I am sure ALGOR doesn't really mean that.
Mandatory for all without exception?
Who's gonna impose that? The police? The club? The school? A voluntary squad? Seals? CCTV?
What if helm-less riders don't comply? Jail? Fine? Ban? Confiscate gear?
Let's say it's ALGOR, or some other regulation enforcement wannabe.
Let's says he is policing some beach in Maui, or Cape Verde, Brazil, and out there is Robby, Mitu, or Toby doing their stuff without helmet, obviously.
Have you seen any of these legends (yes Toby you too, when your 500 tricks DVD will be out ) with a helmet? On a bike perhaps.
My question is: What is ALGOR gonna do?

Enough with regulation!
Where is ALGOR from? In Europe there are 250 000 pages of regulations. Who bloody wants more of the same?
You wouldn't expect a kiterider to suggest that would you?

Alex, the regulation are born with the earth.
I'm sorry for your problem with it, but the "not problem" starts when you think it's right to put your freedom over the other one.
It's for that reason then humans created "laws".
This is my personal opinion: for me all kiters, without exceptions, have to wear an helmet starting from athlets, instructors, pros etc etc ending to the total beginner.
And this will be in the future, I bet on it, in the same way in the 1900 the motorbike pilots put just sunglasses and a bandana and now it's impossible to drive (and logically I could add) a motorbike without an helmet (except you live in a not civilized world).

It's a perspective different when you think the safety not only from just your private angle of view...

eh? I don't know about all that..

There's quite enough of this pussyfication already...

Scooters being as Italian as a speedy retreat...

No helmet is required here if your scooter is less than 50cc.

And to be clear, you can be as dead at 35 mph. as 65 mph.

But all this tripe about others safety is just pure sanctimonious BS

Who the fuck are you to be laying down the law...

Also, life is tenuous at best, just anyone who had ever lived, O' that's right they're dead now...

That's the Natural law..

I'm not buying this "helmets are to protect others" BS

there are helmet days, as sure as there are non helmet days...

To indulge in something as risky as kiteing and say you love it for the freedom, just to turn around and insist one must cap his Mellon is as oxymoronic as it gets

Fuck a bunch of law makers out to save mankind...

Let it roll, rock out with your clock out, that's a kiter's way to exit...

That's just how it is
fokiten

It's your think...
For your information: In Italy (and I assume in all EU) all people going on motorized 2 weels have to put an helmet. For a chinese man that is unbeliveble... it's question of time and a growing process.

A EU Bloke had this to say about time,

Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,
And burn the long-lived phoenix in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleets,
And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets;
But I forbid thee one most heinous crime:
O, carve not with thy hours my love's fair brow,
-----------------------------------------------------------------
She's dead now too.So ask away...

See if She (time) gives a flying fuck

It's all good man

You mean "numbing" process.
Typical arrogance believing Western so called values will take over the world.
Asians have got there own values, which in most respects are better than ours.
One of them being thoughtful pragmatism.

Don't kill ALGOR yet, kingofyo. Lets have some fun let him post few more gems of the sort; it looks like he enjoys being exposed to ridicule ("there is no such thing as bad publicity" must be his moto). Then will be your moment to give the final blow (you were good at that when your name was fo).
You must have noticed the amazing number of contradictions in his paternalistic lines.
Why a brain which is dead need to be protected is my first question.
If this guy is in intensive care, please somebody please, pull the plug.
More to come ALGOR, .
Alex

Responding to your nonsense one at a time.
Don't mistake laws of physics and laws of nature with man made "regulations" which clearly are not born with earth, except for creationists.

For the time being please ponder the following from people with brains:

"Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law [ ] than passing laws which cannot be enforced. "
Albert Einstein

"If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law."
Winston Churchill

"Where you find the laws most numerous, there you will find also the greatest injustice."
Arcesilaus

"Lawless are they that make their wills their law."
William Shakespeare

More to come when you're done.

I haven't got any problem. You have. Your logic is flawed.
I am only claiming my freedom to wear or not to wear a helmet. Explain how this freedom infringes on anyone else's. All I can think is that you were not wearing a helmet when you had a brain. Damaged for good now.

Your suggestion to make it mandatory for everyone to wear a helmet is clearly expressing your wish to limit others' freedom. You are a control freak, which wouldn't be that bad if you could think before you talk. There is nothing more to it.

PS: I've got nothing personal against ALGOR. He is unaware that he is voicing this mainstream the-more-laws-the-better BS which irritates me. I would have expected more critical attitude towards regulations from the younger generation, especially those into that sport they like to call extreme.

More to follow...

What's the difference between "personal opinion" and "private angle of view"?

Do kiters, without exception, have to wear a helmet because it's ALGOR's opinion?
ALGOR has a serious problem whatever his answer will be.

More to come...
