JoshK Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 "HELMETS REQUIRED AND ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED." Helmets are strongly recommended, not that it matters, since they are also required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelawgoddess Posted January 21, 2003 Author Share Posted January 21, 2003 you know, there *is* a difference between "required" and "strongly recommended" ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshK Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Yes, but it seems if they are *required* then strongly recommending them makes little difference, since you'll have to wear one if you like it or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toast Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Translation: Helmets required... if you wonder why, you're and idiot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceclimer Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 I saw a great add for Bell helmets once. The ad read " It's what separates the men from the organ donors" It had a cool pic. of a dude dropping off a ledge on his mountain bike. Anyway.. thought it was a cool ad.

Toast Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 I dunno, I don't have a helmet yet either. I want one... but it'd be more for Sonny Bono trees that anything else. Dude, I've some sooo close to splatting my head on trees. Course, rocks hurt too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelawgoddess Posted January 21, 2003 Author Share Posted January 21, 2003 ... THE BELL HELMET SAVED ME LIFE!! umm ... didn't you just say you never wore a helmet? or are you just saying that you deem dirt-biking more dangerous than big mountain freeriding?

YOU THINK HITTING A TREE WHILE SKIING IS TOUGH ON YOURSELF......... It's all calculated to skill and balls just like anything else. Well if you're a lady then not balls but guts Skiing and biking can both be dangerous. It's the participater in each event that will determine which is more.
