Great pics...but I just cannot help notice the lack of a helmet

 

:oops: :eek:

 

Its not permitted at the trails :lol:

 

If you bail on a dirt jump you land on your feet 9/10, theres not much headcracking boulders on trails and remember time slows down when youre up there, so you just bail your bike and land like a cat. On fast singletrack He always wears a helmet.

 

Im not expecting to win this argument, Just telling you why we do it. :blink:

unless it's the 10th time and your name is Dan Atherton. In which case you break your neck and wear a halo for 6 months. Not that a helmet would have helped though (he was wearing one). Just saying :rolleyes:

Wes, dunno if u followed his progress,but dan's little headstack turned out to be pretty gnarly. Initially it was just the vertebrae fractures, then at the sports rehab place in the US, they picked up skull fractures not previously detected by the UK docs :o

Lucky sod. I see the stack changed his mind about what discipline is best for him. Man's going back into DH.
