Hi,
I'm a Brazilian journalist and I'd like to contact the organizers of the project. What is your e-mail?

Helmet use has been estimated to reduce head injury risks bt 85%. As long as the scrapers don't wear helmets...it sends out the wrong message to kids...As a former Traumatic Brain Injury R.N. - we have a saying..."Once a brain injury, always a brain injury." I have pimped out my helmet to match my scraper bike...please make it cool to wear a helmet...love what you are doing!!!
