DH Helmet Safety Programs 5 Years Strong

Thursday 29 July

Colabo School of Riding

Board Sport & Safety Day Camps For The Youth of Our Community.

The Colabo School of Riding has been established for the purpose of mentoring the youth of our communities in a safe and fun environment through educational riding. The focus of our program is to teach kids how to ride on any and all boarding sports. With the primary focus being on longboarding, our students will experience fun-filled days going to local skate parks, to downhill skate hills for both beginner & advanced riders, and to our best beaches for Wakeboarding and other related beach events.

Mentoring the Youth Safely Through Educational Riding

The Sport of Longboarding is growing at exponential rates, about 30% per year for the past 3 years. Young riders in the sport often want to walk before they crawl after seeing how Colabo's Team Riders do it on the big screen. The next logical step of our ever-growing community is to educate the youth on how to ride in a safe & responsible way while respecting the communities where we congregate. Having fun with proper mentoring is the only way to go. When my daughter is of age, I will show her the same guidelines I show the Colabo School of Riding. Dan Pape, Rider & Program Director

Bricin Lyons Promotes Helmet Safety

We also had a chance to interview Paskapoo 2009 Champ Zen Shikaze

Throughout the past 5 years Colabo has been keeping a close eye on helmet safety. Starting 4 years back by leading the pack by importing sleek helmets from Europe in 2008, Blake Startup partnered up with Daniel Pape to form Lid Technologies to improve the safety of "Speed Helmets". The Speed Helmets that were currently being used by speed fanatics were far from safe - scary in fact. And in early 2009 Colabo lead by example by introducing Modifications of Downhill Mountain Biking Helmets in order to get our beloved riders away from using Paragliding helmets. Not all of our projects were perfect. And not all of the past projects will be implemented in 2010 simply for the reason that they were not ideal. All project, however, were done in order to innovate one step at time and constantly strive to protect our most important asset, our brain. Yes, our Lid Tech project helped riders get into safer "speed" helmets but still there were improvements that needed to take place. Keep checking back here and at Colabo.ca as news on helmet safety is released. Thanks for all of you that no longer wear Paragliding helmets. It's for your own good.

Please Note : If the interior foam has been compromised when you've Drilled into a Downhill Mountain Biking Helmets, please refrain from riding in that helmet.
