"Calf attack!" :>(

Terry, ya I guess you did have it wrong but I didn't even notice.
Although I did notice that you spelt my name wrong the first time but
got it right the second time!

You can find all the photos 'here'
(http://picasaweb.google.com/unicycle6869/2007Unicycling). I'm trying
out this new picasa photo hosting website so let me know what you
think. You should be able to download each picture at its full
resolution by going to each picture you want. There is another way of
downloading the entire album but you have to download the free picasa
program first (I think).

Anyways, here are some of the best pictures. This one is of the smoke
we could see from the Malibu Wildfire.

beach ride, and clocked 25.8 miles! Wooooot! Thanks for the fun ride!😄

I'm thinking now, why couldn't I simply *add* some pieces of
high-density foam to the back... I could use velcro intead of sewing
them in

The foam will cushion your calf (against bruises) but it might not
protect you from pedal bites. The pins will tear through that foam...
you'll need a piece of tough fabric such as ripstop or Denier nylon to
prevent tears.

The velcro method is a great idea... to give you an option on hot
days.

first off, I havent ever fallen on my back, and second because it is
expensive and looks like it would be hot and uncomfortable.

So you're saying you prefer the comfort of being confined to a
wheelchair?

Keep wearing your helmets and pads, kiddies!

I hadn't either..until I did! Have you ever fallen on your head? No? Me
neither and most other's on this forum haven't either, so is that a
reason not to wear a helmet? :p

I was planning on getting some elbow guards, since I've bruised/scraped
up my forarms several times. Then yesterday while riding in Anadale,
hit a root, the uni stopped and I didn't then did a superman/roll and
hit my shoulder on a rock. Now, I'm thinking about getting a full
jacket, like one of those 'Pressure Suites' (http://tinyurl.com/3y9ffq)

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.

I haven't thuroghly looked at the specks, but I think the biggest
difference as you go up in price, is the cooler it is. But $230 is a
lot of dough, even $120 is kind of a lot. But even the expensive one
is a LOT cheaper than a hospital visit:o

In some MTB vids I've seen you have to look pretty carefully to tell
that they are wearing a protection jacket. IMO worst case scenario
it'll look like you have verry broad shoulders :p

661s? That should be relatively easy.

since I broke my Achille's tendon with my saddle handle, I ALWAYS wear
back protection with my 661. they are just are a pair of kick-boxing
protections that fit very well (they have velcro straps that fit).
Moreover they are bright red :p
