im probobly gonna enter. not gonna have crazy dh runs or tech slides but whatever. it will be small hills, freeriding, and a little bit of dancing sprinkled in.

is it ok if i only use retro wheels for like one or two shots? also if my dog isnt whering a helmet while riding will i be disqualified? i got a shot of her already and remembered that everyone had to be wearing a helmet. i dont think shes gonna be to stoked on wearing a helmet.

lol if original did that knowone would enter. abec 11/retro/pink etc. are much more widely used products.

Alright, this no helmet rule is getting really ####### annoying because its forcing me to omit half of my footage, and its good ####### footage.

Theyre just trying to promote safety.

Oh and Helmet Nazi's, do not even think about giving me ####, because I will #### on you. I wear a helmet whenever I am doing anything other than cruising, so its not me that's the problem. My friends are over 18 and have the right to wear or not wear a helmet, and there is nothing you can say or do about it. They NOW have helmets but in some clips they just weren't wearing them.......and that happened to be the best footage.

It just annoys me that this rule is going to really ruin my video, when my video is going to be pretty damn good. It'll just have a lot more of the annoying 3rd person GoPro footage I guess.

You can refilm it, and you not wearing a helmet is your decision and your problem. You chose to enter into this contest, you read the rules, hopefully, so you are in no position to complain about shots of you not wearing a helmet.

and that's only the beginning...

**osulongboarder13** · 11-19-2009 09:07 PM

I don't know why people are complaining about wearing a helmet. I know from experience that it can save a life. I got a concussion before starting to wear one and after it saved my life. Get over it and don't die. Then there will be no one to spread the stoke if everyone is dead.

And if you have to go make new footage for the contest because you aren't wearing a helmet, then go shred some gnar one weekend with a helmet and have great footage!

People ##### too much...

**Mike Altenhofen** · 11-19-2009 09:23 PM

Ok, from now on, lets just stop ranting; I had my fair share. Lets start posting up our videos and spreadin the stokesauce on the bread!

Yea sorry about starting this guys, honestly didn't think people would respond to my rant.......but I should've known better. Well I'm going to do what the guy did above me and just get footage of me taken by my GF (sucks for the people who are gonna get replaced by me but oh well).

and btw guys I WHERE A HELMET AND PROMOTE IT (i'm just sick of hearing wear a helmet, it gets annoying), the guys I skate with OCCASIONALLY don't......just had to clear that up

And my video should be ready next week, halfway through editing so woo-hoo. Just gotta replace a few shots and add 2 minutes worth of video and i'll be done. Then I play with some effects (my video editor has a myriad of them so I can play around a bit) and enhance it b/c it does that for me and then it'll be here.

This is the most bi-polar forum on the internet.
