  1. ya yesterday my brother and I were outside my grandparents house and my
    brother wanted to try to do a unispin on my KH 07. As most of you know,
    the pins on the Snafus on the KH are very sharp and they stick out a
    lot(which is fine for when you have sixsixones on). The pin sliced his
    shin and I carried him up a hill and my papa knew right away that he
    would need stitches. We took him to the hospital and the doctor sewed
    him up w/ 8 stitches. Just a reminder that things like this can be
    prevented if you wear pads.🙂

  2. How... is that possible? Those must have been some brand new snafus.

  4. yea same thing happened to me, but on my calf. I didn't get stitches
    though.

    in this pic you can see my old pedal bite on the right of my leg. I
    always wear my 661s now needless to say.

    That's freaky. It almost resembles the nutsi flag or triton hook. But i
    don't think you needed stitches either. The way i fix scars and stuff
    like that is more weirder than stitching. 😄 😄 😄

    If you fail at unicycling or unicycle tricks, try again, when you try
    again. You will never fail.

  9. I bleed a lot yesturday after a snafu incident. It's about the 8th or
    9th one in the past 3 or so weeks, I do wear 661's most of the time
    though.

    The one yesturday happened whilst attemping a 360 unispin on my muni. I
    landed it really badly and then my foot slipped off. I now have 4 huge
    scratches on my right leg (one of them being on the back of my knee).

    I don't see how you could need stitches from it though, you would have
    to screw up really bad!

  11. I wear roach, but the concept still stands. Both my legs are scarred
    front and back from pedal bites.

    I've been told by some bikers that they only consider it a true pedal
    bite if it has at least 6 good scratches.

    yeah but a pedal bite is a pedal bite...if those pinned pedals touch
    your leg without armor on your leg is gonna get pretty messed up.

  13. WOW I just came to this thread and scrolled down and I don't think I've
    ever seen so much shin blood at one time...nice (:
    I've gotten pedal bites, but never very serious ones like yours...they
    were just scratches.

  15. In my expirience, the ones that bleed seem to hurt a little less than
    the ones that just barely don't. I'm not sure why. Besides, the
    bleeding ones look way cooler...

    The one in the pic up there was done uni-spinning in a skate park. All
    the kids there were kinda watching me limp for minute and looking at my
    leg, then one said "at least it's not bleeding." He spoke about 3
    seconds too soon.

  16. This is my snafu injury.
    [image:
    http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q5/Spencer_Hochberg/Myfootafteradoubleflip.jpg]
    it was really deep. I was doing a double flip and failed miserably and
    the pedal tore my shoe off and did that to my foot.
    Oh and that was days after it happened so there is no blood or
    anything, just my wound.

    the next day i got two pedal bites in the same place which ripped the
    scab off and made some new cuts. and a few days ago i screwed my shins.
