I always want to go try out the park across the street from me but there are always a ton of kids there and i am worried my dignity will suffer if i make a fool of myself while the 9 year olds are doing crazy stuff on their bmx bikes and skateboards, and no doubt mock me when i inevitably hit the ground.

So because you crash a lot, he should wear a helmet?

It's one thing to advise some noob kid jumping a board and cinderblock to protect his dome. When the guy obviously has expert level skills, though, it's safe to say he's aware of the risks.

Nice pics zx12, I like the fuf(?) on the bench and the flatty.

umm, check out a show on Fuel TV called Props.
I've started watching it regularly.
I showcases professional BMX stunt riders.. some of the world's best, in fact.. and they wipe regularly doing tricks.
I don't care how good he is. He'll still wreck, and wreck hard now and then.
a little protection can go a long way, but in the end it's his choice.

PS great shots.. post more if you have them!

Do you wear a cup while riding? Consider your answer carefully.

You make it look easy. Very smooth. The helmet nazi's have to chime in, can't help it. So much for land of the free.

You think skaters are bad, what about dudes dropping the "huge gnar" 6' to flat on their DH duallies in full armour. They're like giant roaches all over the park...

OP: Nice pix!
