Mr. Destructoid sent you a post card from Miami Beach
Niero | 10:38 AM on 03.26.2009 58 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 :)

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?
sickNasty's Destructoid Blog
Yea that must have been insane with that helmet.
Char Aznable's Destructoid Blog
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.
F Whipple's Destructoid Blog
So did you win the race?
ZombiePlatypus's Destructoid Blog
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 Destructoid Blog
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!
Colette Bennett's Destructoid Blog
I love that my boyfriend is such an epic pimp ^___^
mix's Destructoid Blog
Lol so awesome! That dark orange girl looks HOT!

The fact that you ran that far with that helmet on is most impressive!

 about me

Funny story: I run Destructoid. I'm your plucky webmaster.

Not so funny story: While testing new site features I somehow deleted my bio. Awesome! Will write another soon. The short version: I love running this site and will until they drag me away.
