Sure I may look like an idiot wearing one but at least I know I'm not going to wind up as a vegetable, or even dead just to look cool

oddly enough, i have 3 helmets sitting in my gear bag.
I kept picking them up after my favorite helmet got stolen out of my car a few years back.
I used to wear them religiously when Protec made the silver chrome helmets in 97-98....used to wear one everyday, and everywhere.
Then i finally got a new one, and oddly enough, after it got stolen from my car, i refused to wear it.....got a couple given to me, and went and bought another helmet last summer, but only wear it when i need to for park sessions.
i blame no one for that, but myself.
