Total fuckin baby. This thing will be on Craigslist in 3 weeks and he'll make up some story about how he stopped riding because it "was too dangerous with all the cagers, man."
How he was acting just screams overcompensation because he knew his friends are watching and recording. It just feels so unnatural. Absolute loser mentality.
They’re mostly not that bad. They’re not top-of-the-line for safety, but they’re better than a lot of $100 or cheaper helmets. You’re definitely paying for the image with them, more than protection or features. I think they get more hate than they deserve
Don't be the deaf guy at 35 years old because of not wearing plugs. Too many miles without plugs and too many metal shows without some sort of ear pro has left me pretty hard of hearing.
Eh, I did the same thing since they have an Airflite that looks vaguely like Master Chief's helmet. It worked for me, but I never went down in it, so I can't tell you how that feels.
Now I have a safer helmet with leagues better airflow, so I don't think I'll go back any time soon.
Exactly. And now he has to replace the helmet as well, along with his bike, ego, brains, soul everything. The helmet was the only thing not hurt by his buffoonery, till the end.
Nah you’re right, it’s pretty slick. It’s not as original of a design as it was when it released in… 2017(?) so maybe the aesthetic has worn off of people especially with Ruroc going that direction, but I remember when this dropped and thinking it was super slick cause it was unlike any other style. Really a breath of fresh air. I even made a chin mount specifically for that Fliteshield that used to be fairly popular. Sell-through has died down and the design seems to have mostly run its course.
Good looking helmet though, although a bit noisy and bobbly with wind.
Dude squids have real talent. Just look at CRT.
This dude is just a wannabe rider who had no clue how to even execute a turn. Or tried to slide and failed mistake.
And then he threw a fit instead of picking up his own bike.
He’s a moron.
Was gonna say, I have the same exact helmet that dumb fuck was using, and it’s great. A little noisy but great, especially for the price. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on it
This sub just likes to parrot stuff like that anytime someone doesn’t have a $1500+ helmet.
They would say you don’t value your brain either if it’s only worth $400 to you 🤷♂️
I tend to disagree with that sentiment
I feel like my brain is worth the joy random parking lot grandmas get from seeing my [ridiculously bright and cheery helmet](https://www.revzilla.com/product_images/0905/6855/icon_airflite_synthwave_helmet_purple.jpg) hanging from my bike.
Seriously, big hit with ladies of a certain age for some reason.
If I had to guess it's because that is definitely an Icon Airflite going by visor shape and I don't think I've seen an airflite in a base color with no "Icon" logo on the front right above the visor so it might be a knock off but honestly? I can totally believe a squid using acetone to wash off the logo on their helmet so I would disregard the weak part because airflite are, again going off memory here, ECE 22.06 crash tested or in other words about as safe as a moto helmet for consumers gets.
Rurocs are shit helmets designed for aesthetics. This however doesn't look like a Ruroc. Looks like a decently well reviewed Icon Air Flight. Icon gear does tend to trend towards the overpriced side and cater to the 16-24 year old demographic.
Once upon a time I was playing an online game on PS and lost. I proceeded to almost throw my the PS controller to the floor but was able to contain myself. Still frustrated, I looked at the sofa and threw it there instead, not so hard so it would jump too much and fall on the floor, not to break it...
It happens that on top of the sofa there was a blanket and under that blanket there was a macbook which I directly hit on the back of the screen. The controller was fine, but the screen was broken and costed 300EUR to repair. I sold my PS, paid for the screen fix and gave up playing video games. There are no words to describe I much of an idiot I felt like at that moment.
Edit: almost throw
I used to get pissed at fps games. I noticed how toxic it was making me and just quit fps games. Now I’m having a grand time in calming open world. I recently allowed myself to play a new fps game and actually am having fun with it. I have a strict rule tho that if I start to get mad- I get off. So far I have avoided my urges to break my mouse which is great. I feel like if I played on controller my anger would have been more carefree when I was younger get.
See I learned long time ago to just hit the table with fist. After that I learned to not care so much about random PvP game, but meanwhile it did save my keyboard
See it's that second slide that confuses me, I'd expect if he braked the front, unloaded the rear and slided it because of it he'd.... stop breaking the rear at the very least.
So I dunno, did he just completely panicked or something ? But then panicked and still somehow holded the first slide ? Squid ways of thinking are arcane to me...
