brought grant's old helmetnot sure which fits worse
grant's helmet or dean's bike
they each could use some resizing
the no helmet no bike rule is a strong one in my house
yes... dean did take a lap without his helmet
no... I did not freak out
but I did draw his attention to it and then reminded him
no helmet no bike
it is a simple rule
but how strict is the rule
and when does the helmet rule stop
skateboarding has the same rule
even though they are not yet doing anything
but...
when a kid is learning to drive the car the first thing they do is put on the seatbelf
tonight we went sledding
we... actually I worked on my article for SPOKES and lisa took the boys sledding
I went out for a few runs
it was getting dark
I went out there with a Petzel
dean was going for it on a sheet of ice
no cush of powder on this root hill that dead ends into a fallen tree
knowing the destination I had him wear a helmet
he was still wearing the helmet when I got out there
it is a skateboard helmet that fits me
he was wearing a winter cap underneith it
guess the boys need snowboard specific helmets for such activities
if I am going to impose the helmet rule
it is best not only to make it as cool as possible
but also to have it as safe as possible
a bicycle helmet is not built for a skateboard crash
and so on
guess I need to find my old Boeri snowboard helmet
wonder if a family of squirrels are living in it
