Carbon Copy Skid Lids
CARBON COPY SKID LIDS
Crash helmets immortalized as works of art? You bet, says celebrity skid-lid painter Troy Lee. Lee, whose sublime brush strokes bedeck helmets in virtually every form of racing, is producing custom-painted copies of the lids worn by four-time Supercross champ Jeremy McGrath (left), three-time Daytona 200 winner Scott Russell (right), F-1 driver Jean Alesi, IndyCar front-runner Paul Tracy and mountain-bike standout John Tomac. Num bered and signed by both artist and racer, each helmet comes with a certificate of au thenticity, a Troy Lee Designs helmet bag and an oak-and-plexiglass display case. Only 10 examples of each are available, with prices ranging from $21 50-$3750. For ordering information, contact Troy Lee Designs, 1821 Wild Turkey Circle, Corona, CA 91720; 909/371-5219.
