Poster: A snowHead

Does anyone know if you can fit a chin guard to a Cebe freestyle helmet?
And if so, what type of chin guard?
This is for a child who wants to do racing and has a cebe freestyle helmet.

I've got an adult size Cebe freestyle - suppose it's the same one - and no, you can't.
Racing what, slalom, GS? My daughter has more than one helmet anyway because it's a hassle unscrewing the slalom chin guard when she's doing GS and superG. (These days it's considered dangerous having a helmet with a chin guard for the speed disciplines - superG, and some even suggest GS as well).

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

PG,
Slalom on dendrix.
I've seen some of the child slalom racers and they travel down the slope at frightening speeds they can pass me even when I am running my skis straight down the fall-line. I thought with my extra mass I would have more momentum, but I guess that the extra mass also increases the friction on the slope so the net effect is I am slower.

We had a discussion about this a while back here:

The conclusion being that lighter racers, all other factors being equal, are penalised to an extent .... (sorry for the over-simplification of the learned debate in that thread!)

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

You just need to check whther the helmet has the holes in it for the screws for the guard ...

poma, yes but if it's the same as mine it's the 'freestyle' one with flexible/removable ear pads, not meant to take chin guards.

PG, Your helmet looks similar so I'll check it when I get home.
