It seems to me they might make some interesting hanging planters/baskets. Possibly a light fixture if you remove the lining(full-face might work best for this). I'm a big fan of re-purposing stuff.

Planters are a good idea.

A friend had a bird nest in his helmet in a shed a few years ago.  Hatched out a brand new bird family in it.  I cleaned out the beginnings of a nest a while back in an old helmet.

What do you all do with old helmets that have never been wrecked?  Seems a shame to throw them away.

Ballistics testing with a .45 and a melon.  I also dispose my old hard drives the same way minus the melon.

I replace mine every two years,  I kept my motocross helmets that I won heat races or LCQ's with.  But my street bike helmets we just shoot them along with old TVs   

They were going to the trash anyway.

Those old TV's are the most fun to shoot, aren't they?  Easy to get them to 'catch fire' and add that fun factor.  I bet the new slim TV's are not as fun as targets go.....  :rifle:   har!  Never tried my old helmets, but now that you all have instilled the idea you know I'll be heading out to do just that.   ;D  spyder
