Yes I agree, I was shocked when Dad said people watch to see the falls - I certainly never do.

Yes... actually quite scary in the past few years to see the number of riders in the parks who think it's cool to have the helmet straps undone / very loose...

If you're going to bother with a lid, do the bloody straps up! :twisted:


This is a good point Admin.

Airhead park and pipers are so desperate to follow the latest fashion of wearing the helmet perched like a pea on a mountain above some branded headwear that they forget it is actually worn as a safety feature!!!

You forget most of them are contractually obliged to show off said brand, not that it should change matters of course

Maybe the marketing/advertising men should re-think how they show their branding off?

I'm talking about the average airhead Park 'n Piper Tony. The pros are beyond redemption, setting trends that put contractual obligations/marketing before safety. :!:
