If it’s one piece of equipment you should be able to trust your life with it is your helmet! Straight up, I would have died ten times over if I chose to ride with a skate style helmet (a.k.a. brain bucket). Whatever convenience it may offer is not worth your life. Respecting the dangers and challenges that BMX offers.... Gear up like a warrior to take them on. That is what is hardcore to me. You don’t have as much option to bail with out hitting your head on a bike. You have to take it. The same ‘slam physics’ on a skateboard don’t apply on a bike. Bikes are Gnarly...The Gnarliest. RESPECT the dangers by getting a good Full-Face helmet. It’s a lot cooler to live to tell about your slam.
