I never raced on asphalt but I was on a MX team and raced for 5 years during my high school days.
I too crashed Plenty but it was at lower speeds on dirt or should I say Georgia red clay (hard as the bricks made from it). Usually it was from getting bumped by other racers. The one thing I noticed is the visor/bill on the MX helmets offer great shock absorption when face planting but hit the back of the helmet on the ground and it HURT a lot more and I saw stars every time.
Flexible visor/bill vs. solid stiff back of helmet.....who knows :roll:
