ok, so here is a place where we can tell uni-horor stories and post pictures of our battle scars. My pedal bite here doesn’t look that bad, but hurt like hell:D
I HEART leg armor!
I am now in the market for leg armor…
I have multiple scars courtesy of my Jimmy C’s. I am buying 661s tomorrow
this happened today, while is was wearing my leg armor.
and this is why praciting unispins can be not fun.
Here’s mine. I have leg armour but was too lazy to wear it. As always the “one last unispin” was the killer and I got a pretty bad raking by my spiky pedals (the circled area shows the main scar, the rest is mainly just blood). There is also another small one just below the main one. The bites on my left leg were from the same thing earlier on just not as bad. There’s still a pretty big scar about six months on
Since then I have aquired an almost symmetrical scar on my left leg as well as a few other small ones from the same stupidity. Twice is far too many times for me. Leg armour is definitely worth the trouble of putting it on
I got one so bad onetime, I could see the fat on the inside of my skin, I could peel the skin apart, it was the worst pedal bite I ever had. It’s healed now though.
A good friend of mine got one of the worst I’ve seen :
I trerated all my cuts like those, so I have tiny round scars that are hard to see, exept on the back of my leg, its around 6 inches long, after I treated it, I had 6 cuts going down the back of my leg starting at the top of my calf down to my lower ankle.

Wow, you guys are cool. Cool like skateboarders who never protect themselves, that is.
I have leg armor.
Before I used leg armor, back when I was learning tricks & such, I used plastic pedals with minimal pins! Once I made a bruise/blood blister imprint of the grid pattern of some non-pinned pedals on the front of my leg, but I don’t have a picture.
I’d show mine but since I always wear 661’s I don’t have any! 
post the briuses then 
I kinda think plastics are under rated
I am just getting started doing semi dangerous stuff. You guys are better riders then me, and if you think you need metal pinned pedals, maybe you do.
I just put these on my KH20 today. It’s so hot here I have only worn my leg armor once. The sweat convinced me that maybe a little blood once in a while was more fun then a ton of sweat all the time. Dimension pedals are much lighter then even the most expensive metal pedals. They look crappy in the catalog, but very tough in person. If you are tempted to try some, don’t let the 10 $ price scare you away. I have used a pair of their MTB pedals on my 36 for about a month and I love them. They are so much better, I have a pair each of JC’s and snafus sitting on the shelf. I am using DMR magnesiums on my 24, but if I hadn’t bought them I think I would try dimensions on that to.
Anyway, as you can see by the pic, they are less carnivorous looking then metals.

ouch, I would have though you would have got shin bruises
Whoops, I forgot this was only for the pedal-bite area, which would usually be shins, but I guess it could be anywhere depending on how you bailed and where you hit.
Those look like great pedals for trick-learning. Especially stuff like crankflips and anything with big air! Combine those with some shoes with tread of their own, and you’d be surprised at the quality of grip you can get. That’s why our shoes used to be a lot more important, and why I used to wear turf shoes. I still have some, but have learned not to wear them with the pinned pedals, as it’s overkill.
I do ride with metal pinned pedals on my MUni and Coker, but don’t use them to try lots of risky stuff.
i have several that never seem to go away. my friends and i call pedal bites shark bites so when anyone asks me what happened i tell them that i got bit by a shark.

its corny i know but its funny as an inside joke.
