcycle helmet.
Ski helmets are soo much lighter, I would at least try a couple on to see if which ski helmet works for you. Just remember that helmets are like shoes. Some fit.. some really don’t.
Only if it was mandated by your surgeon/doctor would I wear one. But then it probably would look really cool if you were on a bike on the slopes with a MC helmet as well.
Good luck. Stay safe. Protect your noggin.
Tachyon XC Helmet Camera Snowmobile
Posted by admin on Oct 4, 2009
The Tachyon XC Extreme Helmet Camera is the latest generation video and still camera designed for filming extreme action. http://www.tachyoninc.com
It is extremely rugged and very simple to use, while delivering up to a full 30FPS of VGA video. It comes with a remote control and custom-designed mounting accessories.
It makes use of the common 4, 8, 16 & 32GB SD and SDHC cards, but it is also the only helmet cam on the market that is compatible with the 32GB SDHC card. This can give the user up to 64 hours of video on a single card.
A patented shock-proof battery system eliminates a common problem among other helmet cameras; the loss of power and recorded files caused by the jarring loose of the batteries. This innovation ensures that videos taken in challenging and perhaps impossible-to-repeat situations will not be lost.
And unlike other cameras which need to rely on an external waterproof case, the Tachyon XCs housing is already waterproof, allowing you to film to a depth of 8 meters (28.5 feet) and protecting the camera from the elements.

We recently spent a few days in Colorado snowboarding and skiing, http://www.tachyoninc.com we got to test out a new mount that we are designing that will fit against your head and onto your goggles. Unfortunately the light wasnt very good with heavy clouds and lots of snow falling so the video is a little dark. But we had a great time and met lots of people. We will be getting some video from Park Cities by early January in better light so be ready!

Posted by admin on Sep 15, 2009
This is the third trailer for the Tachyon XC helmet cam. http://www.tachyoninc.com In this video we are featuring our new “goggle side mount”. Thanks to insight and idea’s from military personnel and local firefighters we have put into production this new mount that will be available for free to existing XC customers and included in the Tachyon XC package upon completion.
The mount can either be attached to the side of a helmet with Velcro or fit over a goggle strap. The design of the mount is curved on the inside to fit comfortably against your head.
This video is our second test of the mount and was used on the goggles and strapped around the leg above a snow boot in Park City Utah.
Our thanks go out to military, fire, security and law enforcement personnel, because of your inspiration Tachyon Inc will be creating a special XC package especially for your needs!
Enjoy the trailer.
