During some Sumo today, me and Joel accidentally head butted each other. So we were excited about what a cool move it was, and decided to include headbutting in our matches now.
It makes for a much more intense round, it’s great fun!
Except it wasn’t Joel who I played next, it was jordan, who was quite stunned when I did it to him anyways.
We both had multi impact helmets on, I think it would ruin your typical plastic shelled cycling helmet.
We were also playing in a parking lot, with no circle sectioned off. This also made the play much more exciting, because you play until someone actually falls, not simply over riding a line on the floor.
It makes for a great style of match, and the crowd loves it!
I’ve been researching bike and uni helmets, and have bought my fair share, but I’ve never heard of “multi-impact” helmets. Can you show me a picture or link or something?
thanks
If you play Sumo without a boundary line, it’s not really Sumo. Then you could call it by one of several other names, such as Gladiators, Demolition Derby (best with a group), King of the hill (also with a group), or Dogfighting (best on giraffes, though not recommended at all).
o yeah, i always wear a skateboard helmet for muni, haha
i just didn’t ever think about calling them “multiple impact”
that’d make sense
see, I have this full face helmet, and they say after 1 significant impact you should get a new one, and i figured that would be more durable than a skate helemet, i guess not
yeah, skate helmets are really hot!
i found this giro helmet called the “Semi MX,” it’s skate style, w/ more vents like a bike helmet
it’s got more protection than a standard helmet
i have mine on my way from REI.com, you should check it out on giro’s website if you want a cooler, but as protective one compared to a skate helmet.
