Helmet makes me bolder!
Maybe a helmet wasn't such a good idea. It's probably good to keep the old brains intact, but wearing safety equipment sure does make me bolder. I rode for a few years as a teenager and resumed a couple of months ago after a 25 year hiatus - but only for 1 day now with a helmet. The worst 2 spills I've had since I've been riding were this morning - that nice kind of spill where you skid a little before you come to a halt. Boy howdy - now it's time to get a trials unicycle! -- psbagumba ------------------------------------------------------------------------ psbagumba's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15848 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65757 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

If the helmet makes you bolder, just wait until you strap on the leg & arm armor and wrist guards! I don't know if they make me any bolder, but I am more cautious without them. -- UniBrier Steve Hop Drop & Roll “If something is to hard to do, then it's not worth doing.

Wearing a helmet makes me look like a total loser who has no friend and who will die yesterday, so I wear one one all the time when I ride!  -- thejdw I didn't spell it wrong, you just read it wrong! kington99 wrote: A hobnob is an oaty biscuit, the fact that they don't exist in america just goes to show that you have no culinary heritage  don't follow Jesus, follow me! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ thejdw's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13230 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65757 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Not wearing a helmet makes me look like a total loser, especially when I'm rolling on the ground, clutching my head and screaming in pain. So what if a helmet makes you bolder? It makes you less prone to dying from a head injury as well, I think the two cancel each other out.  -- Beaver1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beaver1's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14666 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65757 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Helmet makes me bolder!
I wasn't wearing a helmet the other day while bombing around on my trials uni. I almost hit my chin off of a retaining wall that I was trying to hop onto. A regular bike or skateboard-style helmet wouldn't have helped me in that case, unfortunately. Maybe some positive peer pressure would make me don a helmet, but I haven't felt the need for one. I'm only 18. My survival instinct hasn't fully kicked in yet. -- unisteve harper wrote: Don't listen to that cracker.

After a few things started going wrong with my body it's like I started reading actuarial tables for excitement. Bad things can happen on a unicycle. A lot of those bad things are scary, but nothing scares me more than brain damage. -- psbagumba ------------------------------------------------------------------------ psbagumba's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15848 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65757 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com
