The Brain does not like G's
The brain does not like G's. Anything over 300 G's will likely cause a severe concussion and/or possible Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or death. We took an S1 Lifer Helmet and a soft foam helmet from every major helmet brand and put them to the test.
Guess what! The soft foam helmets FAILED the test. The S1 Lifer Helmet passed the test.
We dropped the helmets from a 6.5 foot drop height. All the soft foam helmets allowed 800+ G's into the brain. The impact energy goes directly through the soft foam and rattled the brain.
The S1 Lifer Helmet is constructed with EPS Fusion Foam and the foam disperses the energy so only 186 G's hit the brain.
Why are we sharing this information?
Back in 2010 we were getting reports that younger rippers and pros were getting knocked out (and worse) in the soft foam skate helmets. So we set out to make a safer and more protective helmet. We came up with the S1 Lifer Helmet and alot of top Pros have made the switch.

S1 Lifer Helmet - BMX Shops
About: Back in 2010 we noticed alot of Skateboarders, Longboarders, BMX riders and Roller Derby participants were getting knocked out and worse in traditional soft foam skate helmets. So we set out to make a helmet that would help protect the head better and still fit nice and deep on the head like a traditional skate helmet. We made a better, safer helmet for life long skaters.
Specs: Constructed with EPS Fusion foam • Certified Multiple Impact • Certified High Impact • 5x More Protection than regular skate helmets • Deep Fit Design so it fits low on the dome • Interchangeable sizing liners
Sizing: Available in 3 different shells
Mini Lifer Helmet: 18.5″ – 20.5″ Lifer Helmet: 20.5″ – 23.5″ Mega Lifer Helmet: 24″ +

Alfredo Mancuso / S1 Helmets BMX Team Manager
Proud to announce Alfredo Mancuso as the new S1 BMX TM and bringing along Alex Donnachie, Stevie Churchill, Dylan Stark and Dilllon Lloyd to the S1 Team. How did you end up becoming the new S1 Team Manager? Alfredo: So I started riding for S1 Helmets in 2013, and I always enjoyed working with everyone involved, from the owners to the riders to the dudes working in the warehouse! As of the last 3 years I’ve gotten more into the roles of handling our OSS/TCU team so it just seemed like an easy addition to my workload to not only ride for S1 but to manage the team and the direction of marketing in BMX! Who did you bring to the team? Alfredo: Basically I brought on 4 of the most happening riders of the moment, who also happen to be my roommates and good friends; Stevie Churchill, Dylan Stark, Dillon Lloyd and Alex Donnachie. It goes without saying that these guys are not only phenomenal athletes, have great personalities but are also good people and I already enjoy spending time with them, so why not further my travels with them! And what should we see from S1 BMX in the next year? Alfredo: As much was the mantra for Pinky and The Brain, Try to take over the world! Haha but in all honesty I think S1 already delivers a great product, so now I want to just add a more, well-concerted approach for the BMX team to convey this message.

When your kid says I don't want to wear a helmet - read this to him...
Dane Berke · Test pilot, milford bicycle greeesy fingaz at Sinister Bikes
glad it sounds like hes gonna recover, but i gotta say, i cant for the life of me understand the whole no helmet mentality. especially for dudes like aneyerlator who are constantly pushing themselves to do gnarlier shit at a higher level. theres no if, just when as far as ringin the bell. i had a crash that had i not been wearing a helmet, would have been game over. still woke up in a shitty n.j. hospital with 12 hours of my life missing, and years of aftereffects to deal with. granted, a helmet is not a get out of brain injury free card, but what the fuck is the benefit of not wearing one? aside from bullshit like i cant ride right with one, or i dont like how it feels...still feels better than losing control over your bodily functions, talking like a canadian, or being fucking dead.

