That question is ridiculous.  People do/ don't wear helmets regardless of their intelligence.

I only rock one in the park.

to put it bluntly.. dont be a jerk... just because people dont wear helmets doesnt make them dumb... people may not be able to afford them?

Do you have a valid reason? besides the "stupidity".

Edit:My post may have given the impression that I do not support helmets but I was simply refering to xxthrwitdwnxx 's
post above me. I personally do use a helmet.  I was simply trying to point out the ridiculousness/stupidity of the reasoning in xxthrwitdwnxx 's post

its never a bad idea to wear a helmet. i could quite possible be dead or atleast brain dead if i never wore my helmet.

I really wish I could buy my own helmet. I don't feel anymore confident with one on, but I have too much ahead of me to hit my head and fuck things up. I realized how nice a helmet was back last Sunday when I did this rail jam and I ended up not doing a full rotation off a handrailbox and basically smashed my face in to the snow haha. But the helmet kept me from hitting my face so that was awesome.
 
It is a money issue, too. As is a "trying shit on" issue. I would buy a helmet off Ebay, but I'm not quite sure what size I am in terms of helmets, or if the helmet would be too heavy for me (I have a pretty skinny/long neck so I'm pretty sure I can't really support a heavy assed helmet.)

i wouldnt get one off the internet unless you've tried it on or used it first. if your helmet isnt comfortable your not going to want to wear it.

Yeah, exactly. It's really hard to find helmets around here, ironically enough, but maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough. Next season I'm pretty sure I'll invest in a good one.

How is wearing a helmet saying you're a fag? Just because I don't want to go braindead because of some freak accident that could happen to anyone I'm uncool?
 
My mom works at a hospital and has had a lot of people go through there with major head injuries from not wearing a helmet snowboarding. Most people at my hill wear helmets. It's no big deal around here. It's saved my ass a couple times. I've taken some hits that made my head hurt even with the helmet. I can't imagine what would have happened if I hadn't had it on.
f*ck your couch!
