I wear a helmet on the mountain because riding
dh you're probably gonna hit your head
sooner or later so you're f*cked without one.
but if I'm riding my bike on the roads to like
peoples houses or somthing, then no.

When riding street I usually don't, when at a skatepark I use my skid lid, downhill = fullface, and dirtjumping either one.

I wear a lid for DJ or freeride, but sometimes i don't for just riding street or park. And I almost never use when when i commute, which is alot.(i don't like driving)
whats wrong with driving!
Nothing at all, but i'm 15, so I can't drive myself places, and I don't like getting rides places. I feel like I'm stuck then, i always gotta call and get a ride. If I bike, I can go werever i want. And if your at a party, calling home for you parents to come pick you up sucks Razz

I'd wear my pisspot doing xc, DJ, street and commuting..
But for everything else, I use the fullface/goggles combination as my fullface is slightly too big for me I need to wear the goggles all the time Razz

They work great, and hold a huge advantage over typical goggles in wet conditions.

I have to agree. Here's what I used to use.

The lenses are impact resistant so safe to use and they form a total seal against water and anything else for that matter. Makes sense to me!

personally i don't own a helmet
which is ridiculously stupid
but i've never done anything too fast or dangerous and so never saw the point
but i'm now going for one of the big full face ones but i'm kinda checking out all the lbs's untill i find one that looks cool and suits
