  1. Hi!
    Maybe a bad way for introducing oneself to the forum, but I've got to
    ask the stupid question ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Can anybody tell me, what's the difference between soccer shin guards
    and the special bicycling shin guards? I know, the one are meant for
    bicycling, the others for playin soccer. But why? Is there a reason
    against using soccer shin guards for unicycling trials? (or a reason FOR
    bicycling guards)
    I have neither of them, but I just recognized, soccer shin guards are
    way cheaper (: ..

    thanks alot,
    jabbath

  2. i used soccer shin guards before i got my sixisxone's for a little bit
    and they were really bad, go with the sixsixone 4x4's because they are
    way better then soccer shin guards, and i think i did a thread on this
    before you might want to do a search, but im not really sure

  3. thanks for the replies!

    @habbywall: Yeah.. I found your post ๐Ÿ™‚ ; But you just said you would
    try to use soccer guards.

    I haven't got the money for the sixsixones at the moment. so should I
    wait until I can afford them or should I get soccer shin guards for the
    time being?

    As I see it the soccer shin guards are at about 15EUR, and the sixsixone
    at 45EUR.
    What about these ones? :

    They don't seem much bigger than average soccer shin guards but
    nevertheless they are suggested for trials.

    Anyways ๐Ÿ™‚

    Thanks alot for helping me!

  4. those soccer shin guards look like they would work well for riding bc.
    just turn them inwards.

  5. I found some catchers shin knee guards from my local sports coach. They
    were free too. I took off some of the extra pieces i didn't need. They
    are kinda big but work perfect.
