Ouch my shins

lionheart29

OK here is a picture of my shins ha ha ha..they just keep getting bashed maybe i should invest in some pads



i have a little shortlist of....

661 pro knee/shine guards lightweight
Raceface Rally FR Leg Protection
SixSixOne Comp 2010 Knee/Shin Armour

Any others i should consider? i mainly ride trails black/red so i still need flexibility.

Yep. Plus a nice pair of grippy Flats.

Pads dude, don't ride without them!

yeah i sorted the shoes five tens and they are awesome and my flats are pretty shit hot too if i'm honest,
but my new shin injuries came as i went straight over the bars ha ha..nothing serious tho, i have many scars already i know chicks love them

but i am going to get some knee pads so was thinking of getting the shin guards plus knee??

I prefer just riding with knee pads.

I do have shin pads but never wear them, I will consider it when doing some pretty bad DH stuff though like at Fort William but I don't bother at Innerleithen

Just keep riding. After a while your shins will become numb. Odd, but true!

ha ha ha love it so true your nerve endings die if you smash them up enough, but it does take alot of punishment to reach that type of skill level.
