Who else here bashes the crap out of their shins during a ride? I always get going and put a knee in the tray. However, something always seems to happen at that time and my shin slammed into the back corner of the tray. I've got the turf and two layers of that yoga mat but I always come home with red marks and/or bruises and I almost never bruise...

Just trying to see if maybe there was another way I wasn't seeing. Much like shooting yourself in the nuts with the jet...you do that a couple times and you learn a new method.

Slippery has some new shin guards out.
Also check out the BMX stuff. I have a pair from when I rode BMX but i never use them. I like the knee gaskets they are called by the company We The People. Here is the website:

Crab, I might be interested in those. Are they the new 2008 versions? One size fit all or is there a size on them?
learn how to side mount your ski. it takes more upper body strength, a tight steering ratio and an impeller that has the hookup as well as an engine with the power to drive it up and out.
L/XL

What i do to keep from bashing my shins when getting on is grab the back of the ski with both hands and shove it under water, put my knee as far back on the mat as i can and balance before i hit the start button. That way all you have to do is swing your other leg under you and your standing in a heartbat. Only thing that happens then is the knee gets a little red from doing it all day but no bruising from swinging shins into the bumper while trying to get your knees on the mat while moving.

Same here. I went diving last weekend, and saw beer cans and bottles all the way down to 60 feet. IDIOTS!!!!!
I usually put my knees in the tray before I start. Never really have a problem with shin bruises.
