You are right. Thinking back, even dirt jumping in videos he would have a full face on.
Nothing to do with helmets but I have always found BMX a weird area of cycling. All areas of cycling have the fashion influence but BMX, maybe because alot of teenagers are into it always seemed extremely fashion swayed. Take now for instance in bike parts. Most companies all seem to make bikes that are more or less the same, a dirt bike from one company seems the same as one from another, there seems to be less variation compared to other areas of cycling. It's amazing how unpopular front brakes are now despite people like Rob Ridge showing how they can be put to good use.
I think the guy on this blog makes a point about many of these things http://sprfls.blogspot.com/.
