So for a while I've been in and out of longboarding and just this year I've finally started to kick things into gear. Now as I go around skating I meet families and kids ect who are interested and/or are already into the sport but are very unaware of how just rolling down the street without a helmet is still pretty hazardous. I for one have had first hand experience with this and nearly snapped my neck.
This wasnt an issue for me until I recently went to my favorite spot to skate at SCP (spring creek park). these hills aren't fast but if you don't know what you're doing, you will get hurt and this particular day I went a lot of kids and people my age all with out helmets. Just the thought of one them getting severely hurt and the cops ambulance ect all come. News catches whiff of this and it's San Diego all over again and longboard would be considered a self hazardous sport and more then likely banned. Now please just for the sake of any sport, wear a helmet. Just the realization of the possibilities of what could happen is to great. Support your sport and be safe.
