Because its the logical thing to do.
Protect your dome, you may need it later in your life, even thought you may not think so.

Wearing helmets is a smart thing to do, But BMX'ers rarely do.. Almost all of the street riders don't, and they do some crazy ass stuff.

Apologies in advanced for this stumbling rant! haha

So! Let me first get this straight, you have to wear a helmet to be in a vod or pod...right?

The main reason for this being that it sets a bad example if you feature pictures and videos portreying helmet-less riders. Furthermore; Spoiledgoods says that parents have contacted pinkbike worried about how their kids will see people with no helmets and not think it's cool to wear one! Well, in my opinion thats a fair enough reason I guess!

Okay! So, today’s vod (the one with the helmet cam street riding)....there’s a guy riding his bike down some train / tram tracks. And also - (I might be wrong) - you can't really tell if he or she is wearing a helmet during all of this. Can you?

Therefore meaning that Pinkbike considers it more dangerous to ride without a helmet than down some train tracks!! By that I mean if someone came up to pinkbike as a whole and said 'should I ride down some train tracks or ride without a helmet?'.... Pinkbike would say 'ride the train tracks!'

Interesting eh!?

Now if I was a parent, I think I'd be a lot more concerned that my kids are going to watch videos and want to ride bikes on train tracks!!! As opposed to them riding without a helmet. Because trains = certain death!


You say?
