Elmira teen killed in BMX crash
In my opinion, we cant blame him for not using a helment. This kid was riding at a really high level, I am really sure that he was probablly riding every day. When you ride the same park or same dirts every day (or many times a week) for weeks or even years, you get so confident with yourself and so confident in the spot, that you just stop using a helment, because you know what you are doing in the park. The jumps and the stuff he was doing might seem really dangerous for you, but maybe not dangerous for him, because of his level and because he was doing this almost every day, so its like a rutine. I would imagine that he would have used a helment when he rode in a new spot or something. I am sure that most of you, also rode withought a helment sometime. Rest in peace Luke.
