Nobody wants to see graphic pictures (okay maybe somebody does) of torn up dirt bike riders who didn't have the guts to wear their helmet. Lets just say its not always very pretty or fun. Riding is an awesome sport...this said there is no reason why you can't be cool and still wear a helmet...right? Don't worry you'll probably still get a few cool scars to show the girls and maybe even a couple concussions to
reminisce about (if you can remember) but at least you'll still be alive to brag about all the cool jumps.
My husband, who is an excellent rider, always wore his helmet. He still has it and all of his brains inside his head. Be cool, be smooth, be smart- always wear your helmet!
