Here's mine. I have leg armour but was too lazy to wear it. As always
the "one last unispin" was the killer and I got a pretty bad raking by
my spiky pedals (the circled area shows the main scar, the rest is
mainly just blood). There is also another small one just below the main
one. The bites on my left leg were from the same thing earlier on just
not as bad. There's still a pretty big scar about six months on

Since then I have aquired an almost symmetrical scar on my left leg as
well as a few other small ones from the same stupidity. Twice is far
too many times for me. Leg armour is *definitely* worth the trouble of
putting it on

I got one so bad onetime, I could see the fat on the inside of my skin,
I could peel the skin apart, it was the worst pedal bite I ever had.
It's healed now though.

hard to see, exept on the back of my leg, its around 6 inches long,
after I treated it, I had 6 cuts going down the back of my leg starting
at the top of my calf down to my lower ankle.

Wow, you guys are cool. Cool like skateboarders who never protect
themselves, that is.

I have leg armor.

Before I used leg armor, back when I was learning tricks & such, I used
plastic pedals with minimal pins! Once I made a bruise/blood blister
imprint of the grid pattern of some non-pinned pedals on the front of
my leg, but I don't have a picture.

I am just getting started doing semi dangerous stuff. You guys are
better riders then me, and if you think you need metal pinned pedals,
maybe you do.
I just put these on my KH20 today. It's so hot here I have only worn
my leg armor once. The sweat convinced me that maybe a little blood
once in a while was more fun then a ton of sweat all the time.
Dimension pedals are much lighter then even the most expensive metal
pedals. They look crappy in the catalog, but very tough in person. If
you are tempted to try some, don't let the 10 $ price scare you away. I
have used a pair of their MTB pedals on my 36 for about a month and I
love them. They are so much better, I have a pair each of JC's and
snafus sitting on the shelf. I am using DMR magnesiums on my 24, but if
I hadn't bought them I think I would try dimensions on that to.
Anyway, as you can see by the pic, they are less carnivorous looking
then metals.🙂

Whoops, I forgot this was only for the pedal-bite area, which would
*usually* be shins, but I guess it could be anywhere depending on how
you bailed and where you hit.🙂

Those look like great pedals for trick-learning. Especially stuff like
crankflips and anything with big air! Combine those with some shoes
with tread of their own, and you'd be surprised at the quality of grip
you can get. That's why our shoes used to be a lot more important, and
why I used to wear turf shoes. I still have some, but have learned not
to wear them with the pinned pedals, as it's overkill.

I do ride with metal pinned pedals on my MUni and Coker, but don't use
them to try lots of risky stuff.
