bigamac Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Thats nothingggg. Shin pads can be useful, but riding trials i don't find it any different. BMX i wear them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew_coggan Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 My mate had the same problem, what he did was buy some Platform Pedals they were bigger then the ones he was using and his feet sliped of alot less. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/search.php?category_id=23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 That's barely a scratch, wait till you hit yourself so hard you'll have to be taken to hospital Funnily enough the harder you hit your shin, the less it hurts. At least from my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Funnily enough the harder you hit your shin, the less it hurts. At least from my experience. I've come to that conclusion, and I honestly thought I was the only one! But it gets to the point where you hit them so hard it does* hurt, THEN hospital it is.

When you can see muscle. Then you can complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
