Butt Gear
I smashed up my cocyx (?) bout 7 years ago and snowboarding aggravates my
butt. ;-) Any of you got any good butt gear? They all look the same but are different pricey. Some must be better than others!? what you say? bet, bet, bet!! sket |

Butt Gear
Hi Sket, I originally had a pair of crashpads which can be bought at
www.crash-pads.com. However this season I bought a pair of skeletools shorts which I like a lot better because the padding material is spongier and the butt pad is laminated with plastic for superior protection. I felt the design and materials were superior. Other shorts you can look for are Burton's RED Impact Shorts, although they aren't as padded as I would like a pair of shorts to be. Dainese also makes a well regard impact shorts, although it is much more available in Europe than in North America. I've been told that the "plus" one with hard tailbone and hip protectors is very good. Hope that helps "Sket" wrote in message ...

Some must be better than others!? what you say? bet, bet, bet!! sket Have 2 pair of the Daines short-plus (ones with hard tailbone/hip pads). Very expensive, but highly valued. I bought an extra pair for when my wife goes out, so she can ride with them. We both snowboard, and I will not ride without them now. Found them in a place in Brekenride, CO. Had to call places and ask if they carried, then received in mail. They cost about 120+, but to me, they are worth it. I rode with softer ass pads the first few times, and I still bruised my tailbone. Coughed up the bucks for the Daines (which I was reluctant to do), and am pretty happy now. I fall on rails too regulary, and these save my tailbone. Just this weekend, I fell while trying a frontside boardslide, on a flat-down (not-so) fun box, squarly on my ass, and then bounced off, landing on the ice, once again, on my ass. It hurt, but not my tailbone, and it was just a initial pain. Nothing major. I swear by them. My cousin has the skeletools, and he likes them. I also checked out the red, triple 8, and some other pads, and none of them compared to the daines. -flynn |

Try the ButtShield, bought it for my daughter when she started out boarding.
I picked up a 2 at about $20 each through eBay. You should be able to find it if you do a search. Heavy duty foam, slips into your pants and stays in position. Pretty comfy to sit on during breaks aswell. "Sket" wrote in message ... I smashed up my cocyx (?) bout 7 years ago and snowboarding aggravates my butt. ;-) Any of you got any good butt gear?

shorts which I like a lot better because the padding material is spongier and the butt pad is laminated with plastic for superior protection. I tried Skeletools on Lonerider''s recommendation and they're good. Only thing I found was the foam inserts were a bit distored (perhaps from packing / transit) which made them a bit fiddly to get back in if you take them out. They were fine once in though, and the efficacy of the shorts proved excellent. Plenty of falls but no pain the next day! |

Some must be better than others!? what you say? bet, bet, bet!! sket This is going to sound a little weird, but hear me out on this one, ok? Go to your local adult store and ask for what they call an "ass wrench". That's the technical term but I think there's a slang name for it, too. Anyways, it comes with instructions that should be easy to follow. It's pretty power hungry so you will need a 12 volt battery handy. You can use the one on your car if you dont feel like buying one just for this. Be sure to keep your car on though, so the alternator keeps it charged. Use that sucker every day for a week then once before every snowboarding session after that and you should be golden. If you want, I can sell you mine. I had to quit using it because I was getting a rash. |
