I have always had the problem with hitting my ankles off of my crank arms. Always. Recently, it's become a much bigger problem than usual. Today, I barely tapped my ankle off of my crank arm trying a flat 360 and this happened:
I opened up the scab to that little cut and my crank arm went deep into my skin and caused that tiny wound to bleed profusely. Most of the blood actually gathered in my sock.
This sucked. I stained my sock and it definitely made the session a little less fun afterwards.
Does anyone on here have an alternative to ankle guards or a solution to this problem? I've got little cuts and bruises on the inside of both ankles and it's very painful. I would like to get ankle and shin guards in the future but right now, I do not have the money to buy them.
