It’s a style thing (as dumb as that is in practice).

You just don’t look “cool” switch back smithing down hollywoood 16 wearing a helmet.

I skated a ton growing up and it was beaten into you at skateparks how dumb you looked wearing a helmet. No major head injuries but definitely had some close calls. I look back and cringe and how stupid that was.

The "style" thing also applies to BMX - brakeless, no helmet and no knee/elbow pads.

Natural selection is rife.
