Remember kids... always wear a helmet. (The almighty bikeradar helmet thread)

, my hands are pretty tough and heavily calloused/not very pretty so its no big deal, i've done it plenty of times, years of crashing constantly on my bmx and lifting weights without those gloves that the wimps use have toughened them up :)
I will be wearing a helmet now though,

I don't think they make helmets big enough.
