THEMED HELMETS? IT'S ABOUT FREAKING TIME!
It's time to bring the 100-year-old motorcycle helmet design into the 21st Century. With high-pressure injected molding, exotic materials and high-tech components, we'll transform uncomfortable, bland plastic shells into radically Wild, themed-based smart helmets and suits that will capture the world's imagination.
In addition to our original, archetypical themes, we'll also secure blue chip licensing partners to ensure the growth and success of the company... providing you a galaxy of endless choices of some of the most beloved, iconic characters in pop culture history. And our vision is to expand our patented designs to other sports and age groups -- e.g. cycling, skate & snowboarding, skydiving...you name it.
OUR PROTOTYPES
OUR PATENT
SITUATION ANALYSISMillions
of frustrated riders worldwide long for a truly distinctive motorcycle
helmet.
Something that’s new, unique, and
revolutionary. Something personalized,
fashionable, and functional. Something
for the 21st Century.
For years these riders had to
settle for unimaginative, basic shell designs with lackluster paint schemes and
stickers. But things are about to change
in a drastic way, thanks to Wild Helmets’ ground-breaking
vision. Many riders
personalize their gear by adding old generation, ornamental accessories (mohawk strips, skins,
airbrushed patterns, stickers, etc.) in a crude attempt to express their
individualism.
But none of the
aftermarket garnishes quite hit the mark, much to the aggravation of the rider. The root of the problem lies not with paints
or patterns but with the plain shape of the helmet itself. That’s where we come in!
MARKET POTENTIAL
Wild Helmets will forever change how motorcycle helmets are
made. A true watershed moment for the motorcycle community at large. By fusing technology and creativity, we’ve
solved countless problems that have dogged riders for years.
We’ll achieve this
dominance by completely altering the outer helmet shell into distinctive, safe,
iconic 3D themes that riders of all ages will line up for. Smart helmets with patented, archetypical
images and shapes that speak to the heart and soul of rebels everywhere. And for those true mavericks who demand a
hands-on approach… they’ll have endless choices of colors, patterns, and
accessories to choose from by designing their own gear on our website. In the years to come, we envision an entire
global sub-culture dedicated to our brand, loyal collectors and clubs who will
form around our ever-expanding, cutting edge themes.
LICENSING
To guarantee a larger
market share, we must immediately secure strategic alliances and introduce new
or existing product lines via professional endorsers.
By far the best
selling tool will be the “cool factor" of being or seeing your favorite movie villain or comic book superhero. Or perhaps you'd like to show your love for your favorite sports franchise with licensed logo gear. You will blow away ordinary motorists, pedestrians, and competitors alike on every track, trail, slope, street or highway in
the world.
CONSUMER PROFILE
Ultimately, Wild Helmets’ demographic will encompass the majority of global
riders. The young and old alike who
yearn to express their inner child and individualism. The ones who enjoy attention and fancy
themselves on the cutting edge of new, super cool products.
Our product line is
in the “lifestyle” category. We’ll pursue the motorcycle
community (cruisers, off-roaders, ATV, super and sportbikes, mopeds, snowmobilers, etc.), by putting them ALL
in our crosshairs. Those brave souls who
tame their mechanical beasts daily. The
true diehards of the motorcycle culture – nearly 10 million strong in the U.S. –
200 million plus worldwide.

FAQ
There are several "Smart" helmets currently on the market. How is yours different from theirs?
Our vision and emphasis has ALWAYS been about iconic designs. Our patent proves that. We believe that having a realistic Demon Skull helmet & suit or an infamous movie villain helmet & suit with 3D contours, shapes, and textures that's DOT/ECE approved would be more popular than anything the market has ever produced. With or without "smart" components like Bluetooth and HUDs. We will, of course, offer BOTH options in our ever expanding product line for those who wish to have the "Ultimate 21st Century Riding Gear."
So you're saying you'll offer Themed helmets without the "Smart" component then?
Yes. Six are currently being offered at the same, low introductory price of $750. Our chief goal, at Wild Helmets, is to provide you with every conceivable choice that we can possibly think of. Whether having smart components or not, to bejeweled helmets and/or suits, LED covered helmets (w/different or same color lights) and fiber optic laced suits to show off on night rides, licensed gear and so on... etc., etc. But we can't possibly think of everything so if we missed something rad, please chime in. If we use your suggestion(s), you could qualify for royalties for the duration of the product's run! We want and need your input. Good or bad. We welcome it. After all, we're a community of kickass personalities. From the 1%ers to the tutu wearing moped cuties. Brothers & sisters alike. All we ask is not to be offensive. We won't tolerate that.
Why are your helmets so expensive?
