What skaters said on Reddit
Mike V is a bad ass and he wears a helmet [VIDEO]
To answer your helmet question: most people don't wear helmets if they're skating "street" or doing tricks on flat ground. But "vert" skaters on big ramps or bowls will almost always wear helmets, kneepads, etc. You really don't want to hit your head if you're dropping-in to a 3-meter-high ramp. There are a decent number of skaters who just always wear a helmet, though. Mike Vallely [VIDEO] is pretty well-known for it.
"This is for me a natural evolution of who I am, as a street skater." -Mike Vallely on wearing a helmet [VIDEO]
he's trying to be a positive influence in the skate world by wearing one, trying to get it more acceptable. I respect him for it. [VIDEO]
