I have to wear one for racing so I do for practice and meets. Sometimes I'll wear one just plain skiing. They just arent that comfortable for me.

get one...you'll ride so much better, and push yourself further because you lose the fear of nailing your head. Trust me your riding will improve

Yeah, I ride mine all the time even when I'm not doing anything hardcore because it's just so damn comfortable. Plus I like the feeling of knowing I can't easily crack my skull open on a rail or rock or anything else hard.

I don't like skiing without a helmet. I always feel like I'm gonna wipe out or something.. I think I ski better when I have my helmet on because then I don't have to worry about falling. And I ski faster with it on.

buy one and slip in some headphone drivers into the ear linings and you dont need to bother about no 40$ giro upgrade and you can ride with your music pumping through your helmet.

I always wear a helmet...

It has saved me so many times like when i fuck up a rail and smash my head into the stairs and shit. Plus it's warm and comfy so there's literally no reason to not wear one.

I've been wearing mine since 2000, every time on the hill. I still wear the same old ass boeri, but I just gave it a makeover. Custom paint with a nice high gloss finish. It's saved my knogin more that once.
