Does anybody here ride flat?
It seems most of you guys here ride street/park/trail but nobody is a flatland rider. Am I alone?
And just a random question, who all rides without a helmet (unless of course you are doing ramps and stuff)? Cause I never do when I'm riding (although it might be the law in my area to always wear a helmet, I'm not sure
).

I don't rock a helmet. Nor do I ride flat.
EDIT: Cwt, do you listen at all?

Yes, he does. Maybe he's the only intelligent one out of us.

Ah OK so I'm good. I've heard that at least in this part of CA you are required to wear a helmet whenever riding anywhere except for on private property. I think that is stupid. And when I'm just riding around I always ride the side walks even though they have a bike lane (which, I come to think of it, might also be illegal). CA laws are sucky.

I never ride with a helmet anymore unless I'm trying to learn something in a concrete park. Hell, the other day I came down and bounced (literally, bounced) my head off of my ramp when my bike shot out from under me. It made a pretty cool sound, to bad my ears rang for almost an hour afterwards.

I don't ride BMX yet, but I don't wear a helmet on the rodie or the fixed gear. Ever. I don't plan to wear one once I get my father's old BMX set up either.

most times, I ride with a helmet.
My GF worked with clients that suffered traumatic brain injuries...pretty much scared me into wearing one.

I wear a helmet sometimes... Usually when I'm riding a concrete bowl.

I feel more confident when I've got it on, and I tend to try and learn alot harder stuff.
