hey guys! I was wondering if any of you knew anything about sandbox helmets because I am thinking about getting one, but I don't have much info on them. I was wondering about their safety. Are they as safe as POCs? Are they safe enough?. I was also wondering about style. Do they look good in person? they look pretty good online, but I'm not sure. Thanks for you help

They're not going to be as safe as the Pocs. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but don't hard hats lack the ebs foam found in actual helmets?

I dont have time or patience to go over the myriad of ways you can be an idiot and get your thread moved, deleted, or yourself banned. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career on NS. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you stop being a noob, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will ban you.-Ginko

Can't say I really like the way these look, especially on skiers. For safety, I haven't heard great thing about their helmets, but I have no first hand experience with one so don't take my word for it. In my opinion, you would be better off looking at different helmets. I am currently in a Smith Maze right now, and it is awesome! Incredibly light. Also, consider going back to a POC helmet again.

Yo, i just moved here and the park sucks. I want to build something big. a hip step down, setup whatever I'm game. Just hit me up at 304 614 9861.-Nick (creme)

they have a certified version with foam in the liner. it's not as comfortable as the original or as low- profile, but it's safer. I can't stand the brim, it's constantly pulling up the helmet on your chin like a big windflap.
ski extra safe.

personally, I think sandboxes should stick to snowboarders, as you look like a moron with a big brim sticking out of your head skiing, personally i have a smith holt park and it is the best helmet ive ever known, moral of the story, buy poc,  sandbox is ugly

And/or destroying your head. Good luck arguing one of those is as safe as a poc. Get learned.

I'm glad your elaborate ski knowledge enabled you to see the lack of humor in that statement.

Editorials often come down decisively on one side or the other of a question. This is not one of those editorials. Currently, I do not wear a helmet while skiing. Should I?

Andrew Burns and Caley Vanular TAKE first place in Whistler Blackcomb's Showcase Showdown Backyard slopestyle format brings the action to Whistler Mountain base. Whistler Blackcomb's annual Showcase Showdown went off last Saturday as onlookers crowded into Skiers' Plaza and onto patios to watch the action at the base of Whistler Mountain. After a hard fought battle, Caley Vanular claimed first place in the women's category. Second place went to Molly Milligan and third went to Janelle Prtichard. Meanwhile, Andrew Burns took first in the men's category, while Rusty Ockeneden claimed second place and Mike Osachuk took third. The six riders, who won a total of $5,000 cash and prizes from event sponsors, including Nixon headphones and Sandbox helmets, will also be featured in Sandbox's next snowboard film "Shine On". In its twelfth year, the Showcase Showdown has enjoyed another successful transformation and has proven once again why Whistler Blackcomb's Nintendo Terrain Parks are ranked No. 1 in North America. This year's course was inspired by the mini-parks in locals' backyards all over Whistler. The slopestyle course design, which included rails and industrial-style jib features with happy faces, was a collaboration of Showcase Team Manager Brad Broughton; Kevin Sansalone of Sandbox Films; Steve Petrie master park-builder and designer and builder of the 2010 Olympic Halfpipe; and Whistler Blackcomb's Park Rangers.
