I did a lot of stuff, but I also had a pretty strong sense of self preservation. I probably would NOT have ended up on youtube, had there been the option back then.
I rode my bikes from the time I was 6 or 7, until the day I got a car. I never wore a helmet, and I never saw any of my friends with helmets. I don't even know if they existed back then. I had many crashes and still have scars to show my bike days crashes.

I guess if I were riding in 2021 I would indeed wear a helmet. I just prefer a climate controlled dry car interior over anything with two wheels and me in the open. Just my preference.
