Yeah, wear it all the time, "use" it once. I'd rather wear a bike helmet and be protected for one crash than wear a skate helmet and be protected for no crashes.

I'm wearing a Bell Dirt Jumper; ANSI rated, same mold as a skate helm, different marketing.

**Uncle Frank** · 04-14-2003 07:31 PM

I have always liked the fit of BELL helmets. I have a "scuffle" that I wear for skating and some biking. Thirty bucks and I get to keep my I.Q.

Arh, I'm the rogue supporter of skate helmets! Avast ye if you like bicycle helmets! I'll run you through and then we'll be seeing what good your helmet did ya!

Call your gang "Brain Damage," because if you wipe out going over 30 mph, it feels like wearing "nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all!"

(Yeah, that's a Simpsons reference. Stupid sexy Flanders!)

Skate helmets are only good for skidding, not huge impacts. have it your way; I'll push your wheelchair around!

any one where try out the giro semi?

sort of a combo skate / bike helmet....the site calls it skate inspired design. also it nicely covers the back of the head.

http://www.giro.com/usa/cyc_index.html

i considering buying, so any input appreciated.

It's the same mold as the dirt jumper, and their "ski" helmets. Course, Bell and Giro are the same company now.

**Uncle Frank** · 04-15-2003 05:32 PM

You know, my "bike" helmet is a BMX helmet. you can't really tell the difference from a skate helmet until it saves your life.

**ol'dude** · 04-15-2003 07:25 PM

Check inside for the stickers; ANSI, B90A, Snell.
You got these, you got brains after a smack-down.

Does anyone here use an MX helmet?

**fareast_longboarder** · 04-20-2003 07:29 PM

i wear a helmet all the time.. full face bell rhythm.. breakfast, lunch and dinner... i can't let them get into my brain... i think helmets should be worn 24/7 what u think

**ol'dude** · 04-20-2003 07:30 PM

I use aluminum foil when I'm not skating...

I just yell alot while I walk down the street, and if their mind-rays get too close, I wave my hands arounds violently. My doctor says "wear the helmet," but my method works just as well. And If I'm at the bank or market, sometimes they let me go to the head of the line, or even get helped by the manager.
