I'm not taking any chances. I'll chuck this one (from my vast collection of 5 BMX images) in for now and replace it if I get any better ones before the close date:

I'd have thought that there's a fair bit of overlap between street and park. The riding styles/tricks are quite similar to people like me who don't really do that. Also, if street is a term for stuff done on the streets then surely urban DH would count too.
Anyway, your opinion doesn't matter because you're only a mod. Whereas the forum fuhrer has spoken!

I can't remember if we actually decided to ban helmetless riders on photos (I actually posted one a couple of weeks ago). I've always gone with the policy of pointing it out and criticising, even if it's just to try and annoy people. I'm generally against censorship as a whole and don't feel an outright ban is the best thing. After all, it's not against the law to ride without a helmet - it's just a silly thing to do.
Maybe we could change the vote so that any helmetless rider pics only actually get a half the number of votes they got. That might work.

It's a very difficult subject. I prefer it if the riders are wearing lids but when taking photos, it's very difficult not to take pics of a rider just because he hasn't got a lid with him. I'll allow it this time but if anyone feels that this should not be the case do feel free to set up a debate...

Maybe hold a vote about whether it should be allowed...I don't mind cos obviously my mates ride without helmets when street riding but I still think its a silly thing to do!

i vote no lid no pic as always

i am annoyed, we went for a bit of a street session, but then some guy was like the police are coming, so we had to pack up and get out, no time to get the camera out!

That sucks! That's the problem with urban riding.
