man how much i hate shinners. this past weekend i was skatin this big metal foot high locker that my friend scalvaged from his neighbors garbage pile. i was skatin it as a box doin FS noses on it and i bashed my shin on the end of it. got like a deep two inch gash in my shin. these suck, anyone else hate em.

Umm, I'm pretty sure nobody loves 'em. But anybody who's tried a flip trick of any kind knows the shinner well. It's an easy way to pick out who actually skates & who just holds a board & sports Circa gear.

yeah def need to wear pants. not only do they cover the shins but they also cover the ankles. it sucks to get hit in the ankles.

I don't get hit in the ankles, I just roll 'em. I'll take a shinner too rather than be sweltering. You're bound to get hurt skating, you might as well be comfortable.

IMO at a certain point there;s not much a difference between pants and shorts. in like 100 degree temperature your gonna be pretty fu*kin hot anyways.

I have constant shinners. I wear pants because It feels more comfortable to me skating.

I don't usually get hit in the shins/ankles. I usually wear shorts too.The problem I've had a lot lately is rolling ankles and that REALLY sucks.

You know what hurts worse? Getting credit carded!!!! For those of you who don't know what that is, it's when the board is "standing" completly vertical while your in the air and your nuts get "swiped" by the board. only one word can describe this horrific event.... PAINFUL!!!!... So remember be safe and wear a cup! lol

Wear a cup? No thanks, I don't take shots to the jewels THAT often.

My buddies refer to credit carding/ATM'ing as getting split by a rail, landing on your board like that is referred to as getting popsicled.
