Burton Skycap Helmet
The Burton Skycap helmet, often imitated but never outdone, sets the standard for comfortable and efficient versatility. Removable, washable fit pads let you keep your helmet funk-free. The Rider Controlled Venting system uses improved tight-knit mesh-weave vents to prevent snow from clogging up, melting and then dripping into your helmet. Close the vents to retain warmth on cold days or crank them open to invite in a refreshing cross-flow breeze in warm weather or on long, arduous hikes. You wear a seatbelt when going down the highway, so why think twice about protecting your noggin when bombing down a mountain? –Vendor

Training Tips
For runners looking to get the maximum benefit from hill training, as you sprint to the top of the hill have your arms pumping faster and faster. Once you get to the top, continue on increasing your speed as much as possible.
After each interval, take your pulse rate by counting the number of beats at your wrist or neck for 15 seconds. Multiply that result by four to get your beats per minute. Your next interval should start before your heart rate is less than 60% of your maximum.
The four components of good fitness include flexibility, muscular endurance, muscular strength, and cardiorespiratory endurance. For optimum health, include at least two of these groups in three workouts per week.
Your fitness level will improve by overloading, working your body hard enough to stimulate the body, progression, increasing the frequency, intensity, and duration of exercise over time, and regularity, working out frequently, at least three times a week.
