helmets and sport representation

Ok, having just watched Skate 1, another video of some moron riding with out a helmet, its time to bring up the importance of helmets and how it reflects on longboarders in general. 99% of us know that wearing a helmet isn't an option, its a necessity. So i ask you this, why are videos and pics of folks not wearing lids being allowed on the site? I know that policing the site for helmetless photos and vid is time consuming and a pain in the ass, but the first time someone visits the site they see a banner where all riders have helmets. only to scroll down and see pics and videos of people without lids. Like it or not, the minute you set foot on your board you become a representative for the sport (pro or otherwise). If you aren't wearing a helmet, the public may view you as just another sk8r regardless of the size of your board and how you use it. As longboarders we prefer not to lumped in with park skaters and their little popsicle stick boards for obvious reasons. Think about how impressionable young minds are, you go fanging past a car full of kids on a strange looking board, those kids get interested in longboarding, if they see you wearing a lid, they're first impression of the sport is someone who realises that safety is more important than image. The more this happens, the faster a helmets becomes part of the image.
