Hey peeps i know this story has f*ck all to do with dh or freeride but there is a message n it. Well its hit me any after my night of work.

Tonight i went to work like every other wednesday (tesco dot com driver) 7pm to 11pm and at around 9.15pm i was out in the sticks in berkeley. After finding the farm i was looking for and they had there shopping, i was driving back when i saw some guy in the middle of the roar with some shit heap of a bike on top of him. I jumped out of the van and i have never seen so much blood in my life it was every where. After making some kinda bandage out of my coat and calling 999, i noticed that all he had done was sidded on a patch of gravel. After the amberlance game they removed my coat to have a look and i was shocked at the split/hole in his head. Just makes me think about the amount of times i've gone for a play in the woods with out one or i have just forgot it but still went for it. Not any more. Sorry to bore anyone just made me think thats all.

Last time I thought about not wearing a helmet was a a couple seasons ago snowboarding, but I decided too anyways. Good thing too, because I fell on a rail and got a concussion with it on, there was a purple line in the middle of my vision and it was faulted ( I was seeing things lower with my right eye). After that I've never debated on wearing a helmet.

I can probably imagine your feeling alot of shock after being the first one on the scene and seeing the wounds.
