Title: Helmets..
Post by: HEYWOOD BMX on April 25, 2010, 03:49 PM

 At RVR/Heywood track this morning,one of our staff asked a kid why he wasn`t wearing a lid.His response was "I`ve got a fullface but I`m not allowed to wear it at the track in case I scratch it." :crazy2: What chance do we have with teaching track safety with parents like that?

most parents are clueless and/or cofused about bike safety ie
child wearing helmet but wearing slip on croc shoes ,sandals  :wtf:
all safety equipment but fooked bike with forks on wrong way round :wtf:
all possible permutations of the above have been spotted within one hour at Yeadon track. :wtf:

i even told one bloke that his kids bikes forks were on the wrong way yet he still let him ride it,he was wearing a helmet though :LolLolLolLol: :wtf:

HELMETS RULE if you ask me.

I would have had a messy face and a lot of concussion the other day without one...

But... on the other hand... f I wasn't 38 my Dad may well have bolloked me for doing this to it though...  :angel:

thursday night at hersden gate practice a young kid came off in front of me and Kai, no gloves, pizza rash on his hands, even for gates me and kev had the full shit on, Lid,armour,gloves.
yeah i know that nearly 30 yrs ago we didn't wear lid's all the time, but we wore gloves and tracks were dirt but even so i still fooked a shoulder that gives me grief now
prehaps it's cos i'm older but i look at a track and put the kit on nowdays and if my girls raced then so would they, hell i make them wear a lid to go to the shops even if they think it aint cool  :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
