I'm not a skater/BMX rider doing stunts anyway. If that is your fashion choice, that's cool and all, but I can't see how it would perform any better than a well vented helmet.
It depends on the wreck. Skate and "multi sport" helmets are tougher and rated for repeated impacts but they don't cushion your brain as well.
I definitely bought mine for the watermelon pattern. No apologies. Everyone loves it.