All new products when launched are expensive. Especially if
they're revolutionary. The costs of Research & Development
(R&D) are considerably higher when your product(s) push the
envelope and challenge the status quo. The perfect example is Apple Computers and their product line. New methods and materials might have to be employed to guarantee safety without losing our design aesthetics. Not to mention other ancillary costs such as hiring top notch engineers, conceptual designers, manufacturing facilities for both helmets and suits, creating multiple helmet molds and prototypes of our six helmets for testing. Once our brand goes mainstream and catches on, we'll produce in bulk... which in turn will lower the unit costs for everyone considered.
What are the horns of your helmets made out of? And how are they fastened to the helmet?
The horns will be made out of hard, painted rubber and will break away for safety in case of a fall. They're fastened with pre-sunk 3/8" screws on the base of each horn and will be screwed in flush into a the helmet's tapped holes. In the near future, you'll be able to choose different horn sizes, shapes and colors by going onto our website and creating your own unique vision - designing a "one off" that'll surely turn heads.
Do you really believe "The Big Boys" will grant you their licensing rights to their iconic properties and trademarks?
It might take some convincing but we're confident that they will. Much will depend on you, our soon-to-be loyal fan base, and how quickly you can turn our brand into a phenomenon. If they see that we're the new "it" company, we're positive they'll immediately partner up with us to bring you your favorite pop culture characters and beyond. We can't wait to see all of you out there in different gear. Regardless of whomever your favorite team or character is! And as previously stated, this gear will also be available for other sports too! Like junior BMX-ers for example.
How soon can we expect to have licensed gear?
Again, this will solely depend on you. If you show them your enthusiasm by buying our products in record numbers, they'll see there's a huge market there and it could happen in short order. We could theoretically launch our licensed branch division simultaneously to our original concept line. So 2015 if all goes well.
How big will your helmets be compared to the standard helmets currently on the market?
Some of our helmets, like the Demon Skull, will be slightly larger due to thicker layers needed for safety and design aesthetics but should fall between the 4-5 lbs range. So not much heavier than what's currently out there now.
Will you make helmets & suits for kids?
Yes. Click our "Junior's" perks and place an order, specifying size(s). We can't wait to see their over-the-top reactions when they open up their gift boxes and find their gear inside. We hope you, mom or dad, will send us a picture or video of that precious moment so we may post it on our site.
Are you planning on producing other themed helmets for Cruisers and Dirt Bikes? If so, when?
Yes. We're currently designing several wicked models (and suits), so standby. It won't be long and you won't be disappointed. We promise!
Will you do any Beta Testing? And if so, how can I become a tester?
We're currently on the fence on that one. If we do decide on testing, we'll post our criteria on our "wild-helmets.com" website, Facebook (wildhelmets) & Tumblr (wildhelmets.tumblr.com) pages. So standby hopefuls and make sure to like us on FB and follow us on Tumblr. You just might get your shot at a free helmet.
Will you offer sponsorships? And if so, how can I get sponsored by you?
Yes and it'll depend on you. Like & Follow us on our various media pages (FB, Tumblr and our site) and send us a letter, include ur pix, telling us who you are and why you believe we should sponsor you. It'll be a BIG plus if you're an organized competitive racer...regardless if you're a tyke in training wheels or a Semi-Pro. Our only criteria is that you're a rebel at heart. Fearless, brave, and always striving for excellence. Someone who'll do our brand justice. Someone who always wants to win in the right way and makes it happen.
When can we expect Themed Helmets for other sports like cycling, skate & snowboarding, etc.?
We're currently designing several cool models,
so standby. It won't be long and you won't be disappointed. We
promise!
Is riding visibility diminished due to your "eye socket" helmet design?
No. They are other helmets and goggles currently on the market that utilize the eye-socket design. If fact, motorcyclists have been using goggles before helmets were invented.
Can I choose my own paint schemes and/or patterns?
Yes, once we've expanded our site, you'll be able to choose to your heart's content. While you're there, select from a galaxy of accessories like different shaped fangs, horns, bejeweling, full covered LED helmets, color or even prescription colored lens, etc.
FOUNDER
Max Wild
Since childhood, Max has been a motorcycle and auto enthusiast. Part of this
obsession involved tinkering with everything; he always liked to take things apart to
figure out how they worked, and soon developed into a true gearhead. He was raised in the restaurant industry, learning every aspect of the business as part-owner of his family’s establishment. Max eventually set off on his own, worked his way up to restaurant General Manager and oversaw as many as 150 employees in a space that generated nearly $10 million in revenue annually. Now branching out into an exciting new industry, Max has focused his creativity and inventiveness to conceptualize radical, wild designs that will ignite consumers’ imagination and passion. His concepts are a perfect blend of form and function, melding the latest technology with never-before-seen, visionary designs. As Apple has been to the computer industry, so Max hopes to be in the riding gear trade.
