To wear or not to wear, that is the question.

Helmets that is. I hear about concussions, busted ear drums, headaches, etc., yet I never see pics of people with helmets on. Confused

Is the helmet just not needed unless you are doing some hellish tricks or sliders? or is it just more cavalier to ride without one.......breakin' the law, breakin' the law! Twisted Evil

people usually wear them when they are hitting sliders, but some wear them all the time...it's personal preferance.

They are a must on sliders and kickers but most people don't wear them for normal boarding. I would recommend It If you are going huge like Pros and falling alot, but If your working on basic wake jumps and stuff, I don't think one is necessary.

wearing a helmet while boarding is a law in TX? i personally dont think a person needs to wear one if theyre not hitting rails/kickers. concussions and boards to the head are just part of the experience.

Nope, It's not.

wear one if your hitting sliders thats all IMO, unless you need a confidence boost for trying something new

thats good. thatd be really disturbing if it was a law. like lake patrol doesnt have enough rules to throw at us. Razz

lol...wearing a helmet isn't a law in Texas.....the breaking the law thing was just a reference to doing something "wild and crazy"............didn't mean to imply an illegality.

Normally I would say no because it is going to be in the 60's, but since I have seen all those northern boys going out there in damn near freezing temps.....I may bundle up and take a shot at it if the wind isn't too bad.........You interested?
