I know out in the east end of Long Island were the contests are held they have a very small area called the pit were rider practice and if a rider was to wear a helmet it can restrict his sight thats 1 reason any more , what do you all think

I think it looks pretty badass sometimes, and if you get use to not wearing one, it's annoying to wear one. If i do wear one its just a small german style helmet

i hate driving on the highway without one. my eyes get too watery. i'd say if your helmet is annoying you need to get one that fits better. although i hear ya on the heat issue

Heh, you guys complain about heat and you don't even have to deal with FL weather!

I just feel naked without all my gear on. I don't always wear my full leathers.. but I pretty much always wear my riding boots. I always have a good jacket, gloves, and helmet on, though.

The best stunters in the world still crash once in a while.
I crashed a stunt wars and didn't have my full leathers on and
i rashed my knees and the top of my foot.
Leathers and a helmet are a must.

I often find myself stunting without a helmet, no intelligent reasoning can justify this , but I cant understand why people stunt without gloves or boots, I get so nervous without my gloves on i would rather sit and watch.

~Carms~ is a decent person
I see a lot of people here in Tampa not wearing helmets!! Especially during rush hour traffic down Dale Mabry witch has the nickname DEATHMABRY.. I dunno, just when you think you'll be alright without one that first time You're not!! You cant tell a person that they have to wear one if they are riding with you, but I dont ride with that person unless they do wear one.. Also if they ask me , " You think i'll be alright not wearing one"? My answer NO.. Because one day if I say I dont care thats the day tragety (sp) will strike.. But I guess its your choice in playing Rush and Roulette... Jsut my opinion..

I THINK HELMETS SUCK!!! THERE GOOD IF YOUR JUST LEARNING AND STUFF OR IF YOU FEEL IFFY ABOUT A TRICK BUT WHEN YOUR CONSTANTLY DOING TWELVES IT STARTS KILLING YOUR NECK FROM BEING BACK SO FAR. IF YOUR DOING 125 MPH WHEELIES YOU SHOULD WEAR ONE BUT IF YOUR JUST PLAYING AROUND ON SOME SIDE STREET ..*** IT.. I THINK A CONDOM IS MORE PROTECTION THEN A HELMET..HA HA

ignorance at it's finest.

i crashed the other day doing a 11mph headlight grab and hit my HARD, serious hard. like i would've been in the hospital hard.

we all know that even the best riders make mistakes. uafhhdsSTUNTWARS.

you know what else kills me is those East coast guys and those goofy *** wanna gangsta lids. not only do they look stupid, but they look stupid. and i dont think there gonna protect yo cranium well at all.

Pat's helmet is questionable due to the 3/4 style. what about that pretty grill of yours?

NO EXCUSES z WEAR YO :helmet
