ill be that guy to ask... water+nose=suck

[Zeon]

so heres the thing....



this is all still pretty new to me.... the thing is every time i case.. which while im learning to do tricks is alot..... every time i fall i take in so much water up my nose and its just ********ty....also when water blows into my ear as i hit the water hard....any prevention?

any solution to this problem that any of you guys do? i hate to be the guy out there with a nose plug or somthing.... idk ... it seems like you all seem to come up with somthing or some better way of doing somthing

i feel like an idiot to ask... but yeah.... or do you all suffer and deal with it?

nothin clears the sinuses better than a good face plant into Lake Erie... :biggrin:

you just have to learn how to fall. close your mouth and breath out.

Fresh (lake) water in you nose sucks.
Salt (ocean) water in your nose is good.

I have sinus problems, the ocean water makes me feel much better.
Also, the chlorinated water in our pool kills me.

I totally agree...there is nothing to make you feel better than taking a swim in the ocean :woot::woot:

Wouldnt a full face helmet help at all?

 

[yankeeboy]

exhale through nose. but i must admit, it is annoying.

 

[Frosty]

water will still pretty much pressurize the helmet... still happens... at least to me it does...

 

[Zeon]

totally. When I first started riding I messed up my nose really bad and it bled every day for a couple months. I think it also helps if you tuck your head so the major force of the water impacts on above your forehead and not your face.

We have so much friggin pollen in the water out here this year...after my subs and face plants yesterday I feel like the guy in the Noesynephrin commercial today. I'm thinking maybe a bronze deep sea diving helmet would do the trick.

Man, I totally forgot about that day your nose bled like a mother f-er from water shooting up it. Weird.

I think I would pass out our get light headed if I wore nose plugs.
Water up the nose never realy bothered me too much ecxept for one memorable time that I got so much up my nose I could swear it was coming out of my eyes:bigeyes:

Put duct tape over the ear inlet of you helmet (on the inside).

"ocean nasal douche".... fresh as a day in May..

I get water shot through my nasal passages everytime I ride... it's funy when you bend down topick something up and the water comes flowing out your nose like a faucet....
