Bowl. Boal, I think is an Irish surname.

You mean breakfast bowl
. I thought it was either Bol or bowly
. It was a silly question really, how are you supposed to type pronunciations
.

Getting off topic a bit, the trail in that video looked awesome, shame there's nothing like that near me
. Anyone ride tracks like that on here?

What shade are they?
Any decent goggle suggestions?? I wear glasses so cant use safety specs (unless I get them made specially)

I got some for Christmas and my first impression of them is that they're very clear, clear like you wouldn't know you were looking through them could you not feel them on your face. I don't know if you're supposed to take the arms off to use the strap but with the strap on(Ooh err
) and the arms on, they're seriously uncomfortable. Without the strap, they're really nice and they come with a microfibre bag to keep them in and clean them with. Hopefully, I'll be able to try grinding with them today.

They are almost correct Greg28.
The 'o' is pronounced as in 'hollow'
The 'é' complete with acute accent, is pronounced as in 'hay'. There are three 'e's in French.
I think the yellow tint works well in the lower light levels. I had some for pedaling and they seemed to increase the contrast, allowing surprisingly much better vision.
Happy Christmas young shaver.

Without wanting to sound like a boring old fart, if you've got those glasses as per the video, they are only classsed as LEP (light eye protection) and as far as i know for that model in particular, not impact rated for grinding. With this aside, that style of glasses are rubbish for grinding anyway - stuff for ever sneaks round the back of them and gets in your eyes.
I'd rather wear great big impact resistant full goggles than spend the night awake with me eye streaming!
Up to you, but at least you know.

I go for the cheap and cheerful googles/safety specs for grinding as any sparks will melt themselves in to the plastic of the lenses no matter how expensive.
The other thing I have found is that unless you cover up your Dennis Healey's*, after you have finished grinding, the dust migrates into your eyes during the rest of the day!

I got the ones from the link in my first post which are impact rated.
