Kwing Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Dear all, I know it won't happen often but I sincerely encourage you all to wear protective gear at all times..the only time I forgot t wear a shin guard.. I fall and cut myself so deep I need stitches .. yes right on the shin.. Nothing gonna stop me from wheeling but it will be protective gear head to toe every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowMo Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 The sheen is the part of the feet that gets hit the most by the pedals during the learning phase and during instances of sudden dismounts caused by imbalance. Many of the riders wear high top shoes mainly to protect the sheen from being hit. Others still wear normal sneakers or even sandals and take the risk. I myself get some pedal marks on my shin every now and then but just shrug it off as a normal part of riding the EUC. Hope you heal well. Be safe and ride carefully.
