Captain Scarlet Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 (edited) Heres a quick question for everyone here.When you ride, do you wear a helmet?, and also do you wear it everytime you go out on your bike? or just when you go out for a long ride?I wear mine everytime I'm on my bike, never ride a bike without one. But also I really dislike seeing good riders without one.Over the years, silly comments like "Take out the helmet you pussy!", have just become a second nature to me.I wear mine all the time, because I have had a biking related head injury, that almost cost me my life.What is everyone elses opinion on this?

adam trials Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 i always wear a helmet as you can buy a new helmet but you cannot buy a new head lol trials will get bigger in my opinion if more people start wearing helmets and going bigger when people are watching. if you get a load of chavs shouting at you for wearing a helmet just tell them something like well when i wear it i go bigger, they are chavs, they believe every word you say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushby207 Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 i have to say, i don't own one.i have never found one that fits. they all seem to get in the way and make me feel uncomfortable. saying that i've never dropped more than 6ft and ican't gap at all. i guess if i could find a good quality, well fitted and comfortable helmet then i'd get better quicker.does it give you a confidence boost? and can you recomend a good make or web site?

TSG are always good, they protect your head, you can crash more than once without replacing it and they only cost £30. They have the added advantage of not making you look like an XC riding nancy boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gianttrials Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 hi, i wear a helmet but not as often as i should, but reading feedback makesme think i should wear it whenever i'm on my trials bike.thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebelistic Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 I always wear a helmet when doing trials - it's saved me a few times now.I nearly always wear knee/shin pads too - I just feel like I'm going to whack my knee if I don't.

Greetings Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Didn't wear one for a couple of years but recently got into trials properly and now I always wear one unless I'm just playing around on palets in my garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
