from the sounds of it the only people who are opposed to wearing helmets are those that don't have any brain cells left to risk

Thumbs up

First off all I gotta say is I saw NO LIMITS on the judgement day video and I have to give you all a big:YEAH for all the stunts and the use of a helmet. It give all the stupids a visual that you can still stunt and look hardcore with a helmet on your shoulders. Hope to see ya in the new "JUDGEMENT" or in your own videos.

To quote my man skinny, "I wear a helmet because I expect to crash". Its so true. I ride in a nice Shoei RF-900 Helmet & a Joe Rocket jacket w/ full armor.

So bring on the countless bails this season. im ready. not to mention my Freestlye Ingenuity Crash Cage.

Whatup , I have a question. Im not hating on people who wear race boots for riding or even saying its wrong, but I was just wandering what injuries have you guys got on your feet, ankles etc... Ive had 2 decent crashes, a looped 30mph wheelie and my front end slid out doing a 40 mph endo, and I never hurt my feet, toes ankle. Only thing I did hurt on the endo crash, my first crash was my finger got a little cut and I banged up my knee. On the wheelie crash I wasnt wearing a leather and got hella road rash on my right arm and banged kness up again, luckily decided to put my helmet on after riding for about 5 minutes. But never have had any injury to my feet, so why are people always like, "I never ride without my race boots"?

Not wearing a helmet does not promote a professional image of the sport. Whenever youre riding you never know who might see you. Keep your lid on or dont preach about trying to be a professional. Pros wear gear. Bottom line Stay safe, ride hard.

Nothing serious.. I was just 12''ing real slow and went to park on the stock tail and fell over on me... Just a bruise..

I'm notorious for taking pegs to the legs for some reason. I do it on the dirtbike all the time

i like wearing my helment (it's a blackened chrome KBC) ...
it gives a sence of mystery,it's light, dosn't get too hot,
and when i went down face first rollin a burnout at about 40mph last friday ALL that got scratched on my helment was my visor
when i look at how much my knees got scraped through jeans i'm glad it wasn't my face and i can still take the helment off when i stop to meet a chick...
besides, if i'm not stopping to meet them i don't care what they think of me...
to me stuntin is not about lookin kool...it's about havin fun

I respect the guy that always wears his gear....I don't care how good you think you are, it only takes one mistake. We take enough risks as it is just being a stunter, so we at least owe it to ourselves to wear gear! Joe

ahh the gear

I use to ride dirt bikes so the boot thing is a must for me now never know when you will come around a curve and have your foot it a rock/root. Now I wear it for the heat protection. My helmit if manly for my eyes and I have a chatter box I ride with when I'm out with the groups. and my face shield flips up so i can see and talk at stoplights. great vent holes for cooling and not to mention the rain protection. and yea dont stand up when doing a burn out of your garage other wise you might need on before you get to the street. $20 visor on that little move.

I did the same thing going into my garage before the door was all the way up. Felt like I broke my neck and it broke the vent off the top of my helmet.
