Get a helmet with a little shark fin on the top, it's all the rage
now



Pretty high tech stuff really, I can see where a "tail" would help a
typically shaped helmet maintain directional stability at high speed..
Most of the kids who wear them on the track do it cause it looks
cool As far as the shapes, I am much more concerned about the visor
over the eyes. The Mouse of course wears a top of the line Helmet, no
fins, no frills, well except for the black and pink butterflies and
matching pants/shirt/boots/gloves/goggles.... But no shark fin..
Some of the really high speed racers used to glue a piece of small rope
across the helmet of prevent lifting at speed.
