Who started this thing.... what is cool and what is not? I feel who cares when it will save your life. Some of the pro's of Skateboarders, should be ashamed of themselves, for not promoting safety, and promoting acting like a idot, and acting like they have no rules. Sorry kids but even adults have rules; rules from work, driving and living.
It seems like the folks on the TV have a great life.... But look at all the problems they have. I would hope that all of you reading this know that you are just begging in life, and I would hope that you would want to protect yourself when you are skating, so you can enjoy what you like to do in the future. I know of a couple of teens that got really hurt, and was out of commission for a long time.
So not wearing a helmet is NOT cool, before you do a really cool trick in front of your friends; stop and think, can I really do this? Am I going to end up in an Ambulance. I worry so much about what I see you all doing, please take care and be greedy when it comes to your safety, it could effect the rest of your life.
