having said that can someone explain to me what the story is with street bmx riders and their aversion to helmets? maybe its connected to the fact that its a street sport and it's not "cool" to be seen wearing a helmet. but these guys are hucking huge gaps and drops while spinning, tricking etc without any protection alot of the time - and all this in a mostly concrete environment...
Another angle could be some dudes haven't suffered a nasty enough head thumping crashes to consider it. Lacey seems to appreciate the fact that riding at the level that he does comes at a price. Helmets may not (yet) weigh in.
Still, though, V. Young and V. Homan went through their share of head bump issues, where both wear a helmet all the time. But, both started in on that when got a little older.
Van's section in Criminal Mischief... Yeah no helmet required... Animal
So maybe it's age. (Dude below called out the helmetless as idiots... D Lacey ain't no idiot Brah.)
Not wearing a helmet is an extension of personal confidence that you wouldn't put yourself into a situation where you are THAT confident in your ability and judgement to gauge risk. And ofcourse there's the possibility when there's that one fateful day when maybe conditions aren't right, maybe you're not feeling your best, and boom - you smack your head. - BUT - Please stop thinking that just because they aren't wearing a helmet that its because there's some cool factor involved, because there's not. People that don't wear helmets don't care at all if you choose to wear one, it's your choice, so please stop caring if they do (or don't) because they genuinely don't care if you do or don't.

Kris Fox, on an 8 transition, may hold the title. Dude's rides his bike...
Whatever it is, he has "it"!!!
