Just a reminder ....Wear them
Went for my almost daily ride through hartshorne today, going down the first fast technical section on laurel ridge, a spot I love, someone decided to place a boulder the size of a small tv right on the landing section of a large root I love jumping off. Front tire got stuck, I went flying, grinded upsides down on my head for about 10' and finally came to a stop. Luckily I didn't hit any trees but hit the ground HARD and got a bit dizzy for while.
All scratched up but my pride is more hurt than anything..(well the shower hurt like a mother too )
Long story short, I tended to not wear my helmet growing up and riding, and really just recently started wearing it religiously. I still never felt I would have a bad spill but sometimes there are things out of your control, and I'm pretty sure if I didn't have one on today I'd be in the hospital or worse.
