\"BellHelmet\"<\/p>\n

Checking out the damage to the helmet; looks like I hit the tree near the top of the helmet. You can see two big dents at the front of the rear air vent where it hit first. Then rolled off the right side of the tree trunk. There’s a piece of bark stuck in the black foam part of the helmet.<\/p>\n
