    So, I was planning on going to Aston hill this week with a enduro lid. But my friend went there today and crashed with a full facer, kinda messed his nose up. So now I’m a bit worried about using a enduro helmet.

    I still don’t have a full face lid but I’m getting one soon. Should I just wait till I get it?

    Don’t crash then

    Oh, I forgot the mention I ride hardtail.. (pretty good on rough stuff that said) so crashing is a little bit higher risk then on a squishy

    What about an XC helmet to really shit things up

    Are you ugly? I’m sure when they rebuild your jaw,nose and teeth the nhs will have you looking like Brad Pitt.
    Your risk. But if you do case it it will hurt with that lid. Good luck.

    What the hell is an enduro lid?

    I’d happily ride there in a normal xc lid. Wait. Actually. It’s rain this week isn’t it. Aston hill + rain = full face time.

    Yeah that place is well slippy if it’s wet and if it’s starting to dry out is bloody lethal!
    You’ll definitely want a FF if your doing the DH tracks though.

    This shows how slippy the trail surface was just last week … https://vimeo.com/m/93234476

    So it seems I’m gonna wait for a full facer

    What’s it surfaced with? Lard?

    LOL, the white you can see is the chalk which is reasonably smooth and exposed at all the tricky bits, when it gets soaked it’s supposedly ok to ride on, but as it starts to dry out it turns to a grease like paste. In the dry it’s nice and grippy but just creates clouds of white dust instead.

    Chalk and flint, I have a 6 inch reminder cut into my dianese spine guard from a mildly slippy day. It’s not that scary there but if wet it can be totally frictionless with the added bonus of spiky flints to cut you to ribbons.

    Dust is better then riding on grease. Looks like I’m getting a full face lid (661?) I know HT will be fine. I have knee and elbow pads but the facer needs to be bought.
