Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]Submitted by www.snowboard-women.com
When you ride, do you wear a helmet? And why or why not?
I know people who don’t wear helmets because they “look dorky.” I’d rather look a little dorky than break my head open, thanks. Personally I will not ride without one because I ride in […]
