Hey, someone throw a poll up for the hell of it.. Personally, I wear it most of the time, but if you can find a nice quiet slow backroad in the middle of nowhere on a warm summer day with a buncha guys (okay this is starting to sound gay ) but just riding and chatting and actually being able to hear eachother, it's pretty sweet.. for a change of pace.

 

Not tryin to start anything like Baller has stated but for all yall whose talkn all this stuff about "well what if they got it on lock or locked down". I hear all this crap about tricks bein on lock but aint nothin ever on lock. U can have the best stuntr in the world and they may think they have everything on lock but what if your foot slips off or there tire blows. Theres always circumstances too throw you off your game. Like you seen Brando flip that stoppie. He is definately one of the most talented riders out right now and it just takes a second for somethin to happen. And also what about Kyle from Triple X. I'm sure he didnt think that his clutch was gonna snap like it did. Just goes to show you that stuff happens. THis is just my so dont get all butthurt on what I had to say.

Peace JUstin

 

if you ask it they will post it.

 

I think if more stunters wore gear, they would get more respect from the rest of the motorcycle community, and yes, it would be more professional, but because someone chooses not to wear gear does not make them an *******, nor does it have anything to do with their sexual orientation. I do not think Europeans wearing gear is the reason it is blowing up faster over there. Why is Formula 1 big over there, and not over here? Why is Motorcycle Road Racing more popular over there? There is just more of a market for that kind of thing in Europe.

 

Mandatory here but it is kind og "open." Headwear is needed, i have seen guys wearing beanies and nothing happening. As for me, I always wear mine, and still will in whichever state i happen to go to.

 

whose rip ryan under ur name

 

i wear my helmet when i know im doin some crazy ****... but i dont ever wear a helmet when i ride my fiddy

 

I like to c around me and doing slow **** always land on my feet,so I never worn mine,but now I do,trying to get used to it,it's a good idea...,only thing I always wear is knee pads

 

im alive because of mine

 

^^^ ouch ^^^

 

What kinda kneepads? I thought about that.. prolly a good idea.

 

that's good to hear.....i kinda felt a little bad not enforcing everyone wearing a helmet.....but we figured everyone would be allright. Lesson learned. About the whole lid thing.......do you wear a condom when you f u c k? I don't wanna know and don't give a **** ..... but it's your life. By the way thanks to everyone that came out for the friday practice.

 

The only time I ride without a helmet is in my parking lot when i'm tweaking stuff, adjusting things, etc. and getting on and off the bike a lot. Those stats from the other forum are useless. I've taken x-rays of tons of MCA patients and almost every single one who wore a helmet left the hospital in a reasonably short period of time. Most of the ones who didn't either had their brains eviscerated (straight to the morgue) or had a long and expensive journey through intensive care (coma) from severe head trauma. Lots of other stuff can happen to you besides head trauma so I'll keep it relevant and stop there.

I dont want to bother anyone with a long-*** post; you all know how to make your own decisions.
I could care less anymore if someone chooses not to wear a helmet.


Edit again: I'm only talking about the patients i've x-rayed i'm sure there's lots who didnt go to the hospital or who haven't been seriously injured.

 

even tho its state law in mass, i always wear it even when i go to RI, 1 bump to the head you can be a Veg.. or die.

 

If you dont want to wear a helmet when your riding thats your choice, but in a comp it should be manditory. You think anyone would let riders compete in FMX without a bucket? If dude splits his wig open on national TV what kind of publicity do you think the sport would get?

simple own time your choice comps should be regulation

 

Whats everyones thoughts. I used to wear one most of the time. Some small shows or slow stuff I would go no helmet. But after this summer I always will...

 

I always wear mine. Im too damn good lookin to jack up my face on some concrete.

 

Glad you're still around after that!!! Pics like that or the scrapes on some of my helmets just remind me why I always wear one!

 

I need a new helmet as well..

Levi ~ The last time we were at the spot, that kid that came with the red truck ended up running me and Mikes helmets over with it. what a fu**in moron. The thing was toast anyway..
