just scuffed up on a few places ill see if i can get a good picture to post of the helmet

From the pics, it just looks like surface/aesthetic damage. They're a little blurry. It looks like you just grazed your head. I doubt the structural integrity of the helmet has been compromised at all.

I would replace that lid. I just wouldn't feel comfortable wearing that again.

I have heard that just a very minor fall can hurt a helmet.

I'd replace that helmet... no way I would put that on my head again. And, I wouldn't let you ride on my track with that - no way.

In my world, helmet hits the ground = replace.
