No shit he also does Felt bikes. They are some baller ass bikes too. My father has a sick ass full carbon fiber road bike from Felt thats insaine. Craftsmanship is out of this world on that bike and those helmets. ---

I love painting, and wish I had the facility and oppertunities to be in his shoes too. Not for the money, but to develope the shear skill and self worth from turning out work like this. Understanding enough about paint work, I am totally astonished by this helmet. I cant even tell you where he started and finished the last color on that thing. The layers are insaine. The level of control, forethought in the design, crispness of each and every mm. worth of line edges, fades… holy shit! Its almost like its a single computer printed graphic, its that precise. What I would do to be a fly on the wall for all 12 hours they said it took to paint that thing. ---

Not taking anything at all away from him, but it looked like he used a decent amount of vinyl to do this. ---
