Alright......I have a question for you guys. A bunch of kids around my area(a few classes younger than I)......are always in competition with me and a buddy. Well me and my buddy, just take it slow and do things right.....and smoke them when they least expect it(but that's another story)......so.....they guys are to "cool" type. They are now all too cool for quads.....and think only pussies ride quads(they ride moto's now)......well anyways.....when they ride, no matter where, they always seem to just put on their helment and go.....no strapping it....What is with this trend?? I figure they put the strap on there for a reason, right? Anyone have any insight to this?


I have 2 examples that should lead them to strapping it.....and they still don't.....1st....when riding in the dunes one of their uncles came over a dune, and it was peaked hard....he flew almost clear to the bottom, and basically landed on the front tires of the quad.....and his helment hit the handlebars....well he ended up with a big gash across his nose from the nose piece hitting it(wouldn't have happened, or near as likely to happen, if the strap was on)......2nd......one of these guys just recently hit a tree with his bike, going pretty fast.....well his helment slamed into his nose, and broke it......same story......

 

if your wearing a helmut without it straped on...you might *** well just put a hat on...they have a strap...use it
