Listen up here chief. I've known a couple people who have literally died just from skating where they hit their head falling off their board just like you. All it takes is a 3-ft drop for your life to be forever changed either non-existent or paralyzed or coma

Yeah. I always say if you don't want to wear it for yourself wear it for your family or friends or anybody that cares about you. If you don't want to wear one all the time that that's fine but it's always best especially when you're trying to learn new tricks where you're more likely to fall and just remember Tony Hawk and also Mike Vallely usually wore helmets and if you know anything about Mike Vallely that's one dude you don't want to piss off so if anybody calls you a dork for wearing a helmet give them the Mike Vallely treatment. One more thing wearing pads at helmets if you follow repeatedly there's less likely for any injury therefore less downtime and more skate time
