WEll... Yeah it is smart.....But you always say, I am just gonna do a little wheelie up and down teh streeet... THAT IS ALL....
Then before ya know it you had a couple beers, smoled a reefer, then you are bustin your brains on the tarmac... DAMMM that hurt.....
So then, you do one of two things.....

1) park your bike to overcome the pain (drink another beer)

2) Go put on a helmut....

I usually do 1, then go back out again, and repeat again and again.... Without a helmut....

Hmmm.... NOT SMART

Helmets are gay but I'd rather look retarded than be retarded!!

Sometimes you just know you're gonna crash. Those are times to wear a helmet. When I know I'm gonna push myself a little bit I bust out the helmet I sport both pro-techs and full faces, just depends on what Im doing. Like I said be smart and safe! Especially if ya got a few in ya

ya, the helmet might be smart, but sounds like you aren't if you've knocked out teeth twice and still not wearing one.

I wear a pretty cool skateboard helmet when racing it or trail riding.

No helmet usually when stunting it.

skateboard helmets fall off and definately don't protect hte main thing that gets ****ed up in crashes, your teeth and face.

i'd rather not wear one then wear the gay and dangerous skateboard helmet. i've saw those things cause problems in wrecks cause they don't stay on. oh ya, and i used to skate so i have worn them before.

True but it looks cool and will help protect my head when I hit a tree at 30 mph.

I almost always wear my fullface helmet, don't want a closed head injury..... Hell one year a guy in the Tour de France died when he crashed his ten speed bike and hit his head without a helmet......I admit that I often dont were the helmet when I am filming though.

I have a MX helmet for the 50, but I don't wear it much - I should start to though . . .

You take a good whack in the head and you could be gettin' colouring books for christmas for the rest of your life!!!

I rock the lid when im on dirt.. ****** around the hood tho, no lid. i will when i try long scrapes and highchairs.. Speaking of skate helmets. Pro-tec makes a full face BMX lid for like 65 bux seen a kid with one on his bike and doesnt look bad, not too bulky and heavy. probably perfect for ****** around hood

I ALWAYS wear my helmet. It's not as bad as people think. They are pretty comfortable and they aren't as heavy as the used to be, plus they have cool designs and what not.....
It could save ur life. I have seen way too many people die from not wearing a helmet i'm not taking that chance

i dont think helmets r that important when ur riding a fiddy unless your trying something ur unsure of or thts just plain crazy. i did flip a highchair stoppie going as fast as my fiddy would go down a hill and my bike landed on the back of my head thats one time i wish i wore a helmet. but you always gotta wear one on a gid bike
