Baller skibug Posted June 15, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 15, 2018 I have shredded my shin on my back leg when the ski raked across it in a fall. I needed to use a field wound blood clotting agent to get it to stop bleeding. I had to where a spray leg in order to ski, until it healed. There is a time a place for them.

Administrators Horton Posted June 15, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted June 15, 2018 I can not get this thing to heal. Hurts like hell every opening pass but wearing a spray leg would be too humiliating.

Baller RazorRoss3 Posted June 15, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 15, 2018 Been there, done that. The whole stayed in my leg from the beginning of the ski season until drysuit weather rolled around.

Baller skihacker Posted June 15, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 15, 2018 I've skied with 2 different guys who had that same hole in the shin, doesn't go away if you keep skiing, one guy tried duct tape. Every set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller DavidP Posted June 15, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 15, 2018 I crashed crossing the wake and the ski hit my back shin. 8 stitches later and 3 weeks off the water, I’m wearing a spray leg from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ lpskier Posted June 15, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted June 15, 2018 Don’t be silly. It’s a tool to be used for a purpose, when needed, for as long as needed. An un-named soul, who is a World, Masters and National champion and several time World and age group record holder, borrowed mine (kept for emergencies like this) while suffering from an accuse case of “water burn” when coming back after a long layoff due to injury. If he can wear one with his head held high, so can we all. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Marco Posted June 15, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 15, 2018 Since doing this 2 years in a row (Reflex boot), I now wear not only a spray leg on my rear leg but insert a plastic shin guard inside the spray sleeve. It beats 2 weeks off the water and a $1000 urgent care bill. I'm not proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller dchristman Posted June 15, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 15, 2018 @marco I'm curious if you use a rear boot with reflex front. I'm wondering if the shin kicking phenomenon is an affliction of reflex-with-rear-boot skiers. I use RTP and have never kicked myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller david_ski Posted June 17, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 17, 2018 Reflex and R-Style rear boot. The leg scrape happens with me probably 20% of the time the Reflex does release. My ski buddy gets the leg scrape 100% when his Reflex bindings release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller RazorRoss3 Posted June 17, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 17, 2018 Nothing wrong with a spray leg. I drag my back leg on the pull up which makes them less functional fro me because they always get pulled down and bunch at my ankle if not come clean off and become lost to the lake. I’m sure I could get a really really tight spray leg but I don’t want to work that hard to get it on or cut off circulation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted June 17, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted June 17, 2018 @david_ski how often do you release?

Baller Marco Posted June 17, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 17, 2018 @dchristman yes, I do have a front reflex with a rubber high wrap on the rear. Both injuries happened when I burried the tip at the ball and my reflex released but I did not come out of the rear binding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller david_ski Posted June 18, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 18, 2018 @Horton I probably only have a 4-5 binding release falls a season (80+ day season). Therefore, I only get a bad shin scrape usually once a season. This latest one happened last Friday. This was my worse/painful shin gouge to date. At the frequency of happening only once a season, I am good for the rest of the season. Right. I am seriously thinking about using a soccer shin guard until the skin fully heals. I will find out today how it feels in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
