Hey i had a high speed spill on my dirtbike and landed hitting my head first (im fine, just a minor concussion). But my helmet is cooked now. It's an Oneal Mutiny helmet, kinda stinks it has less than a season on it and now needs to be replaced because that inner styrofoam stuff is squished. My question is does anyone know whether i can get it repaired or does it need to be replaced?

Your helmet is toast. Motorcycle helmets are designed for one time only use, unlike a football helmet which can take quite a bit of abuse. Put that bad boy on the wall and let it tell the story.

Get a new one. That helmet just paid for itself.

Definately replace it. In fact go and buy an even more expensive helmet. Its the most important part of your kit.
