He must be riding round like a big lady man if he only ever falls on his bum.
If he was racing it and came off the bike flys 20ft into a tree and you roll down the mountain.

Done it before, doing it again. I'll try and get some action shots of me. Oh and trust me, no piss is being taken. I'm not saying all this to be big and clever. I just don't like having things on my head.

You won't like having a head then if you fell off properly.
I've seen a website that studied the damage of helmets when falling off. Someone had a pretty slow crash, i.e. on the road, going about 10mph and a hedge branch got caught in their wheel. They fell off, landed on their head and completely smashed the helmet to bits.
If they didn't have the helmet on, it would have been their skull, end of.
If you come to Chicksands and you're not wearing a helmet, you will get told to leave and prevented from riding.
And helmets these days are very comfortable, not like the old shit I used to wear when riding my bike when 7.
There's no excuses imho.

Same here Deano, ride Cli-machX / Nant Y Arian / Coey Y Brenin / Brechfa without a helmet and you will get a good telling off or just get called a wanker

off topic, but i rememeber when i was a little kid about 10 or something, me and my mates rode into some woods to find this 'awesome' place everyone used for bike stuff.
it was just like a massive crater in the middle of the woods, like a huge bowl with loads of dips and lumps in the middle. So people would come down the side into it with speed, then hit the ramps etc.
We went in had some fun and then couldn't physically get out we were only little kids, weak, short and unable to carry our heavy bikes back out
even with 2 of us trying to carry 1 bike the slopes were too steap for us
thankfully some bigger kids helped us out
Just a random related story

Sounds like Woburn Paul, but I very much doubt it considering where you live

er? what do you mean? my home is really rural, surrounded by fields, woods, parks etc.
I don't actually live in slough by the way. I live above it about 5-10 miles, but no one knows where that is.

But if you land wrong with a helmet on you could snap your neck. Dead. Either way, you'll have a headache in the morning.
25 miles to go till we're there.
