Broomer Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 i get it some times when i sleep at party's in strange places etc.... long story.best thing to do when its in your legs is to straighten your leg and hold your knee down and pull the leg up towards you as if your straightening the leg further than it should.

Trials Punk Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 I used to get bad cramp from riding a full weekend of trials. To the point of getting home, sitting at the pc, then the cramp would set in launch my leg up into the desk with me shouting SHHHHHH***T.Hurt bad.Its normal though, if its happening for a week everyday, have a word with your doctor.

Danny Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cramp is a good read.I very occasionally get 'Nocturnal leg cramps' after a night of heavy drinking. My god they hurt. Spend most the following day limping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 When I was younger ( 13-14 ) I NEVER got cramp. I would ride day after day and not even get sore muscles from really pushing myself. These days I am much more aware of what's happening to me when im out riding and when I pull something I know, generally because I feel it. Last night I was starting to get a twinge in the back of my lower left leg, got home last night and was sitting here on the laptop and had a few smal cramps, but they tend to be in my back more than anything else. So yeh, I do get cramp. Water helps, but I find staying warmed up helps more than anything else. Warming up is something I never had to do before too........
