104* today in SLC...although I rode early this morning in Park City, but yeah...H O T.Anyhow... Thank you. Yes, I recovered almost fully. Physically. The reconstructive surgeon that responded to the call from the ER turned out to be one of the best hand and face trauma doc's in the state. A whole lotta stitches later, and it's very hard to tell I was Walking Dead material a year ago....Mentally... Well, this one kinda changed things for me. At 45, I took stock of my ride priorities, and decided to take a step back to try some different stuff. I still spend a fair amount of quality time on dirt, but added trials and uni into my ride mix. The crash has been...oddly, a net positive experience for me. Sometimes you can lose sight of the forest for the trees, as they say. I prefer to think I see more forest now, at the expense of a few less trees.As for what I wear... After a full year (post-crash) of riding only a full face I tried going back to pedaling XC/AM in a half-lid helmet and... I just couldn't do it. My face apparently has a far better memory than most of my other broken body parts. So I continue to ride all non-DH (except trials and uni) in a Rockgardn Pearl full face. I find it well vented and very comfortable, even with temps in the low 90's. This morning I rode 11 miles @ 7000 to 9000ft in upper-70's to low-80 degree temps with 2000+ feet of climbing, and it never bothered me. For pure (i.e. lift-served) DH I ride an Arai VX Pro 3 As for Urge... No response. Which I can't say surprises me. However, as I alluded to earlier, I do think they might be well served to heed Giro's past with the old Switchblade , and think harder about the wisdom of offering a faux-full face helmet.Urge does have a pretty solid shell design, I feel. Although I had a concussion as a result of the impact, the Archi did adequately protect my gray matter...which, in the grand scheme, is a lot more important than having a pretty smile. As I pointed out earlier, I believe that the compromises made in the chin bar design make the Archi an "ambiguous" helmet, at least in context of it's ability to shield your face from serious harm in a lawn dart-type crash.As always, the responsibility of what happened was all mine. ...Bad luck, "user error", crappy rider, not enough coffee that morning, bad juju...whatever. I don't blame anyone or anything. Sh!t happens. I signed the MTB personal responsibility release form a long time ago. In blood.Cheers!
