I will never wear a helmet, EVER!

You can't make me, nobody can make me.  I will defy anyone that tries to make me wear a helmet.  Helmets are for wimps and little kids.  Helmets look stupid.  Guys who wear helmets will never get a girlfriend because they look silly with that big piece of plastic on their heads. 

You are slacking in your old age. Helmet bashing threads were a couple of months ago. You are loosing your touch, you used to be cutting edge.  

I'm bringing it back.

What about one of those hats that looks like you're sporting  a Mohawk ? Would you wear one of those ?

Phil's right. It's like you showed up at Retro Long Board Day with some 190's from 2005. We wore out a truckload of helmet threads way back when the spring snow was approaching it's peak.

Ancient topic indeed.  I have a more apropos question for you Chaos..

Bar up, or bar down?

Good one.  However, it is summer.....Lycra or baggy bike shorts?  Don't be polite.
 

Lars smells the bait. Looks like it might be a plastic worm with some kind of bait spray on it.

Swims away looking for something that at least wets the appetite. (not enough chum in the water)

For male riders who don't race the choice should be easy.  For female riders I'm on the fence.  Similar to bikini bottom or boardshorts.  At the end of the day I'd say a blanket baggie shorts/boardshorts policy would be progressive and humane.  Maybe people could apply for an attire permit from some yet-to-be created governmental agency to help regulate personal decisions in this area...

can we quote telerod15??

we have a fairly well established beer league dress code at my hill.  It says, and I paraphrase, if your girth in CM is more than 1/2 the length of your GS skis, (3/4 your SL skis) you are not allowed to wear spandex as an outerlayer in public.  goes for either sex.

Lars knows bait. In fact every Lars I have ever known knew bait or had a familiarity with bait that seemed a second sense.

Lars ,do you wear Lycra with the bar up or does the bar come up because you're wearing Lycra ?

It's nearly summer and if you can't chum your chums then you might as well go Golfing.

C,ya

Chaos, I'm all in favor of you not wearing your helmet.  I can always use another adaptive student.  Although those with traumatic brain injuries tend to have a bunch of behavioral problems too.

[/irony off]

Seriously, I've seen one too many traumatic brain injuries (TBI) that could have been prevented by something as simple as a helmet.  The effects of a TBI are permanent.  The recovery period is long.  The physical therapy is difficult.  The personality changes are gut wrenching.  The effect on family and friends are heart breaking.

So, make an informed decision.  Consider the effects your decisions will have on others.  Take the risks you are willing to take.  Be ready and willing to live with the consequences.

Hopefully it is "catch and release". 

OMG

Hook, Line and Sinker.

Had hat hair, helmet hair; does spandex hair come in colors? 

A nice puce could be better than the gray.

In all seriousness, and not to insult what you do, but I'd rather have a TBI and a few behavioral problems then look like a butt wipe with a big chunk of plastic on my head.  Guys with TBI and even downs syndrome people have more of a chance of scoring with a hot chick than dudes with those lame helmets on. 

  No double standards now!    Do you look at the hotties wearing Tupperware with a chinstrap? 

You use head injuries as a pick-up technique often?

Tried the head injury thing in high school.  Hugged a tree at a fair clip one New Years Eve.  The date was very unimpressed.  I think it was all the stitches in the face.

The Hair Club For Men doesn't recommend helmets for its members  As Supreme King of that club he'd be setting a bad example for the other members by wearing one.

People who don't were helmuts are not too bright.  They are easy to knock down or knock out.  That is because they don't wear heulmuts.  It would be funny if someone knocked you out and you woke up wearing a helmet.

I bet you don't wear any proktectun and will die of some social disease.

No, that was his essay on the correlation of homosexual tendencies and non-circumcision innuendo as it relates to ski gear.  He said that he loves it when dudes just pull their neck gaiters up over their heads to keep warm and he said " It's totally hawt and it keeps you cozy but it can get a bit smelly" he went on to say "It makes me wanna turn around and go switch."

Um, according to Chaos, this means that any man wearing a helmet is too sensitive to their feminine side????...DoWork....I am considering a light pink hounds tooth shell jacket this winter....goes great with my flat black helmet!  I must do something with those blue boots though.......
