This site is starting to remind me of the classified section of a newspaper

Here's the other thing, who's to say that the picture taken was "In Motion" perhaps she stopped, removed her helmet and posed for the picture.


GRRRRR i really dislike it when someone makes artificial rules to tell me what i can and can't do, especially when the activity in question IS LEGAL!!!!!!!!!!!

[cheropride]

Yea but the scary thing is her eyes are closed.... lol

You know the helmet thing to me is personal choice.  When it comes to my son, there is no choice, HELMET...  When I ride, I personally don't wear a helmet. Perhaps I would if I where going to be hauling a$$, but we mainly mud and trail ride. And for those, oh you are setting a bad example for your child, bs, he knows, no helmet, he no ride.  It kills me though, think of this irony, you can blasting your motorcyle down I-95, without a helmet, but when you drive your truck, you better buckle up.  To me that's just a dumb law for the motorcycles. Personally, when you are driving a motorcycle, esp on public roads and highways, a helmet is a must. But yet, when you are trail riding your ute down a trail at 5 mph, better wear your helmet, yea, that makes perfect sense.....

Well in your case with this pic you can argue that but if you're slinging rooster tails of mud in the air it would be hard to do so.

I believe we should respect the wishes of the person who owns and runs this site.The same disrespect for rules has cost us many riding areas through out the state. I also believe that joining this site you agreed to the terms of use ,and now you dont feel as though you should follow them?

I would total agree with you on that point, it is totally up to Mr Bones who runs this site.  You know how some people are, especially the media, they would get a hold of something like that, and say something to the fact, oh just look at these websites, how they promote not wearing helmets.  It's a whole nother world when it comes to perception.....

Let me correct you , I dont agree with the rule at all but I abide by it.
Try to find just one pic that i have posted of some one riding without a helmet, you wont.
I have not disrespected any rules.

As for loss of ridin places you need to do some research on that.
I'll help you ,look up  CERP just for starters that equalled 70,000acres  .
Then you have  land development coupled with idiots ridin wrecklessly on land they didnt own in the first place ie tresspassing and there you have it .
 A very brief explaination of why we are loosing acreage every year.

As for respect , I have not disrespected the site founder in anyway . I simply expressed my view in and open forum which we are on at the moment.
I actually like the site because it is family oriented .

No hardfeelings to any one.

None takin I just hate drama.  Lets be happy

[Sleazy_Rider78]

I think that promoting safe riding isn't something that should be debated.  And deleting pictures of someone who is riding without a helmet is a good way to do this.  How many tragic ATV deaths have we heard about this past year?  And what was the common denominator in these horrible accidents?  No helmet.  If you don't wear a helmet when riding its your choice, however, I think when we post pictures on the internet where potentially thousands of people and kids can view, we should set an example by wearing protective gear.

[450R_Matt]

As far as the helmet thing....Its Mr. Bones site and he makes the rules. If he dosent want pictures of ppl riding with out helmets thats his choice. Like he allways tells ppl...If you want to post pics with out helmets on do it on your own site not his..

As for the site looking like the news paper. True....  There hasnt been much in the pics section in a wile (we need the Grizz back.this man could post pics with the best of them)and the where to ride section is slow because there is not that many places to ride in Florida.

And one more thing, Mr Bones said that when he's not around I could be in charge.

So when he's not around, I run things? CAPICHE'?

Anybody who disagrees, will be BANNED FOR LIFE from this site.

Yes Sir!

I was wondering how long it was gonna take for you to jump in on this one.

[JackL]

Does it need to be a DOT helmet, or will my kevlar pasgt suffice?

[06LimitedPred]

Bicycle helmets suffice?

[Fox17]

Every one that posts a pic without a helmet on while riding needs to be suspended from this site for 3 days. It is just stupidity. Even if you just ride through mud and trails you still need a helmet. what if someone comes around a corner and hits you? you die? get severely hurt? It might not be your fault but anything can happen. Anti ATVers dont care what caused accidents, all they look at is helmet, no helmet. And most of the time it is no helmet. Drinking while riding is a bunch of crap too. 2 weeks ago there were 2 Idiots riding a raptor 350 with bud lights in their hands and no helmets. Firts of all 2 people on a raptor 350...............ahhh no. 2nd, Drinking while riding? If it was up to me (which its not) they would be put in front of a firing squad. It is idiots like them that make it illegal everywhere. If i offended you in any way you can kiss my butt. I couldnt care less. Good day.

[MPTonyT]

your PASGT will suffice it is a kevlar based helmet. being a military policeman i have run into people wearing them on motorcycles and there is no issue with the PASGT. make sure your chin strap is buckled.

Anyone who knows me knows my opinion on this. If you ride without a helmet I think you are STUPID.

Anything can happen at any time. If you don't believe that then I feel sorry for you. The wosrt part is the people that have to deal with your bad decission to ride without a helmet. If you are seriously hurt of killed your selfishness and stupidity affects a lot of people. Not to mention the bad press about ATVs. That is my concern. I don't want irresponsible people who don't think about the effects of the actions to ruin my fun. If you want to kill yourself have at it, just don't drag me into it.

I think the deleted pictures without a helmet is a good idea.

I agree with both of you as well. I could make some enemies for this but so be it - I am sure others think it as well and just don't want to say it, if your gonna delete one delete them all. There are many pics here still that don't abide by the "site rules". I beleive that is why it becomes such an issue. One persons gets deleted but someone elses dosen't.

[Bleedsblue]

Geez the helmet nazi's are out today. 

Anti-ATVer's do not care if you have a helmet on, they only care that someone was injured. If someone gets killed on an ATV and was wearing helmet they are going to get just as much bad press as the one that wasn't wearing a helmet. If you think otherwise you are the fool. Of course accidents can happen to anyone and I make that educated decision to not wear one. I ride in the mud, water and trails most of the time with big groups or going very slow. I ride because I enjoy seeing the trails, feeling the air on my face, being able to see everything around me not boxed up and limiting to my view and feeling unconfortable so that in the off chance something does happen my injuries might be less. I would much rather ride free and enjoy the outdoors while I can. Can something happen? Of course but if something does happen then so be it but no one is going to lose any riding spots because of my death without a helmet. You will lose riding spots due to careless riders that leave trash everywhere, have no regard for the land or the people in it.
