I never try anything I can't do so I never hurt my knees. But a helmet is good for backflips and stuff. Not for street.

How do you progress or learn anything then?

And I don't usually wear a helmet, it's getting small, but I should, and will invest in a decent comfy one for this year I think.

And on the subject of kneepads, I can't find a pair that allow me the right amount of movement, are protective enough on a big fall, and don't dig in to my knees, since I stopped wearing them, I bail less painfully as I tend to struggle more to not hurt myself lol, so I tend to roll, or land on my hands coz I wear gloves.

I pretty much always wear a helmet, i look kinda stupid with goggles and a hat.. but then again i look stupid with goggles and a helmet too.
haha, while watching your video my friend said something like:"oh this guy is definitely a snowboarder, he wears his snowboard-mask even when he rides scooter...yay cool!"

I don't wear any protection I feel myself uncomfortable while wearing it.... tho sometimes this fucking kneebuster make me fell myself more uncomfortable, usually when I land something to fakie.

i never think much of helmets cause i dont wear them but they could completely change your life cause you could become like mentally retarded by hitting your head.
