LOL..yes no helmet isn't the best I must admit.

the jump pic was taken literally a few minutes after I gave it back too him after eagerly watching me transform it for what must have seemed an eternity for him!! Hes had the bike for 3 years, and runs DH shuttles with the boys...so I didn't see any harm in a small backyard jump sans helmet :llama:. I know as parents we are responsible and set the example etc...but kids will be kids. Just look at the local skate park, how many kids/teens do you see wearing helmets? I don't condone it in any way...but a small jump compared to what hes used too...and on grass...yeah shel be right mate...go for it :pop2:

...if the pic is that offensive...I can remove?
he does have full DH kit- FF helmet, gloves, knee/elbow pro, and he has a DJ lid for the skate park and bmx track as well for the record.
