If you grew up in the ’80s, then every time you walked through the woods and heard a noise you didn’t recognize, you automatically assumed it was the Predator. Years later, those alien creatures who hunted army units in the jungle (and also helped us realize that getting to the chopper was EXTREMELY important) are still popular, with cosplayers portraying them at cons all the time.
Well, now thanks to Nitrinos MotoStudios, the Predator can now help you protect your head and spine – as opposed to having it ripped out and worn as a trophy – with these new designer motorcycle helmets. The above video shows one of them being taken for a test drive to ensure “dreadlock durability,” a phrase you probably didn’t think you’d ever see, hear, or dream of. Here are few more of their custom builds.
While they definitely won’t protect you from being mowed down with a Jesse Ventura-manned super-machine gun, these helmets are certainly enough to scare fellow drivers on the road into giving you that assured clear distance.
And just in case someone decides to get a little salty with you, this helmet’s laser sighting will hopefully set them straight.
You can check out the rest of Nitrinos’ Predator helmet designs on their Instagram feed here.
So what do you think? Are you ready to take to the streets with your cloaking device? What other creature helmets (*cough* Xenomorph *cough*) would you like to see made? Let me know on Twitter or beat Carl Weathers in arm-wrestling down in the comments below.
