a K1 Vadercycle, they havent released it yet, its a one of a kind model that they made me. I also replaced the cranks with some Nimbus Sandtroopers too. I got it in ABS white too.

I'm thinking about switching my tire from a GL Force to a LS Yoda

Of course, thats before he followed up order 66 on Felucia, then things started to get messy. But damn, he knew how to use his DC17's and DC15A's.

Getting back on topic...
I rarely wear a helmet, I know unicycling's dangerous, and potentially deadly, but that's a pretty huge 'potentially'. I haven't fallen on my head, not even close, the closest I've ever come was on my side (stopped by my upper arm) or on my but (always tuck my head in if this happens), I learned how to fall so I wouldn't get injured.

The only times I wear my helmet are when I'm learning new things and when I'm riding to Dan's place, only because his Dad won't let me into the house if I haven't worn my helmet on the way over.
*waiting for huge, ranting, angry criticism*

If there is one thing this thread should NOT do it get back on topic. Then it will just join the other 100 controversial helmet threads. One day the forums will reach the critical mass of self-righteous helmet whining and then - poof - an gigantic douchebag chain reaction will occur that could pull these forums, and perhaps the entire world, into an near-endless run-on sentence plagued with helmet arguing related thread derailments, misspellings, and commas, ending only when people stop arguing on the internet, grammar nazi's shut up, people use the search function, people stop yelling at other people to us the search function, and ............................................................... people use ellipses correctly. It's a dangerous road to go down.

Anyway, The one time I make sure I'm wearing a helmet is when I'm bullseyeing womp rats in my T-16 back home. Did you know they're not much bigger than two meters?
