I mean why do you need a helmet anyway when riding loamy terrain, it's proven that your head will simply bounce on the moss

Then go ride head first into the ground and prove it. I'm sure it will just bounce off. No worries haha.

Fiodor2six (Jan 5, 2013 at 4:44)

people riding without helmets give mountain bikers a bad name :L even you Brendan Fairclough !!!

robcampbell (Jan 8, 2013 at 14:28)

he could of atleast put a neckbrace on if he isn't going to wear a helmet! how stupid!

turtlesauce2000 (Jan 9, 2013 at 1:24)

You do know that doing that would injure him more? If you have a neckbrace on and no helmet you are 10 times more prone to breaking your neck. Thats why if you ever stop to look at the track and you take your helmet off, you should unclip your neck brace aswell so your head can roll normally.

robcampbell (Jan 9, 2013 at 4:20)

im aware of dis issue, just trollin!

MingMtnMedia (Jan 4, 2013 at 11:22)

Pod oh wait :poop:

danyul (Jan 4, 2013 at 11:44)

You can add the helmet in Photoshop! ...and some gloves. haha

toybikes (Jan 4, 2013 at 15:24)

Haha, cue the no helmet abuse.....

dustingilding (Jan 4, 2013 at 16:30)

oh shut the hell up who is anybody to say what anybody should be doing

stepupcycles (Jan 5, 2013 at 10:58)

No one but it would still be nice to see those who are promoting the sport to others being safe in doing so.

joe701 (Jan 9, 2013 at 5:25)

He's clearly not scared so why are you

stepupcycles (Jan 9, 2013 at 12:11)

Im not. It would be nice to see pro's like him wearing helmets though. They are there to save lives and DH is not a forgive full sport if you crash (trust me i learnt that the hard way!)
