Shinjury

Mate of mine spilt his shin bone before, and got a free ride to hospital in an ambulance and all, heee yaaa at least you didn't have the double length terror pins in your v8's! I used to use foot ball shin pads under my jeans when my feet used to slip off mine, but don't seem to have the problem any-more :)

this reminds me of a post in the new members chat about wearing/notwearing shinguards, went somthing like;

'i dont know what you guys are going on about, it doesnt even hurt. infact me and my mates find it funny'

I guess they're newbies who haven't experienced bashing their shins after a medium - high dropoff...

Ha ha I remember that same thread, I don't even think they where newbies things like the above was said, in fact one lad even said that shin pads are gay :giggle:

To be honest from what I've done to my shins with pinned pedals compared to what I've seen friends of mine do with caged pedals, pins do a lot less damage than caged ones. Cuts from pinned pedals tend to be quite surgical and heal easily compared to cages.

I did have one pin from a V8 pedal punch a perfect circular hole in my pants before getting embedded in my leg once - hilarious stuff provided it doesn't hurt enough to stop you riding :P...

Used to shin myself a lot when I first started then didn't do it for years! My last time on the trials bike in the summer I gapped to gusset spikey shit of a pedal to the shin. Bit below my knee didn't dry up for 2 days. Was disgusting!

Back to platforms with the new bike and get my veggie wraps back on for sho'

Remember when I was ridin an old bmx at my mums when I was about 12 and shinned myself on the caged pedals in shorts.

Went inside to mop up, went back out an did it again!

I gave up riding that crappy bike after that, had to cut a weird stringy bit off that was hangin out ma shin with some scissors, still got the scar 14 years later!

^^^ This is exactly why I wear shin guards all the time. Rather spend the money on beer or bike parts than having to have something like that doctored up. Don't really care if people think shin guards look gay.
