Revolution Speed



Since I get a lot of people coming to my blog by searching for the Revolution Speed helmet, I thought I would do a follow up to the original post. Well I finally got my sample Speed helmet and I must confess I really like it. I had Micah try it on and he thought it was awesome. He has been wearing a Revolution for about 4 years. He said the helmet was really comfortable.
On Chris Cooley's blog he calls it the "Lazy Boy of football helmets" What a great compliment from someone who spends a lot of time in a helmet.

Check out the new liner system

Well the first time I took the helmet and showed it was to a little league group. I let the President take it home to try it on his son and some of the other boys. Well I got a call the next day and he said that the boys loved the helmet. So he placed an order for 225 Revolution Speed helmets. Once people put this helmet on it sells itself. Plus it has all the technology of the original Revolution. Research done by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center found a 31% reduction in concussions in players wearing the Riddell Revolution helmet.
If anyone has any questions about the helmet feel free to email me at

The Utes Did It!!!!!

UNDEFEATED!!!!!!


WOW- What a way to end the season by going undefeated and by beating a National powerhouse like Alabama, who was ranked #1 for 5 weeks. I could not believe the way Utah took control of the game from the start. Micah was up in Park City snowboarding for a few days and staying with some friends at one of their Grandparents house so Karrie and I watched the game. Karrie is so much fun to watch a good game with because she gets so excited and in to the game. Let's just say it was not very quiet at out house that night. One of the best things about Micah playing football for the last 8 years is that Karrie has grown to like football. She will actually sit down and watch a football game with me now. I know pretty awesome. Last night we watched the Florida-Oklahoma game for example.
