KEEPitSTUPID Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Im a brand newbie to trials, but just leanring to back hop and fell off the back, happened so fast the pedals stayed stuck to the bottom of my feet, whack! Arse and head took a beating lol, and that was nothing. Im glad theres no macho attitudes here about helmets! I come from a motorbike background where your laughed at for even starting a bike without a lid on, cycling allover seems to have a stigma, so this lid attitudes good to see! Maybe start wearing one for football too, dislocated jaw and concussion, semi blind in one eye for entire game, today...canny! :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casualjoe Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) You Anti helmet then joey? Nah, its just the OP got a cut on his head (skin damage) starts this topic and everyone brings out them 'wear your helmet' emotions. You'll be ok mate.. chill. If you wear one that's fine, if someone asks weather they should wear one then tell them to wear one, just don't get all high and mighty when you see someone who doesn't, it's fookin lame.

casualjoe Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Exactly, I've seen people get proper sour about the whole thing, most notably at that big London ride in '09, I do what I want now f*ck off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day, if you dont wear a helmet, the only person you'r going to hurt is yourself. You can still seriously ingure yourself if you wear a helmet, im not doubting you'll be safer if you wear one, but you wont be invincible like some people make out y ou to be.

casualjoe Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 If you're learning and your back brake lets go all of a sudden, or your feet slip forward off the pedals and you fall backwards, you can properly hit your head and it may mess you up for good. I definitely recommend wearing a helmet for these reasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ateam Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 If your living at home with your parents, do them a favor and wear your helmet. Consider what a burden it would be for your parents to change your diaper and feed you baby food every day? Bones heal, cuts heal; but brain damage likely for life. Sticks and stones may brake my bones, but hell I will just ride over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
