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.

gotta have eye pertection here in NH...makes sense though, after all the motto is 'live free and die'...no helmet law, just an eye protection one....

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"?
**** happens
now that everybody is trying 12's there are going to be more and more feet and ankle injuries .but ive messed up my feet a few times ,if i had my boots on the injuries would have been minimal.
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.

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.
