I wear a full face (Smith Mainline) whenever I am riding my enduro bike or my jump bike at the dirt jumps or pumptrack, but I definitely admit to not wearing one when riding XC or at the skatepark 100% for aesthetic reasons. Sure, I could argue XC is less dangerous (not always, you can send pretty hard on those things), but really I just think it looks dumb riding an XC bike in a full face and anything else is just rationalization, haha!
