Have you ever needed your helmet?
Just for the Groms who dont seem to see the need to wear helmets, I am interested in people answering the following (I would like to make it a poll, but that doesnt seem to be an option).
Please choose from:
- I never wear a helmet and have never hit my head
- I never wear a helmet and have hit my head
- I always wear a helmet and have never had a use for it
- I always wear a helmet and It has saved me
- I always wear a helmet and It has saved my life
18 months ago my answer would have been:
I never wear a helmet and have hit my head.
After the above, I started wearing a helmet...
Now my answer is:
I always wear a helmet and it has saved my life.
Yep, I headed the warning and it saved my life 6 months later.

i wear a helmet. period
i have seen my half lid leave a massive yellow streak on the curb, and i know that had i been without a helmet, that would be blood and brain tissue.
go on coastlongboarding.com and see the pro-helmet adds on there.

why did someone have to mention helmets on a psychotically pro helmet forum?
most people started skating without helmets and now most people now wear them pretty much all of the time.... move on.
More of a concern nower days i think is people bombing hills in soft foam half lids....thanks to OS vids it seems to be the latest trend to downhill in a half lid....
I've done a DH run once in my half lid and felt far sketchier / unsafer doing that compared to having a roll at a skatepark without a lid (not that i do that anymore)..

helmets are cool , spoon feeding a mate with brain injury is cool too but the "novelty" of being there all the time to help soon wears off and the poor bastard is left alone . if only he had his helmet on that test run ....I am talking about when I raced on the NZ GP motor racing circuit a few years back now . now Josh and I skate and we feel more ready and confident for the hill when we put on our full face . just feels right doesn't it ?

I always wear a helmet, and it has saved me, both in a full face and skid lid.

I agree with that, I feel much much safer in my full face for anything of a decent speed
