EUCMania Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I want to practice some one leg tricks on EUC. But I feel pain at my calf. Where can I find calf pad guard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Ong Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Im wondering if I should get a guard. I can do one foot on my right, but my left foot just doesnt have the strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingfelder Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Unicycle.com has full lower leg guards, the Kris Holm brand, but they're the only ones I've ever seen. Everywhere else seems to have shin and or ankle, but nothing for the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Halford Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I got the kris holm ones.. they okay... but didn't really see a big benefit from the pain of the unicycle pushing on my leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like basically a layer of straps across the back is the only protection for the back of the calves ... do you feel they could take a good scrape from a toothy bicycle/unicycle pedal? Re the pain of the unicycle pushing on your leg, I don't think you can get a pad to negate all that much of that. Having your body weight press down onto your shin is simply not what your shin is made for and I think it has to hurt most people, at least for a good long while. Believe it or not, my shin bones actually got thicker from practicing on my EUC and having my leg pressed so hard into it as I practiced mounting ... and the increase in thickness stopped exactly at the edge of where my shin got pressed into the EUC. I can run my finger over it and feel it clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Halford Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 yes, its only straps across the back of the calves with fabric. so could save you from getting hit by a spikey bicycle pedal. I have yet to make my mind up if it easier to ride with them or not yet.. but did find they all ways seem to be resting on the wheel of my KS-18-L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingfelder Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Thanks. I wonder if they would be sturdy enough to not just be ruined if I got a good pedal bite from landing on the pedal again. At 70-some bucks, I won't want them usable only once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Ong Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I just started lifting the right foot. What I realized is that it needs speed, cause you need to lean forward a little if its just dead weight leaning in, its too much for the shin!
