The importance of a full-face…

Jun232020

Some of you may remember this video sent in by Vince who is an MCrider member.

Vince was fortunate that the crash was not worse than it was. Since then Vince has sent some phots of the helmet he was wearing that day. Take a look at where the damage from crash impacted his helmet.

These photos show the importance of a full-face helmet. The damage here is to the face-shield and the chin bar of the helmet. Wearing a 3/4 or a shell helmet does nothing to protect your face and chin from a crash. The face and chin are the most likely areas to make contact with the pavement in the event of a crash.

Even when being hit from behind like Vince was a full-face helmet will offer you the most protection.

If you are in the market for a new helmet check out the great deals at Revzilla.

“As great as MCrider’s YouTube videos are, it’s the knowledge base on the forum that really rounds out the full benefit of this unique educational/safety training opportunity.

I highly recommend joining for any type of rider, whether new or experienced.”

“MCrider is simply the best online resource for motorcyclists striving for excellence in their riding skills and strategy. The forum community has depth and diversity of experience that expresses humility and wisdom not often found on the internet. I often refer to MCrider training concepts with my own students.”

Bob, Rochester, New Hampshire

LOVE the new site Kevin. As a new (returning) rider and IT guy, it is MUCH appreciated, especially the mobile optimization. That is so important these days and perfect for parking lot training. BEST DAMN MOTORCYCLE CONTENT ON YOUTUBE!

…your channel is a “School” I can attend and learn many riding skills and information that it would take years to gather. I have always been taught to seek out the experts if you want to learn. For me, when I ride I remember the videos and information that I have learned. You really have an impact on my riding and that has helped me tremendously.

Knowledge is power. If you know what to do and what not to do, and understand the reasons why you are far ahead of most riders.

This MCrider platform is knowledge, in-depth knowledge that you can use out on the road on a daily basis. What a great place for all motorcyclists to gather at their own pace, at their own skill level, plug into a riding community, and study, which helps them understand safer riding. Kevin has hundreds of in-depth videos for every rider's level.

The forums have thousands of riders sharing experiences worldwide that we can all learn from. It also features many rider coaches and instructors sharing even more knowledge! How to increase your riding skills, but how to use safe road strategy so you are not having to use those superior riding skills! I follow several YouTube motorcycle channels but this one is by far the most comprehensive, and the best of the best! Thank You, Kevin!

I am a returning rider after twenty years. As I discovered MCRider, wisdom began to wash over me very quickly. I was truly amazed at how quickly I began to learn and refine my rider skills to become a rider that was not only safer, but better. The forum is a gold mine of discussion with intelligent conversation and no distasteful garbage. Tying that together with access to the Field Guide to help practice the skills I learn about; I have found that my MCRider membership is paying dividends in my motorcycle happy factor!
