All of this past season i wore a helmet. But for next year, i think im gonna only wear one days when my ipod isnt charged. Because i got some sick skullcandy DJ headphones and the wont fit with a helmet. So i will probally wear a helmet 3 or 4 days a week next season.

I hate wearing a helmet. Mainly cos Ive got an odd shaped head so they never fit and the one I own looks a bit gay. But if I'm hitting kickers and trying anything other than 3s and straight airs I always put the lid on!

i used to only wear a hat cause i didnt like my helmet but then i started to wear it and then i stopped.....i did a blindside 270 out and caught the rail and smacked my head on ice....second bad headache of the day and the first was i hit a big rainbow rail and leaned back to far and slipped out and gapped the whole top and landed my head on the rail and thought i was screwed....so i wear my helmet now all the time!

The only time in the past seven years i haven't worn a helmet is for urban stuff. Which, now that i think about it, seems incredibly stupid.

helmet always except for normal piste runs. why wouldn't u use a helmet when jibbing? if u hit ur head on a jib it'll prob do more than the snow from a landing will. When you have a sick R.E.D. Trace, or a nice helmet like that, why wouldn't you wear it anyway? They look sweet, and they're comfy too.
