  1. Well, it had been a real busy couple of weeks with the semester coming
    to an end, work in the retail business getting crazy and hectic...so
    when the UMaine Juggler's Society decided to have an unofficial meeting,
    I was excited to finally get some good riding in with some uni pals I
    hadn't seen in a while. Being indoors, with no real obstacles for trials
    practice, I left my pads in the car. We'll call this 'Mistake Number
    One'.

    With no good obstacles indoors, and since it was dark and snowing
    outside, we were mostly working on freestyle stuff, which I'm not very
    good at and don't work on very often. I was feeling good about my
    wheelwalking progress, so thought I'd move on to jumping off the pedals
    and landing back on ( some call it an arial, working my way up to
    unispins). This was 'mistake number two'.

    \/ Here is what happened \/ (My wife did a great job cleaning it with
    saline and getting all the hair out of there. I think her vet. tech.
    classes are paying off)

  3. you should see the bit my sister got off my onza last week...It beats
    any pedal bites I've ever had. You could see right to the bone, it was
    luvverly. The sad thing was she was only riding across the kitchen, not
    even doing anything spectacular. Th pins on the pedals that the onza
    comes with are pretty vicious, and unnecessarily big in my opinion.

    One good thing came from my sisters wounding though, I now know what to
    get her for christmas.....LEG ARMOUR!

  5. yeah, i remember when you first posted that shot. What can I say, you
    inspired me. I think I could have used a few stitches, and if had found
    a nice suture kit at the drug store, my wife would have played
    frankenstein on it. That's the first really deep wound I've gotten. I
    didn't think there was that much meat on the shins, but it was almost a
    QUARTER OF AN INCH deep.

  6. I had a really cool pedal bite once,from my oddeysey triple trap
    pedals.
    There was a perfect imprint of the pedals all the way around my leg,it
    looked like my pedal only in reverse.

  16. Since getting symmetrical marks on both legs from my Onza pedals, it's
    been nice. admittedly that's coz of the 661's I now always wear.

    pedals with razor sharp (and long) pedal pins.

  19. Hi BoojiBoy,

    Not sure if you remember my post 'Onza bites man'
    (http://tinyurl.com/4ww8k) it was almost identical to yours. I was
    hoping it would be a leason to fellow Onza riders that leg guards,
    especially calf guards should be worn at all times.

    I had only had my Onza a couple of days when it developed vampire
    tendencies, and the worse part was that I had just been pushing my
    limits without any problems then as soon as I backed off it dumped me to
    the ground and shredded my calf.

    I always wear leg guards now.

    Hope it heals quickly and dose not keep you off your uni too long.

    Yeah i remember that. I've definitely learned my lesson. after it
    happened I just cleaned it up a bit and then put my pads on over it and
    continued riding for like an hour and a half. So it hasn't slowed me
    down any. I hope to ride with some guys from S.W.A.T. in a week or so.
    You can rest assured I will have pads and a helmet on.