S1 Lifer Helmet / Testimonial
Hey Robert!
Saturday morning the temps hit the high 40s in Chicago so some buddies and I went to ride the bowl at Wilson skatepark. I took a full speed dive off one of the extensions, thanks to the ice like anti-graffiti paint they use there, and would have scrambled my eggs something fierce had I not been wearing your helmet. I really want to thank you personally for sending that, self employed and uninsured is a bad combination for BMX and it goes a long way. I don’t send these emails often but i felt it necessary in this case. I would have been fucked in my ______ plain and simple. Thank you.
I am going to be sending an order over shortly after the holidays to fully stock your product and phase out helmets that aren’t rated for what we do.
Thanks again,

Adam Banton / July Blog Update
How's it going all? Besides it being triple digits for the last 3 weeks out here in the desert, I have actually been riding a good amount. At night mostly but it seems to be working. I make exceptions though. Such as pool guru Dean Dickenson passing through town. Dean wrote a book called "You won't" about him riding as many pools as possible in a certain amount of time. I won't tell you the rest, just go order it online. So when he ask if I was down to go pool shralping, it was actually an honor to ride some local gems with him.
We had one day together before he had to be in Austin. I grabbed my GPS and searched through my phone. It ended up being a great day. 3 out of 4 pools wasn't too bad. They were all different and all fun, the one that we didnt ride, had a crazy wild dog living under the porch of a burned down house in the neighborhood of the Mexican Mafia. But actually I have never had any problems in that area. Dean wasn't as scared as I was from the dog so he walked back over to check the pool, it had a bunch of junk in it anyway. Do I need to start bringing pepper spray while hunting? We ended the day at a permission pool. Probably the worst thing that happened was ripping my fav shirt while dangling above razor wire to ride the first pool. Which of course used to have a big opening. It was a rad day and reminded me how much I love riding pools. And with the triple digits being around, you bet they are all dry.

Soft Foam Helmets
Soft Foam helmets. That is what I grew up wearing in the 80's. And when I wore a helmet I would wear a soft foam. And then we tested a soft foam helmet in the lab. I was there and watched it. I haven't worn a soft foam helmet since. I wear a certifed helmet and I make sure my son wears a certified helmet. Watch the video and you might make the switch to the S1 Lifer Helmet also.
Alot of people have gotten KO'd or worse while wearing the soft foam helmets. (the video helps explain why)
S1 Lifer Helmet Vs. Soft Foam Helmet (Helmet Testing Lab) from s-one helmet co / s1helmets on Vimeo.
Here is the thing. You know when you break an ankle or something. You go back in time.. and you think.. hmmm... if I had done this differently or that differently maybe I could have avoided breaking my ankle. Well imagine hitting your head in a soft foam helmet and being airlifted to the hospital and then having brain damage and life is super difficult and you think man I wish I was wearing a certified helmet... For real... No Joke... The S1 Lifer Helmet is the way to go. Fits good and is the safest half shell helmet on the market. The S1 Lifer Helmet. Brian Yeagle, Adam Banton, Dave Dillewaard, Alex Platt. Sean Morr, Chris Doyle, Mark Mulville and Rob Wise are wearing S1 Lifer Helmets. Great Fit + Best Protection = S1 Lifer Helmet www.s1helmets.comWednesday, June 12, 2013

Adam Banton Blog : May 2013
Hi Everyone, Hope you all have been able to ride and get out side like I have. What have I done? Well, went camping up in Sedona for a weekend, hit up a natural spring and lived off that for 2 days, delish water. Knowing how hot its going to get next month here in AZ, I have been trying to enjoy the cooler 100F days before it's un bearable and stuck to night sessions only. It's been really good as of late. I was offered to do some school shows in New Mexico for 2 days, so I brushed off the ol' show trick list and hopped in the truck. It was actually alot of fun, saw tons of cool mountain scenery and even rode a rad park at 7 A.M in a high elevation town called Los alamos. Super cool. I made a day trip down to Tucson yesterday and rode Premises skatepark, new lay is super fun and it felt awesome to ride wood ramps instead of cement. I need to make it down more often. My friend who tracked drums on my new, SOON to be released record teaches music business at the local community college, and ask if I would give a lecture about self promoting and give some insight to social media marketing yourself. Of course I said yes, got paid and everything. But the best part of this was it is also the same campus I always get kicked out of for riding on the weekends, hahah. Never would I have thought I would be a guest speaker. I am also getting more and more obsessed with vintage guitar gear, mostly reading and researching. But I'm gonna make a move on something soon! New album is getting mixed in Norway (yes, Norway, its a long story) at the end of this month then on to Mastering! Super excited to share it with everyone. Cheers.