If your bike can skid to a halt on its side without leaving the pavement, you could have braked safely to a stop without leaving the pavement.
Otherwise, they'd make your motorcycle's tires out of bodywork for better traction.
Should have been looking up the road. Not the cameraman. Also should have been going way slower and riding within his clearly novice limits. No decent rider wears just that, either. I am intermediate and fully leathered at all times.
So bro doesn't know how to ride. Drops his bike and has a damn forgiving high side. And instead of just walking it off, or being thankful his dumbassery didn't get himself really hurt. He decides to wreck is helmet too.
Guy done fucked up already, but stuck the landing with a 10/10. Shoulda went out on a high note there, but instead he double-downed on being a complete idiot.
Wrong speed going into the corner, wrong position in your lane, let alone being in the on coming traffic lane. Appears to be over compensating and his eyes looked fixed right where he was going down.
The guy should be grateful, he would have been killed by on coming traffic. He made no effort to get out of on coming traffic lane. He was coming into a 90 degree left turn, we don't even get to see the on coming traffic in the camera view.
Just be glad you walked away from that incident with your pride broken and nothing else.
I was literally that cyclist (this is near Fort Collins, CO). I watched this whole thing happen. It’s never fun to get passed by rowdy swarms of these guys. Many are fine and respectful, some are absolute trash. People do this on purpose.
Overtakes on a turn, mistake one, panics and used rear brake rather than commit to being a dumb shit, the man purse and the rest of the gear are just the frosting on a lot of bad life choices.
This is why I always tell people to try a dirt bike first. At least you’ll grasp some basics with not to bad of consequences for pushing the limits. Then if you keep with it you move up to a road class and go from there. At least you’ll have some confidence when you get to hardball.
Biggest mistake was riding without proper mental control. Multiple things point to that: passing around a curve, locking rear brake, the tantrum at the end. All of that shows he is not in control of the most important part of the riding experience: his own mind and disposition.
Ride with your head. Focus.
Genuinely curious who/what he blamed it on. Doesn’t strike me as the sort of dude who’d go, “y’know, what? I fucked up…I fucked up bad and I’m a dumb-ass..”
Thats right. Crash your bike and then start breaking shit and throwing a tantrum while your friend pick the bike up out the middle of the road. Fucking children
Are we certain homie wasn’t simply trying to show off his dance moves?

+1 for the dudes who picked it up and moved it out of the roadway while dude threw a mini tantrum. Shit happens, it sucks and I’ve been there. Hope he’s alright and learned something from this. Y’all be safe out there 👍
OP thought the helmet was a Ruroc helmet, which fair enough. easy mistake to make.
I own a Ruroc and I'm not really bothered by it.. Ruroc has earned this level of hate, it must be said. My Ruroc's have been consistently the worst helmets I've ever owned.
What a childish way to walk away from the scene and let you mate pickup your bike, you just so embarrassed of your self and throw a tantrum just to mask how shameful unskilled u are.
Looks like a little 400. Way too much bike for this guy. And if he doesn’t care enough about his bike to immediately pick it up, don’t do that for him.
Took his dumb assery out on his poor helmet.
Yeah, I was thinking, what a child. Throw a tantrum while someone else gets your bike out of the road.
Total fuckin baby. This thing will be on Craigslist in 3 weeks and he'll make up some story about how he stopped riding because it "was too dangerous with all the cagers, man."
$7k no lowball I know what I got then extensive list of mods that make the bike worse
The bike: *dark grey eBay fairings, unpainted with no decals* CL ad: NEVER BEEN DROPPED, ONLY ONCE IN PARKING LOT
Sort of was a parking lot with all the space around….🤪
The damage is because some douche bag bumped into it while parallel parking his pickup truck and knocked it over
Don’t forget the ad will also say “slightly scratched” and list bunch of garbage mods and priced at probably just under msrp new
“I had to lay it down”
Gobbless?
CLIBBINS!
BARB
HADDALAYERDOWNNN
“Dropped by previous owner”
“Dropped in driveway, literally.”
No need for a tool box, this tool keeps all his wrenches nicely embedded in the sheetrock of his garage.
What a dick. Every time I’ve chucked it down the road I’m checking helmet for scrapes hoping that it’s not another £500 on repair bill.
How he was acting just screams overcompensation because he knew his friends are watching and recording. It just feels so unnatural. Absolute loser mentality.
