How can I measure my head to find the perfect skateboard helmet size?
Tools Needed: A flexible measuring tape such as a tailor's tape or a piece of string you will then measure.
Method: Wrapping the tape or string around your head crossing the middle of your forehead. It should stay level through the back of your head and be right above your ears. Mark where the tape meets the other end with your fingers and then check that point on the tape for the measurement. If you are using a string, do the same process and make sure that you do not let go of the measurement point before you can measure it with a ruler or tape measure.
