dude, 30mph is 30mph...whether you're on a mountain bike or you're on a streetbike, your head will hit the ground with the same force.

I wear one when dirt riding sometimes, when I'm in a parking lot I usually don't......but I bring it with me....does that count for anything.

lol that pic looks like someone after I got into a fight with them a while back. j/k bro that sucks. I don't wear a helmet on my fiddy. I'm not stranger to pain though. I couple years ago I did a handrail downtown (on my bmx bike) that has 7 kinks in it and curves 45 degrees to the left. At the time no one had ever done it, I got to the last set of stairs and pulled off at the very bottom step. Nose cased my front tire into the step and took one straight to the face. fractured my check bone and my eye was swollen shut for 4 days Not having any depth perception sucks!

P.S. that was at 4am and I had to ride the subway home with all the drunks and druggies

I wasn't wearing mine for the longest time... then I bounced my head off the pavement running into my buddy. He was on his fiddy, and I was on the TTR. **** happened so quick I don't even remember it! Didn't get hurt too bad but made me realize that I could. The helmet will stay on for now

damn! well at least your teeth keep growing back, that's pretty cool!
i'm worried that if i knock mine out they won't grow back... (that's just what i've heard)

i got a pimp *** brain bucket for riding the fiddy but i've yet to wear it... it's so cold now i gotta wear a beanie to keep warm.
(i just rock the slow **** in garages so it's nothing over 15-20mph)

I almost never wear a helmet. I wore my street helmet once and I swear my brain told me anything requiring and helmet is scary and I couldn't stunt for ****. I'm thinking about picking up a motox helmet, though for some protection.
