Coaches I know gave me little lectures about head protection.
Anyway, I now wear an Ice Halo. A "minion yellow" Ice Halo. When I wear that Ice Halo, you can spot me across the rink, and I skate like a king.
A few weeks after I started wearing the 'minion yellow crown of protection' , a skater in Basic Skills came up to me and said I inspired her to make her own. She had taken a bike helmet apart and put the foam in a cute knit hat. Okay, I was impressed by that.
Then yesterday, I ran into couple I know and the husband said, "You inspired us, we went out and bought these Crasche helmets."
I'd rather inspire them with my skating.
But, I guess I'll take what I can get!
Did you get the standard issue Ice Halo or the thinner "HD" model? No one seems inspired by mine. At most, people think it's some weird sort of ear warmer.
ReplyDeleteI have the old one--the standard issue. I've had it for a couple of years I think. From before the HD one was available.
