Mr. Destructoid sent you a post card from Miami Beach
Niero | 10:38 AM on 03.26.2009 61 comments




About a month ago I actually ran a 5k (3 miles) wearing the Mr. Destructoid helmet in the Ocean Drive 5k, a charity that benefits the Miami Children's Hospital. When it was over we went down to the beach and found five British girls in a cloudy haze of ganja on the shore. Instant postcard! (Hit the gallery for the full size)

We have a video of the event somewhere -- we'll be sure to put it up after GDC madness ends :)

I like the "hey, what can I say?" type of expression that picture is conveying.

I love English chicks!!

Also I think running in that helmet is an accomplishment on its own. Flex those neck muscles!!

VGMari said it best.

How come none of the hot English chicks live in England =[.

PS: The new Mr.Destructoid helmet looks a LOT bigger and heavier than the old one. Is it?

So what was the sweat situation like in that helmet after 3 miles of running? Did you have some ultra secret perspiration-absorbing technology built in?

Nice shorts.

Who wears short shorts? Mr. Destructoid wears short shorts!

Running a 5K in that helmet sounds insane, I gotta see that video...

Why are you such a pimp Niero?
Niero's Avatar - Comment posted on 03/26/2009 13:11

lol yeah, those shorts were amazing. they were bright green and very small to go with my green socks and green shoes. I wanted people to rubberneck/crash their cars if I jogged by

The helmet is huge and heavy. it's 8 pounds and 25% bigger than the last one. I have to wear a folded towel around my head to keep it from slipping. My neck was sore for a week after I did that but it was so worth it!

Do you fabreeze the helmet between uses or just hose it down? Just curious. Also, awesome pic.

Nice going Niero, but dude what did you do with the other destructoid head? If you're just gonna chuck you should put it up for auction or as a prize in some contest because I'm sure everyone here would love that.
