Injured

What pedals do you use? If you've got metal pedals you'll either want to
get plastic pedals or invest in shinguards.

If you've got plastic pedals than you're either a pansy or have
sensitive legs(read: you're a pansy).

Pedals bite. I might post some recent shinnage I had. It doesn't look
pretty, though.

Injured? you are complaining about getting hit in the shin with a
plastic pedal.... I ride metal and dont always put my shingaurds on....
Metal pedal to the shin on a missed 180 flip, now thats painful, still
not bad enough to stop riding and come on here.

Try a sprained ankle and foot. I have been out for 2 weeks, and just
started walking(cant stay on it all day). It will be another 6 weeks
before I can ride, and thats pushin it.
Stop complaining and go ride for the two of us.😉

jump mounts have to be among the lamest way to get hurt. no offense.

and if you get injured because you are not wearing shin guards that
means you are not the brightest person ever. (the brightest would be
wearing them) (helmets also apply)

also posting a thread because you smacked your shins with your pedals
is like making a thread saying i ride a unicycle. almost everyone on
here does it. and most of us do it repeatedly (on both parts)

well i haven't really been able to really get hurt this summer from
unicycling since i haven't been able to ride it... i broke my arm/wrist
biking and was in a cast for 5 weeks and just got it off 2 weeks ago
when i got my cast off i could barely move my wrist and still don't
have full movement and not as strong as i was and today i sprained my
finger pretty bad (hand i use to hop with) and can't move it soo
probably an other week at least with out riding ...its been a pretty
crappy summer for riding for me 🙁 :o

I was grinding a ledge today and things went horribly wrong. I had way
too much speed and my weight was too far back, so by the time I got to
the end of the ledge, my uni slid out from under me and my spine hit
the ledge. I'm not gonna even try to ride in the next couple of days.

I am a girl,

And may i just say you can't judge how hurt someone is by listening to
them...so please keep the nasty comments to yourself, and for your
information i had broken my ankle last year and its still dodgy so of
corse its bound to hurt. Also if some of you hurt your selves or did
something worse so what, my leg hurts and im sorry that you can't seem
to accept that...and im not going to make it worse by riding some more
now am i?

all im saying is,

female or male the human body is a body, if you get hurt you get hurt
some more than others, so lay off my leg hurts and my ankle. GET OVER
IT.

Im sorry to get so angry but sometimes you all really wind me up.

Now lets just forget about my ankle and the fact it does hurt...no
infact how about you just call me a pansy, i can't wait till you lot
get injured, sympathy vote from gagtape - 0.

Now stop it!

You're a girl, sweet!

I was only joking, btw. I didn't actually mean you're a pansy(although,
you've got the tendencies...). The point is, everybody gets hurt
unicycling, maybe with different intensity and frequency, but everybody
knows what pain feels like. And practically any unicyclist can relate
to having shin damage. Still, there is no point starting threads about
it with such misleading titles.

And just to liven this thread up and get the competition started,
here's mine:

It doesn't look like much, but it hurt like [censored] when I got it. It's
new pedal bites over some old ones(and a see-saw slam), so it's extra
tender.