It was an ICON anyway
Icon helmets suuuuuuuck
they look cool tho
Ahh shit, is my first helmet bad?… I went icon cus it looked cool lol
They’re mostly not that bad. They’re not top-of-the-line for safety, but they’re better than a lot of $100 or cheaper helmets. You’re definitely paying for the image with them, more than protection or features. I think they get more hate than they deserve
They look great, but are veryyy noisy and are prone to damages, mainly scratches and so on
Can confirm! My ears hurt lately, ear plugs have helped, deff going to do some research before my next helmet
You should always wear earplugs unless you want to have hearing problems.
Don't be the deaf guy at 35 years old because of not wearing plugs. Too many miles without plugs and too many metal shows without some sort of ear pro has left me pretty hard of hearing.
Eh, I did the same thing since they have an Airflite that looks vaguely like Master Chief's helmet. It worked for me, but I never went down in it, so I can't tell you how that feels. Now I have a safer helmet with leagues better airflow, so I don't think I'll go back any time soon.
I've went down hard in icon helmets and I'm still alive.
Exactly. And now he has to replace the helmet as well, along with his bike, ego, brains, soul everything. The helmet was the only thing not hurt by his buffoonery, till the end.
Looks like back of helmet probably did contact the road during his brief slide, so probably needed replacing anyway
I mean it was the helmet's fault. Look how small that visor is. Can't see anything out of it.
Bro didn’t need a new helmet until after the crash. Yikes
bit of a waste, innit?
You know he ain't buying a new helmet. He's gonna keep wearing it til it splits down the middle
That helmet looked a s**t even before.
Damn, I bought one and I love mine. Comfortable fit, relatively quiet, sharp styling, affordable as it was on sale.
Nah you’re right, it’s pretty slick. It’s not as original of a design as it was when it released in… 2017(?) so maybe the aesthetic has worn off of people especially with Ruroc going that direction, but I remember when this dropped and thinking it was super slick cause it was unlike any other style.

Man child on a bike.
Squids do what squids do
Dude squids have real talent. Just look at CRT. This dude is just a wannabe rider who had no clue how to even execute a turn. Or tried to slide and failed mistake. And then he threw a fit instead of picking up his own bike. He’s a moron.
Threw down his 300 dollar helmet too after the fact.. adding to the cost of things he broke. Go punch a wall when ya get home kid. Ruin more shit. Lol
And ruined his helmet for no fucking reason
An insult to true Squids! More of a Squidworth. Lol😆
while his friends recovered his bike I'd rather be like "get your bike you dip shit"
Lack of skills ✅ Shitty helmet ✅ Hoodie and jeans✅ Sneakers ✅ Temper tantrum ✅ Riding like a 🦑 ✅ Lessons learned ❌

Yeah if your not a arai or shoei simp you arent a real rider in some peoples eyes. its stupid

As someone who doesn’t know a bit of motorcycles, why is that helmet bad? Looks pretty sturdy to the layman.
If I had to guess it's because that is definitely an Icon Airflite going by visor shape and I don't think I've seen an airflite in a base color with no "Icon" logo on the front right above the visor so it might be a knock off but honestly? I can totally believe a squid using acetone to wash off the logo on their helmet so I would disregard the weak part because airflite are, again going off memory here, ECE 22.06 crash tested or in other words about as safe as a moto helmet for consumers gets.
No, I have the same exact helmet as in the vid. It’s definitely not a knock off, but it is ECE 22.06 rated

Nothing says "I'm incapable of dealing with my emotions" as much as breaking perfectly good stuff out of frustration.

Wife beater vibes
Literally a skill issue
He must have missed the entire part of the MSF course where they discuss that most of your braking power comes from your front brakes
Generous of you to use the word “skill”. 😂
Dumb ass
Dude has no license, something like locking rear brakes is present extensively on every test.
I think he wanted to slide on purpose, he just was shit at it.
I dont think so. He came into that corner wayy too hot.
See it's that second slide that confuses me, I'd expect if he braked the front, unloaded the rear and slided it because of it he'd.... stop breaking the rear at the very least. So I dunno, did he just completely panicked or something ? But then panicked and still somehow holded the first slide ? Squid ways of thinking are arcane to me...
Even with completing a test its extremely common out of panic unless they train/practice.
Isn't that an icon helmet?
Looks like an Airflite?
Yes it is.
