Thanks, Finally getting answers. But the LAKC helmet rules conflict with IKF 2012 rules
and SKUSA 2012 rules on helmets. In there rules helmets with a SFI /2005 are good until 2015 and SFI helmets /2010 are good until 2020. Why do I need to buy a new helmet just for LAKC.
As an example, here's what SKUSA & IKF allow (per rule book)
along with: Snell Foundation Specifications:
Snell: K98 (exp 12/31/2014); K2005 (exp 12/20/15); K2010;
M2005 (exp 12/20/15); M2010 (exp 12/20/20); SA2005 (exp 12/20/15);
SA2010 (exp 12/20/20); CMR-2007 (youth helmet/exp 12/20/15);
CMS-2007 (youth helmet/exp 12/20/15); SFI: 24.1 (youth helmet/exp 12/20/12);
24.1/2005 (youth helmet/exp 12/20/15); 24.1/2010 (youth helmet/exp 12/20/20);
31.2A (exp 12/20/13); 31.1/2005 (exp 12/20/15); 31.1/2010 (exp 12/20/20);
41.1/2005 (exp 12/20/15); 41.1/2010 (exp 12/20/20);
41.2A (exp 12/20/13); British: All must have been manufactured in
2001 or later: BS6658-85 Type A (exp 12/20/13) or
BS6658-85 Type A/FR (exp 12/20/13).
Here is what LAKC allows:
