I'm glad you like it.
www.pinkbike.com/photo/2769807 ..I only modernized it for this contest because it was my favorite helmet design concept back when I was young.
Thanks for the props!
Anyone else wonder which one Mik likes?
The winning helmet should be an original design. Number four is the most original.
In fact, looking at all of them once more, it's the only original design.

N°8 is just so so nice... (even with different colours!)
My designes were for a particular racer, Which I thought the contest was supposed to be about.
My designs factored in his team colors, showcased his sponsors, his loyalty to his country, his boys and his beliefs. The designs also took into account the gogles that he typically wears. They also included an icon or lable of his nick name or the cartoon likeness. One of my designs also featured pink bike and the crank works event logos.
I wish there was no mention of a particular racer or even the event. Just a "creat a cool painting that just happens to be on a 3-D object." I would have approached it differently.
- How does the helmet looks like with google strap ?
- Does it match with Mick's jersey ?
- What the design looks like if you look at it from far or when the rider is full speed ?
- Is it possible to paint it with airbrush without get an ugly/approximative result?
One of your favourite rider gonna wear it, just think about it...
There are almost no limits with airbrush work if the painter is a good one, and that should be OK in this case...
Check for example what Airtrix does : www.airtrix.com/custom-paint/helmets/stephen+weller%2C+hippy+helmet.
I would love to be able to get the first 2
i don't know if the judges can be interrupted..

BeamerGER and BH22 apparently are the only designers to think about the goggle strap not covering the Bell logo or a vital part of their design!
- 1,3,7,10 it's all the same (shit) flag idea! what's wrong with you???
- 6 and 11 is stollen graphic design from the web!
- 8 ok, but it's a f*ckin' tricycle?!?!
- 9... are you f*ckin' kidding me??? what is this bullshit???
If you say some graphics are stolen from the web, then you should at least prove it... 11 Is Roy Lichtenstein's work like, wich is simply a cartoon style, so except if the images are carbon copies or very very close to someones' else work, you can't say that's stolen.
Yes, it's seems to be a tricycle mx on 8, I don't understand very well either whats the link with Mick...
Yes, 9 is surprising here... But then again, selection was about favorites, so that follows the rules.
I'm pretty sure you're upset because you didn't make it to the finals, I also would have liked to get there, but won't be upset cause it's sort of a game, sometimes you win, sometimes you loose. And that's it !
