[ Niero's blog ]

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 :)

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

I think you're sexier than those girls.

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?

sickNasty says:
(# 8) on 03/26/2009 11:45

Yea that must have been insane with that helmet.

Char Aznable says:
(# 9) on 03/26/2009 11:55

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 says:
(# 10) on 03/26/2009 11:56

So did you win the race?

ZombiePlatypus says:
(# 11) on 03/26/2009 11:58

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

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

Mr. Destructoid digs the heavy hotties. It's okay, so do I.

Instead of "Runner" it should read "Winner 1819"

Spitfire says:

damn England exporting the thick crust. Least the black chick is hot. *hears "booty, booty, booty, booty rockin everywhere" in my head*

Why are you such a pimp Niero?

Niero says:
(# 17) 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!

Colette Bennett says:
(# 18) on 03/26/2009 13:11

I love that my boyfriend is such an epic pimp ^___^

mix says:
(# 19) on 03/26/2009 13:17

Lol so awesome! That dark orange girl looks HOT!

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

Professor Pew says:

Dead Movie Star says:

Those are some damn fine legs, Mr. Destructoid.

Zodiac Eclipse says:
(# 22) on 03/26/2009 14:05

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

nademagnet says:
(# 23) on 03/26/2009 14:09

I love you man! Oh, I have something I want to send you for the "Random Crap" contest... but it's effing huge! Maybe I'll deliver it in person... with beer.

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.
