I just started riding about 3 weeks ago and always wear a helmet. At first I didn’t think much about it until the other day riding Troy University Dothan Trail and came to a 90 degree turn around a tree and ran head first into the tree. [u:x783y22o][i:x783y22o](By the way the tree didn’t move)[/i:x783y22o][/u:x783y22o] Helmet saved me a trip to the hospital or possibly the grave. It all happened so quick, at first I didn’t know what happened. Had a little headache but was better that stitches or brain damage. I am a firm believer in wearing a helmet on all rides.
