no more unispins without shinguards

General

i was in oregon this weekend and was trying the unispins where u jump from the ground and spin the uni and land. i was wearing shorts with no shin protection on and had been working on it for like 5 minutes. then i tried again and jumped up and spun it and instead of my right foot landing on the pedal, the pedal rotated and so my shin came down on the spike and cut a long gash down it. i thought it was just a regular cut but then all this blood spilled out of it onto my shoe. so we drove to the ER in salem and i had to get 16 stitches for it.

so the lesson is: no unispins w/ out shinpads

and… any advice on light pads that protect ur legs well enough?

Haha, I slice my shin like that too,(cept it was a normal unispin) but it was only 12 stitches. Theres a thread with it in it a while back, the french sar leg :wink: for protection try some 4x4s or some veggie wraps…
