Skateboard helmet designed by pro skateboarder Cindy Whitehead, from the first manufacturer's run by XS Helmets, 2015. Whitehead was one of a few female vert skaters in the late 1970s and ’80s and was the only woman on the Sims Skateboards team at the time. Whitehead used her skate background to create the “Girl Is Not a 4 Letter Word” brand, which supports women in action sports. © Smithsonian Institution; photo by Hugh Talman, et2016-04864
