 While I think TLD could have done a better paint job, it's beginning to grow on me. Still looks like a giant bumblebee though.

 All TLD helmets look like shit. I'll take a Giro over it any day of the week.

 Its the sparkles in the paint that make them look so bad. Hopefully they will come out with a pinstripe one like the D3's and it'll look a LOT better.

 You're right, dude. Giros look waaaaaaaaaaaay better than TLD helmets. Now all you have to do is convince literally every other person in the mountain bike world of your opinion, and you'll be stylin.

 What are the laws with using an established band's music in a video, especially if it's a business? Is putting the composer and name of song all you have to do, or do you have to "purchase the rights"? Just curious...

flag groghunter (Jan 23, 2013 at 20:38)
 technically, you gotta buy the rights. I'm always trying to find local bands to try to use for edits, It's not like Metallica needs more publicity.

 So everybody is talkin about the helmet, and everyone seems to agree old school Metallica rocks for sure, what does that say about the riding? kinda boring huh , thats just my opinion, oh and that's not winter riding by the way, I wish our winter riding conditions were like that.
