ISDE stylecheck vs. MXdN

Been checking out the ISDE leading up to the MXdN. Can’t help but dig the original “skunkhead” helmets. I remember when the des Nations guys used to run the same. At one time Troy Lee would do the whole team’s helmets, maybe trick ‘em out a little, but still stay true to the basic skunkhead theme. Now Team USA’s lids don’t even look similar. I think it was cooler when they did. Those assholes on Jersey Shore would think Barcia's lid was gaudy.

 2012 ISDE team helmets: Tradition is cool.

2012 MXdN team helmet: Fuck tradition. Let's see how much shit can we throw on there.
