I always wear my helmet. I too need to invest in a bucket, because i only have my fullface, but i still wear it, even riding into town or to a friends house cuz you never know when your gonna get smoked by a drunk driver and go flying 20 feet through the air. Better safe than sorry ppl.

In a word, no! I haven't ridden once in the last 8 or so years without wearing one, and I'll never ride again unless I'm wearing a helmet. I've written off two helmets in the past and I really do believe they can genuinely save your life in certain circumstances. I think it's extremely important to wear a helmet when cycling, regardless of the distance you're riding becasue you simply don't know when you might need it. My helmet goes on before I even unlock my bike and only comes off again once the bike is locked up or away, so I'm never even sat on it without my head being protected.

So yeah... I'm a very strict helmet wearer, and I wish more other people were as well!

my slogan is wear a helmet because it's better to walk away than live your life as a vegetable. No matter how confident you are doing the same trick over and over shit happens. Stephen Murray is a good example of how things can go wrong and it's best to be prepared.

I use to wear it all the time but not anymore unless I'm at a big skatepark or one I don't know or when I'm trying a new trick or new obstacle i.e hip or spine that's bigger than previous ones I've done.
