Alright thanks for the info. Looks like I need to pony up and actually get a helmet now lol wish I could buy a 2015 now..

As far as instruction, are there any good books or videos that would be helpful? I would take a class but I have a huge test in the spring I'll be studying for every weekend up until the test which is right before my wedding which is right before NG so its not in the cards lol
