Yah, ive got the flint full face and you can take off and screw back in the guard on most models. the big problem with usin them in the park is that they have a removable visor that doesnt let you spot inverted stuff that well. you could take it off every time u go to the park but thats too much to fuck with.

I have the giro flint for big mountain, not for park though. I love it it makes me feel invincible, which tends to hurt me in the long run, but I did some nasty chutes this year that I probably wouldn't have done w/o it.

personally i dont like them much, but if you like ski big mountian all the time and your gonna have enough money to have two, its coo, but i just dont think they lok good or anything weh people wear them around the park. i saw this kid with one and mini enimies and shit in canada skiing the park nd he sucked, i dunno, it looked liek he was byting of seth morrison or somehitn.

well I think that full face helmets look kinda weird, they make your head look huge...but most helmets do, thats why I just wear one in comps and its a skate like one!

 
I also wear the Giro Flint for ns and I love it. I like the visor cause its different from everyone else. I take the chin guard off because it makes it harder to breathe when u ride. I like the visor though. It helps with not getting a goggle tan.

unless you are riding in the trees or some real big mountain stuff you should NOT wear a helmet with a chin guard. as a patroller we have seen alot of evidence that having the guard hugely increases your chances of neck injuries when bailing

I think it be nice to have, earlier this season i over rotated a front flip and hit my face first(i have a helmet) and knocked myself out and slid over 40 yards on my face, and it gave me massive road rash on my face, It would have been nice ot have a full helment, i might get one myself too. Salomon puts out a sweet full face helmet.

 
i had the boeri full face, and it was freakin enormous, and they tried to airbrush it from the factory and it looked gay, i really like the skate type helmet, cuz all the other ones got so damn hot

i have the boeri cross, and the thing is friken monsterous. it weighs a ton, and visibility isn't very good, and it is hot as hell. i think i'm gonna get a nine. usually i wear just a brike covered in stickers and duck tape and stuff. the only tim i will ever use my full face again will probably be if i'm spend the whole day hucking cliffs where a knee to the face would not be fun. otherwise you really don't need it.

 
Yeah, when you think about it, they don't really make all that much sense

Hmmmm...everyone's saying they are useless. I seem to rember a pretty bad picture of Five40's broken nose while skiing. And when I telemark I face plant all the time off tables and stuff if I land too far forward. And, when I was skiing the trees at sunshine I took a pretty good branch to teh face...

Man, i got a sweet lid, a bell ballistic green, and its bomb...but i never actually use it....i dunno, i think safety is gay.

i only use it when im doin north shore biking

the only thing wrong with snowboarders is that they snowboard
 
I smashed up my face pretty bad 2 years ago...broken cheek bones and nose and stuff...and as much as it may have stopped that a full face prob would have snapped my neck so I'll stick with the less damaging injuries and just wear my nine

i personally think they look retarded 'cuz this is skiing, not moto, but hey, if you wanna get your neck jerked when you land, i have no problem with it. i took a fall last sunday that if i had been wearing a helmet with a chin guard i probably would be hospitalized right now (ended up landing fakie then slamming my chin into the ground. hard.)

 
Full face in park is gay, and my giro flint is about half the size of my moto helmet. I like not hitting my face on trees and taking knees to the face when dropping cliffs plus I rather jack my neck a little bit then crush every bone in my face if I catch an edge in a chute
