I was on another bike site.. (yes i know i should never wander from the monkey)
anyways there were pics of cool jumps the built and guys with no helmets jumping..
a few ppl on there mentioned the no helmet. and then one idiot mentions that maybe the guys without the helmets can just put them on for the photos next time and take them off when the photos are done. this way the "family friendly" bike website does show no helmets..
So of course I had to rant how that its not the point....who gives a sh*t about the website( cause its not ridemonkey :biggrin maybe the point should be helmets save lives. I lost a family friend when he went down on a paved bike path . he swerved to avoid a little kid who wandered off, his front tire wiped out and he hit his helmetless head.. needless to sayt he is no longer with us.
and i also mentioned about the other kids watching these guys doing all these tricks at the park and then thinking if the guys dont wear helmets why should they...
it just bugs me
sorry for the rant..
am I wrong or just being grumpy maybe..??
it has been a rough day..
