I have a few questions about mountain bike helmets.?

[CHANCE]

I recently got back in mountain biking and its about time i start wearing a helmet before something bad happens.I like the looks of the skateboarding style of helmet,and im not thrilled with the looks of the regular mountain bike helmets,do people ever wear the skating helmets on mountain bikes? I realize the looks are not whats important but if i dont like the way it looks i probably wont end up wearing it.I am not doing much extreme stuff on the bike so i dont need a full face helmet. can anyone suggest a helmet or any info to help me out, thanks a lot