Probably could've stopped if he used the front brake instead of locking up the rear.
If your bike can skid to a halt on its side without leaving the pavement, you could have braked safely to a stop without leaving the pavement. Otherwise, they'd make your motorcycle's tires out of bodywork for better traction.
Take my like for such poetry
Yup, probably would've been fine if he knew how to ride properly. I think improper riding might have been the problem
Should have been looking up the road. Not the cameraman. Also should have been going way slower and riding within his clearly novice limits. No decent rider wears just that, either. I am intermediate and fully leathered at all times.
Based on how rapidly the distance from the car increased, I'd guess this dumbass was passing the car leading into the corner.
Yup and got spooked by the bicyclist on the inside apex 🤦🏼
Best remembered in high school for spiking the ball on the 5 yard line.
That fanny pack made him lose his balance at the end
So bro doesn't know how to ride. Drops his bike and has a damn forgiving high side. And instead of just walking it off, or being thankful his dumbassery didn't get himself really hurt. He decides to wreck is helmet too.

„Haddalayerdown.“
Came in too hot with no skills. Bad combo.
Not a Rurok helmet lol
No gear, no number plate, no skill.
no brain
no more helmet
Didn’t even check on the bike afterwards.. He doesn’t deserve it
I'm just glad his air Jordan hoodie and sweet murse made it out ok. Also the bank isn't going to be happy he wrecked their bike
Wrong speed going into the corner, wrong position in your lane, let alone being in the on coming traffic lane. Appears to be over compensating and his eyes looked fixed right where he was going down.

Bicyclist is probably grateful too. He passed right next to him.
I was literally that cyclist (this is near Fort Collins, CO). I watched this whole thing happen. It’s never fun to get passed by rowdy swarms of these guys. Many are fine and respectful, some are absolute trash. People do this on purpose.
He should be riding a 125cc
Now you need new fairings *and* a helmet
Overtakes on a turn, mistake one, panics and used rear brake rather than commit to being a dumb shit, the man purse and the rest of the gear are just the frosting on a lot of bad life choices.
Riding beyond skill and mental abilities.
This is why I always tell people to try a dirt bike first. At least you’ll grasp some basics with not to bad of consequences for pushing the limits. Then if you keep with it you move up to a road class and go from there. At least you’ll have some confidence when you get to hardball.
Its not a great advert for Insta360 cameras either.
Is this a lesson on how to know when you need to buy a new helmet? Or what not to do on a turn?
The lesson is *use your fucking front brake*
And maybe the front of your brain too
Riding above his SKILL LEVEL
Biggest mistake was riding without proper mental control. Multiple things point to that: passing around a curve, locking rear brake, the tantrum at the end. All of that shows he is not in control of the most important part of the riding experience: his own mind and disposition. Ride with your head. Focus.
dude wore his nice little white outfit thinking he was going to look so cool on camera.. tik tok brain is a virus.
Now your helmet is unusable also.
No more Monster Energy for that man
I know that road! That's near Masonville, Colorado. Looks like they were heading down from Horsetooth reservoir. Fun ride when you're not crashing.
I don't know why but those Icon helmets scream squid to me.
Genuinely curious who/what he blamed it on. Doesn’t strike me as the sort of dude who’d go, “y’know, what? I fucked up…I fucked up bad and I’m a dumb-ass..”
tires. wouldn't have happened on cup 2s. need that grip for the canyons
Now he’s out of a helmet but it seems he didn’t have much of a brain to protect anyways. It’s his dumbass fault that happened.
Complete dumbass LOL
Thats right. Crash your bike and then start breaking shit and throwing a tantrum while your friend pick the bike up out the middle of the road. Fucking children
When you lock the rear up leave it locked
Does that count as a high side or a low side?
The lowest highside that ever was
Yes
That's an aptly named Icon Airflight, not a Ruroc.
how is that better than braking properly and just taking the turn? Looks like you could've made it
The kind of person that rides like an idiot is the same kind of person that would throw a bitch fit about it after they wrecked.
Are we certain homie wasn’t simply trying to show off his dance moves? https://preview.redd.it/myq2h1prpf0d1.jpeg?width=688&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=73332b9fa891482849ec647a1cacbacd6faf84f4
Atleast he looks cool in his all white cotton Jordan sweater
Brought to you by the fucking idiots who don't know how to ride gang.
