don't be ignorant, side view isn't impaired by helmets,call a manufacturer about it, they do testing on this all the time.
Re: helmets
look, even the good guys go down. remember the video when kyle woods was getting ready to do a twelve, and the bike flipped with a blink of an eye. he didnt have a helmet and i can say hes pretty lucky to be alive. people wear your lids.
Re: helmets
Busted My chin open when I looped an endo, was lucky that I only needed six stitches and it was only my chin. Ever since then I ALWAYS wear my helmet regardless of where I'm at or what I'm doin. I'm so used to it now that I feel all weird without it. And btw, I could've bought atleast two Arai's for the price of those 6 measly stitches. Bottom line,

i think they just dont care not to get attention or bc they are stupid but because the are that confident i mean yes some are stupid but many are just not thinking about the danger or believe that it isnt something that dangerous

If I am gonna do stuff with out a helmet it is because i want to hear and see things better I mean, I wouldnt reccomend doing 140 mph wheelies with out a helmet or any high speed ventures, Bugs' Hurt...But for doing slow controlled things like endos' (stoppies), burnouts, and slow first gear wheelies I think helmetless is fine!

Damn straight. A legal right to NOT wear your helmet is legislative natural selection. Population control if you will.
Let the "undesirables" take themselves out of the equasion. Once before I read that "something that makes you big in one world can make you less than a joke in another." Why would you want to make the powers that be happy by living as their bad example. On one hand ,who really cares what they think, but at the same time how can we represent ourselves if we're dead.
P.S. concussions are no joke, I've had seven documented bell ringers since I was 12. Three in the dirt with helmets (one of which resulted in two lost hours, 12 stitches in my upper lip-4 outside 8 inside-and the end to my VFX-2 which fractured on both sides of the mouthguard, delta raceway ohio) , one in the dirt without one at eighteen (lesson learned after I cussed out my best friends mother and her house full of guests during an hour long period of walking, ranting fury that I don't remember), and the other three happened in a rollover accident in a Ford ranger (along with hemmoraging on the right side of my brain)...... But the last three don't really count, they were in a other truck
. All of the preceeding was provided by the other Hooligan.

Re: helmets
My dad's brother died whilst ridin' without one, when they were kids.
Im named after him, so i feel that im temptin' fate going without.
+ a friend of a friend died recently, after doing about a ton on his blade, on a local road. worst thing is the police said that there was a slim possibility he'd have survived if, he'd done the straps up on his lid.
So dont just put the lid on ya head,like some people do.
Do the f***in' straps up too.
