I can tell you that I wouldn't be sitting here typing right now if I had not chosen to wear a helmet at certain times.

Thanks everyone I'm glad you all liked it. and if there is one more comment about my helmet then fuck you. I'll do what I want.
Dom is right. A few months back I ate shit so hard 8 stitches and headaches everyday since then, if if I wasn't wearing a helmet I would not be on vertx right now and I CANNOT fall on it again.

Edit: Ronnie message me on Facebook I'll give you my number

I always thought Bennett was pretty smart. But c'mon... Helmets not being useful? Maybe it's because you are high, but helmets definitely protect. The plastic and foam absorb shock which cause trauma to your head. It won't make you invincible, but reducing the amount of shock your head takes could be the difference between a knock out and a vegetable.

Ben, you shred now. So much props.

I've had 4 concussions, 2 from fights, 2 from sports. I cut open my ankle down to the bone riding, my teeth are knocked back permanently by a 1/3rd of an inch, and my neck has been screwed up since I was 7 and went too hard while tubing. Guess what, what happens is what happens. Helmets don't protect you from much once you hit anything above 20 miles an hour, nor do they prevent neck injuries (what kills you). Helmets don't save your life, they are simply a feeling of security and nothing more.

Also, having a brain tumor and wearing a helmet are completely unrelated, slamming a tumor wouldn't kill the cancer victim, it would just... well... squish the tumor.


(For the record, having a brain tumor for 5 years with no knowledge of it is one of the most absurd things you can possibly hear, brain tumors are some of the most prevalent and noticeable in the cancer family. Infact living more than a year with a brain tumor and knowing about it, but having to surgery to remove it, is an impressive feat. If this is true your friend should be on the news as "the luckiest mother fucker alive")

that is probably the stupidest thing I've ever heard anyone say. Helmets do save lives actually, dumbass ask Spicy he would've been dead if it weren't for helmets. Go 360 el toro without a helmet, land on your head and split your head open, see how that feels. If it weren't for my helmet, my 6 stiches to the forhead would've turned into many more and my head to be split open completely.

And Ben, this was soooo good; great job man keep up the good work!

It seems like you've hit your head a couple of times.

That was a sick video Ben, you are really good at gaps.
