Hairless Shins?

[Ice-Is-Scary]

Anyone else have gnarly bald patches of no hair on their shins from skiing? My legs look retarded. I don't think the hair will ever come back.

 

[eheath]

No I wear ski socks...

 

[AwR]

same thing with my shins and i do wear socks, i dont care considering i not that hairy of a guy

 

[Ice-Is-Scary]

I wear ski socks and it still rubs off my hair, not that is painful anymore, I don't have any hair and it doesn't grow back in the summer. Poor shins....

 

[Lax_Bro40]

stop complaining u little bitch

 

[Ifeinforsnow]

shower more but now its to late

 

[DENALI44]

shit 'll buff out, if you are concerned about preserving your shin hair then shave your shins during season so it doesnt get ripped out, haha.

 

[under_achieved]

I sport my patch shins with pride.

 

[Ryno]

shave the rest of ur body...it will make you faster

 

[twintipteles]

yeah i have the same issue, i think its particularly bad from teleing, cuz i flex my boots every turn.

 

[t_walker]

maybe tighter boots? cant say ive ever expierenced the problem but it seems to me if ur boots are rubbing that bad they are too loose!

 

[spere]

its the new style

 

[TWoods]

It's like a goggle tan. It's a badge of honor. When people ask, just say that you ski so hard that your hair falls out.

....so I wear lycra tights when I ski...I take them off after skiing today, and I pull them off in such a way that they are inside out after i pull them off. there were tons of leg hairs in the calf area of the inside out tights, and I'm talking like a fuck ton of hairs in there. now i'm going to save all the hairs from the inside of my tights each time i take them off, and see how much hair I lose, cause as of right now it seems like i have probably lost half my leg hair.

if you think I'm weird, fuck you, i'm like a fucking scientist.

and fuck anyone who has something to say about tights.

 

[JoakimHayland]

hahahaha, funny

 

[iheartskiing7]

hahahaha

 

[Ice-Is-Scary]

yeah and I just realised yesterday my boots that I've been skiing on for 4+ years (ever since I started skiing) don't have fucking footbeds in them and are missing two straps and a plastic piece on each boot. Boots are coming in from Atomic this week though so I'm in good shape

 

[skier_boy26]

i like that bald spot. during the summer it kind of grows back, and its back to the point of just bald. its sick

 

[feezy]

i died laughing.

 

[Jaskittin]

Nope, not from ski boots. It took a while to grow back the patch that my friend burned with a match though.

 

[Stinkey_egg]

i got it. on the back where the boot ends i have a huge spot of no hair and along the inside i got no hair. and i do wear ski socks. people at school think it's retarted but i just say it's skiing man!

 

[doubleplanks16]

your just not a furry person

 

[Elife]

i have bare spots just to the inside of my shins on both legs from skiing, its perfectly bare and then hair all around it, plus I'm really white and I have scars from my mtn bike pedals, so I look pretty awesome in shorts

 

[Tapes]

I bet ya do.

 

[R-Bertsch]

then you can make a hat!

 

[CEDARIMAGE]

cool

 

[fighting_irish]

shut the fuck up^

 

[bigdaddytmac]

Yeah the front of my lower shins is completely bald, and I always wear socks too.

 

[Belle.Vue.]

wow, I had no idea that this was such a problem for guys! I feel bad, but I was laughing my ass off when I read this.

 

[-_-Johnny-_-]

I just shawed my legs to go skiing.. cuz the boot was like pulling my leg hair

 

[Jaskittin]

^Did your boyfriend do that too?

 

[D_Mezz]

that happened to me last year but only one small spot and on my left shin! and i wear ski socks??? i duno its weird but w/e

 

[.John.]

haha, I've got the bald shins too

 

[Raek]

yeah i have that too..

then the awkward moments come at the beach when people think you attemepted to shave.

 

[pierceme]

Haha, thats great. I was just noticing this the other day and I was wondering what it was from. Glad im not the only one with male pattern baldness on my shins

 

[Ice-Is-Scary]

well when you only have one pair of boots throughout your entire skiing career you don't notice shit like that, nobody told me. It's not like plastic down there but it's just some sewn in cloth shit so I just assumed it was a footbed, but its not.

 

[Raek]

i have had the same boots for 3 years. I intend for them to last me.but the bottoms are getting eaten up so ill ahve to get new ones. i love having a perfect fitting boot.

 

[VTPE]

I get it on my calves, not my shins and I wear socks over it

I was hoping I wasn't the only one with this odd hair removing problems.

 

[cLyOnS_45]

no. your shins must be retarded.

 

[Raek]

word. you are.

 

[Ice-Is-Scary]

I beyond excited for my M11's to come. The boots I have no are redonk, they don't even fit my feet really, my foot swims around in the boot and they are just falling apart, I'm gonna get a nice performance boost with my new boots, plus they have built in heaters and word on the street is they are real stiff and fuck shit up
