Helmets: Do you wear one? Why? When?
Ok I sometimes ride my unicycle with or without a helmet, I personaly do not like helmet for they are big, bulky, and quite uncomfortable. But I must admit it has saved a few minor and major injuries in the past. When I'm in public I won't wear one I'll just wear my hat, but if I'm not in public and no one is around I'll wear one, but it depends wear I am, so just in case I will bring one. So what do you think of this industrial protective peice of gear? Do you wear one? Why? When? -- RedUnicycleRider I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Helmets: Do you wear one? Why? When?
I always wear one after an instance practicing from flat stuff which I thought I wouldn't get hurt. I had my helmet on because it was new and I wanted to wear it, I go to leg wrap and I slip backwards and smacked my head agaisnt the ground. Luckly I had my helmet on but other then that it gives me a lot of confidence when I'l doing trials, so I wear it 99% of the time I'm on the unicycle. -- adjuggler ----------David--------- _661 (\"sixsixone.com\")_ '(Youtube Page)' (http://www.youtube.com/user/ADJuggler) '(Vimeo)' (http://www.vimeo.com/adjuggler) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adjuggler's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16889 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71918 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Helmets: Do you wear one? Why? When?
I almost always wear one - but it has never saved me from any injury. My wrist / palm protectors have saved me many times and my leg/knee armor has also saved me (metal pinned pedals bite hard). So, while my helmet is less important (from the point of view that it has never prevented an injury) it protects the most important part of me. There is an old saying that applies to any protective gear, "I would rather wear it and not need it rather than to need it while not wearing it". -- Kerv ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kerv's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16295 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71918 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Helmets: Do you wear one? Why? When?
I only wear a helmet when I ride muni. Muni is pretty dangerous. I only wear a helmet for trials when im riding a demo or a competition and I have to due to insurance etc. -- Eddbmxdude "I guess it's just a good thing you didn't include the footage of us snorting cocaine from the thighs of prostitutes eh Edd." - Boogie If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room!

Helmets: Do you wear one? Why? When?
Any time I'm doing something other than basic riding, hopping, and idling I wear it. Its too easy to do major damage to your head WITH a helmet on, that not wearing one just seems silly. -- oneisenough Plaeze x-cuze mi spelin' (If its wrong) 'Youtube' (http://www.youtube.com/user/RookieFilming) 'Vimeo' (http://www.vimeo.com/user496125) The UniSLAB wrote: Go big or go home, don worry about those little clown tricks called flips and wrap arounds.

Helmets: Do you wear one? Why? When?
I wear a helmet any time I'm "on a ride," which means that I'm out in my kit on the road or trail for the sole purpose of putting away some miles. If I'm just going to work (or another similar 3-5 minute destination) in my street clothes or something, then I usually won't put the helmet on, but sadly, that doesn't keep me from trying to ride fast. I'm probably a bigger danger to myself just riding between close places than when I'm out on a ride, because I don't take the necessary safety precautions. -- chuckaeronut Uni to work to eat to live to uni to work to...! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chuckaeronut's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14677 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71918 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Helmets: Do you wear one? Why? When?
I dont wear a helmet when I'm practicing tricks on flat up to a 3 set. when I do trials, grind a handrail, do some big set etc. I wear one. I always wear shinpads unless practicing flatland, freestyle, or consistency on the easier flip tricks. -- surfer1024 *)--SmallSpin-'O,* 1st Place)---hickflip-'O, Latest Vid: I wish I had 2 cents #f5f5f5 http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70608 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ surfer1024's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13733 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71918 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
