[yamaha_freak]

and where the hell i could find them?
reply soon i need them quickly cheers
laters

I'm not sure about anyone else, but the one Rhys uses on his helmet he custom made himself on a metal lathe out of some solid aluminium i do believe, and just glued on.

[yamaha_freak]

ok cheers,
the thing is i race as well so i need them to break when i fall off so i need them outta something breakable....
like breakable plastic or a weak ass metal

[^kicker^]

even if they are breakable, its quite possible that you wouldnt be allowd to race with them.
so you mite wanna check if you are or not.
or u could just unscrew them when you race.

[Mungoman45]

Yes, Spikes will not pass "scruteneering" (or however it's spealt). It is just all about safety, not only yours, but the other racers, the only way they get away with 99% of all the things in freestyle is because 99% of the time, there is only one rider on the course at once, and I do believe there isn't any scuteneering involved anyways, and if so, it would be a very quick look over at the bike mainly. Good luck with it though bro, I'm sure it would look cool for personal ride time.

I noticed Urek wasnt running his "spikes" at the Tassie SX.. Maybe because it was a MA event and they wanted them removed.. Dunno, Im just guessing, but yer

[Alistair]

you can get some plastic spikes from your local tatto shop i think.

[Skreza]

The spikes that Twitch uses on his armor are made of rubber, you can get them from any punk/goth shop (off your tree, etc) and there just glued on. They should pass scruteneering as they wouldn't hurt anyone or yourself. The spikes on helmets are metal though, you should be able to get them from any punk/goth shop aswell and they just screw on but you wouldn't be able to race with them on.

[RAS-FMX]
