  1. I'm looking into buying some shin guards, but on unicycle.com all there
    are knee/shin guards. Is that what all of you are riding with, because
    they look really bulky and uncomfortable. I just want shin guards
    without the knee. If anyone could recommend me to a pair, it would be
    greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Have you been to any department stores by any chance*???* Okay, so
    there not as great as 661s or KH. But they do their job too. 😄

  4. Get the shin/knee guard combo.

    I just recently sold my Krusher pads that had only shin and ankle
    protection, I found when I fell I landed on my knees... where there was
    no protection... 🙁

    I regret selling them, but I'm going to buy some KH or 661 pads with
    knee guards as well.

    Also want to get some KH Pulse gloves.

    Ill find it
    'Here' (http://tinyurl.com/29bbxx) it is for $20, but only sizes small
    and xlarge

    And 'here' (http://tinyurl.com/2odveh) for $13, but only in youth
    small

    So.. I guess you either have to have really big or small legs to get
    them cheap, but small fits me fine
    Im about 5'3 and pretty skinny

    These 2 velcro straps on my pads always tear off though.. But I got my
    grandma to make them stronger 😄

  9. I ride with 661s... they rock and are very comfy.
    I recommend them... if you fall you will hit your knees, not your shins
    - knee protection is needed just as much!

  10. I was riding once, trying to do unispins and I hit my frame right in the
    ONLY ungaurded spot on the front of the legs, right between my knee and
    shin... It got me soooo mad!! 😄

  11. Based on 'this' (http://www.krisholm.com/english/products/sizing.htm), I
    would be fine with XL then right?

    What are these measurements? My shin bone (top of it) to my ankle bone
    is 37cm. I am 6' tall.

    I honestly have no idea how to measure your legs, I tried... but I just
    couldnt do it
    But if it will fit, you should buy them 😄

  14. I E-Mailed them.

    On their site it tells me shipping is $18... I'm hoping they will quote
    me something lower in an E-Mail.

    I sold my shin pads because I found I hit my knees more often than
    shins.

    Were they...
    *A) *661s.

    *C) *Some cheapo brand.

    D. None of the above.

    They were Krusher pads, some of the best shin/ankle protection you can
    buy.

    Good luck finding info on them.

    You would be like 4 foot tall or less if you measure that way.