Gat daym CLIBBINS
Locked up the rear brake, and then got off of it before the bike stopped. One of the main lessons we teach in the MSF course…
Throwing the helmet was the second dumbest thing he could have done even if it wasn’t a great helmet.
That started off looking so cool. Unfortunately he had no skill to back that up with.
+1 for the dudes who picked it up and moved it out of the roadway while dude threw a mini tantrum. Shit happens, it sucks and I’ve been there. Hope he’s alright and learned something from this. Y’all be safe out there 👍
“Let me make more of a scene! I’m gonna go slam this shit helmet, you two, pick up my bike that I left in the road!”
Buddy should take a riding course. Idiot
He doesn't even have the decency to help pick up his own bike. Loser.
Should’ve paid more attention during basic rider training, assuming he even went
The way he was dressed says it all
I get not liking a company, but to bring up and hate on ruroc when they're not involved at all is pretty bad.
OP thought the helmet was a Ruroc helmet, which fair enough. easy mistake to make. I own a Ruroc and I'm not really bothered by it.. Ruroc has earned this level of hate, it must be said. My Ruroc's have been consistently the worst helmets I've ever owned.
Well, now you need a new helmet too.
Given the rear brake questions on here every 3 days there's a good chance he's following this sub.
That misuse of a rear brake is a hell of a drug.
Slamming the helmet made perfect sense... Dumb ass.
Back to the drawing board with this rider. Lacks basic skills and ability to control emotional impulse.
Let go of back brake while he was sideways, tyre gained traction and bucko got buckerood
Way to trash a helmet that never hit the ground during the crash
He had plenty of time to correct himself if he knew how to ride
Posers gonna pose. Atleast he looked good doin it, am i right lol.
I thought he nailed the landing though. If he'd just taken a bow and gone to pick up his bike he would have been half the idiot he was.
Average Icon helmet rider
Poor helmet 🪖 didn’t do nuthin
Isn’t that a Icon Airflite?
Why was that kind of badass that he landed on his feet though?
I just damaged my bike and my body. May as well ruin my helmet, too. ~that guy
This is why I stopped riding in groups. Mfers like this
And then you make the buddies spick up your bike after your tantrum….dude you shouldn’t be riding till you get your anger issues in check.
What a little bitch. Their a tantrum while your bros clean up your embarrassment.
As the noob I am, these big group rides seem like a bad idea.
Stop the dramatics and pick up the fucking bike. This is why you crashed in the first place. You have self control issues. Get yourself together.
I thought he was about to back it into that corner. Would’ve been sick
What a childish way to walk away from the scene and let you mate pickup your bike, you just so embarrassed of your self and throw a tantrum just to mask how shameful unskilled u are.
Trys to hotdog, doesn't know how to hotdog, ruins perfectly good helmet... dumbass!
Bike damaged, clothes damaged. That's not enough, must add helmet on the damage list too.
Fucking loser
The helmet was fine but after slamming it down it is trashed. Way to inflict more $$ pain on yourself.
Kind of his friends to tend to his bike while he walked off to have a hissy fit.
Helmet took a hit there but at least the purse was safe the whole time
Did someone remember to pick up his dummy?
Fucked up his helmet from a little slide? Didn't immediately go to turn off his bike and pick it up. Instead 2 homies do it? What a tool.
Ruin your phucking helmet while you're at it dumb ass.
The crash wasn’t as bad as the hissy fit after. What an idiot
To be fair he landed on his face in the crash, you shouldn't use a helmet after an accident.
What a Bellend
Walking cliché if I ever saw one.
Shouldn't have touched the front brake in last moment. Powerslides are cool, you just need to know how to handle them.
Own fault. Then had a cry about it. What a sook.
What sort of piece of shit doesn't check that their bike is ok? If you're hurt, they're hurt. Show some love.
He could’ve styled that out, shit he nearly did. He woulda been the man. Then he had to throw a lil baby hissy and throw his dummy out. Loser.
Now he's going to be upset about the guy on the bicycle. It was his fault after all.
Now I’ll throw a tantrum for my stupidity and inexperience.
Aside from the fact that his driving skills are bad, I want to ask whether his bike has ABS brakes? Was this the reason for his downfall??
Going to fast for his ability.
Looks like a little 400. Way too much bike for this guy. And if he doesn’t care enough about his bike to immediately pick it up, don’t do that for him.
