Toss em ? Donate them to poor kids ? (Mexico maybe ?) There's got to be something better besides tossing them in the trash. I'm out of shelf space for something to just look at. Obviously they're old helmets and I don't know how "safe" or "unsafe" they are. But there for sure better than no helmet. My thought is take them to Baja and toss em to some kids. Any other ideas ?
ps. I don't need another lamp Any gear for poor kids charity's out there ? Just curious if they can be of any use to anyone.

Last two helmets I got are custom painted so will never be getting rid of them.
The Shop
If there got some life left in'em? They get a fresh liner and a new owner.
If they've been bashed? They go in the trash.

All the helmets I've grown out of or just gotten tired of that never really kissed the ground, I'll just put on craigslist stating it's a few years old and list that it hasn't been in any nasty wrecks. I like to put I'm selling it because I just want a new design but also would feel still comfortable wearing it longer for general purposes/trail riding. I sell shit all the time as soon as I'm done with it. No point in keeping it around to collect dust and eventually wind up in the bin unless it has a cool story or sentimental value.
Maybe this is just me being naive but if you're looking for a used helmet to use at the race track, your brain is already a little wonky. Even though I'm relying on other people to take my word that my helmet is "safe" I still wouldn't buy a used helmet for the race track. Basically good for general low speed riding, trail riding, a helmet your cousin can put on at the cabin to ride around in the woods. But if you have a big one in it, please just throw it away.
