Knees+Ice=Bad
« on: February 09, 2009, 12:28:10 PM »
So this year ive been trying to cut back on clothing so im not wearing so much (works really good and i stay warm).  So for pants im just wearing the base layer and my snowboard pants.  And my snowboard pants are really thiin so i have like no padding.  And occasionally ill fall on my knees on icey spots annd it hurts like heck.  I cant imagine hitting a jump or something and landing on  my knees   that would suck BAD. 
So do most people do the ^above^ or should I add some sweat pants or somethin for extra cushion?

from where i landed and slid on my left knee cap probably around 30ft across solid ice. it was soo
gross man. the liner in my snowpants was red on my left leg haha.
