Man, I wonder how all those guys back then kept from smashing their skulls open riding without helmets. I have lost count of the times I have whacked my head on rocks and what have you all, thankfully with a helmet on. I remember riding trials events in a soft cap, but it's a wonder I didn't brain myself! Thank goodness for big brother making us wear helmets, thus ushering in their "coolness." Thanks for the awesome pic by the way. Very cool! J :hyper:
