I usually always wear a helmet but this season I haven't been wearing mine as much.  I will wear it when I'm trying a new trick but when I'm just cruising or doing something that I'm real comfortable with then I'll just wear a beanie.  So I guess it just depends upon the situation.

Never did until I picked up a new helmet. Now I wear one all the time, even just cruising, and have taken a few good shots to the head while bailing skiing switch outside the park.

Definitely glad I picked one up, and it's comfy, warm, and wired for sound, so I'm very happy with it.

Would never work. People post too fast between each other on this site. The tally would be horribly jumbled.

I'd rather wear a helmet that I love and look cool and be confident than end up in the hospital b/c of a freak accident

+1 Helmet

Helmet.
I saw a kid who forgot to strap his, and upon throwing a backflip it flew off his head. You know who you are...
haha.

no way man, get a helmet, put your blunt in your helmet so it doesn't get tweaked/broken when you biff it! helmet protects head AND head adjustment.

yeah but if i have already rolled the blunt there is no reason to store it in my helmet. there is space to fill in my lungs.

good idea tho for sure

Why would you not wear a helmet? It lets you go a bit bigger because of added protection, it protects you, and you don't look like an idiot for not wearing one. There are lots of nice helmets that look good - Bern, Rossi has a couple nice ones, the G10mx is nice, there are tons of helmets that look fine.

They're mandatory in the park, so I wear one if i get so bored that i have to go in there. But then i dont feel comfortable jumping with it on.

really not too much in too park anymore anyways, so i kind of stopped wearing one.

I wear my helmet most of the time. Especially with ice coast conditions. But sometimes I just opt for the beanie, I look way cooler. :P
