How the hell is it that after Jimmy and Gary have suffered serious brain trauma no one has learned a damn thing. I think Mike Aitken is a great rider, but wtf. For some reason helmets are acceptable in the park and at the trails, but wearing one on the street is blasphemy. Is bmx really so damn trendy that we have to steal the hard knock image of skateboarding. To be honest it is hard to even feel bad for people who get a brain injury and have a fund raiser in their honor when they could of simply put on a helmet instead of being a slave to a stupid image. I'm sure I'm preaching to the quire being that this forum is mainly 26" riders or at least converts, but I just felt like venting.
