Good job. The crank grab and then 180 off the bench was very smooth.

I think you're going to win that OTG super beginner game

your shins are more important than your head

I figured after you set the first trick in the superbeginner game that you were hustling us

I don't really need a helmet because i don't really fall on my head but as you can see my shins REALLY need protection!

One time may be enough but your choice

Ben_Ceyssens · 2012-03-10, 02:49 PM

Never fell on my head either :P. I've been riding for 6 years.

Yeah, I definitely agree.
I don't always wear a helmet (always during muni and trials, sometimes during flat or just riding) Howver I really should wear it always, as, although I didn't learn the hard way, (without a helmet) one of those shells saved my life one time on a bike.

ANYWAys... Great job on the video! Liked the variety (from wheel walk to trial drops) Great Job

Nice vid, but should be in the Videos Forum.

+2. A guy I know while snowboarding w/ friends (never had hit his head before) hit his head after getting all cockeyed on the takeoff of a table top. He was out for nearly 15minutes. The next day they all got helmets.

I always wear one anytime I'm doing anything moderately challenging or on the street. (ie not through my trafficless parking lot to the "park" in my complex to juggle.)

I've had several mild concussions even w/ a helmet (never on a uni) w/o one I bet I would not be able to function normally at the least.

Very impressive, always nice to see girl/women doing what is normally a male sport and you clearly have natural talent.

Not wanting to continue the derailment of your thread back onto the helmet issues but your really should wear one, all these posts from people saying I don't and never crash etc is just crazy and up there with the smokers who do the old "I have / my relative has smoked for x years and is fine".

It may be tomorrow or it maybe in 10 years but you WILL land on your head, a component might fail some one might hit you, your talent will mean you will be pushing for bigger harder tricks which is when you will run out of skill.

When your folks have to visit you in ICU and are crying at your bed I am sure you all will wish you wore a helmet

Maybe it is the father in me with a daughter but I say this out of genuine concern, speaking of which I have always insisted on my kids wear a helmet from day 1 so they think nothing of it (in fact it is strange for them not to wear one) so I am surprised your folks don't also demand you wear one?

I am sure we will all come across as moaning old gits to a 15 year old but it is said with the wisdom of age and concern of a parent

It does seem to be a trial thing to not wear one when the road and Muni rides generally do, but then maybe it is to do with the youth culture that surrounds this sub section like BMX and skate boarding etc

Anyway props on the riding and keep it up and keep posting those videos!
