I brought DiGBMXMagazine (July/Aug06 issue) and hardly any lids in sight (certainly no full face, apart from Mat Hoffman in an Nass06 advert).
When I went to the local skate park 2day for the first time, I had me full face and one of the skateboarders told me that no one wears lids there, which kinda puts you off wearing one if there's a crowd about . Doesn't seem 'cool' to wear one.

not like yours anyway bill...

I don't really remember seeing anyone over Rom wear a lid though, unless there were photographers there. They did crack down on it for a while after some kid 'apparently' came off on the race track at the side and hit his head on an earth compactor and died. I never did know if that was true or not or if it was one of those stories you hear. There was another story I used to hear a lot over there about some guy called Crazy Legs who cleared the lamp post coming out of the bowl on a borrowed Torker and snapped it in half. Anyone ever hear that one before?

crazy legs was in action bike one time. there was a feature on him, doing massive jumps! at rom i think.

i remember bitd that nobody used helmets at southsea.
the only ones that used them were either in the bowl or the kids that had hired bikes out from the park.

Same here , Inever saw ahelmet at soutsea unless it was a demo or someone in the keyhole.
