Shaved My Legs

Today I got my spk boots and I tried them on.  They fit a lot better than my old boots.  When I first put them on, I realized that mr leghair was causing me a lot of pain, then I shaved my legs.  Problem solved.  I was wondering if anyone does this?

Last year at windells all of my leg hair got pulled out.  Looking down my boots was like looking to a hair-lined hole, and my lower leg turned into one big blister, which didn't help my skiing.

Well your boots don't fit properly. And do you wear ski socks?

i get rid of a snall amount of hair on the front of my shins at eh beginning of the season. it doesn;t grow backk all season, until i stop skiing in the summer. If i don't i get really sore shins and ingrown hairs, making it too painful to want to ski for a very long time. I know other people that do it too.

I have ski socks and I am fucking tired of people telling me what I should put on my feet, the boots fit me.  I just seem to have sneaky hairs that weave through my socks and into the liner, its no fun.

Sometimes I shave one leg so when I'm lying in bed I can rub them together and it feels like I'm sleeping with a hot chick.






I'm kidding. Shit. You kids need to not take things so seriously.

Yeah 3 boots ago, my rossis would not give me a problem, 2 boots ago my heads would grab it off of my shin a lot but some other hair would be fucked with too.  As soon as I put my SPKs on I could feel my hair getting caught up, and it was pulling out just from walking.  Now my hairless legs make it feel like heaven when I put these boots on.

wakeboarders shave their feet and bottom calves so it the boots don't pull their hair out and stuff. thats actually a good idea, no one wears shorts in the winter so no one can make fun of you.

I used to do it everyday in high school because I had to get my ankles taped.

It doesn't make you weird who cares, makes you more comfortable riding then do it.

most of my friends are always so happy when winter comes around cuz they dont have to shave as much. but I shave my legs more in the winter, any bit of leg hair + front of ski boots = pain

mine always hurt like a bitch for the first day or two of the season then after that a patch gets completely bald for the rest of the winter and it's all good. I think just letting the hairs get pulled out will work better in the long run than shaving them cuz now you'll get stubble and experience it all over again.

I'm seeing how it hurts? unless you don't have ski socks on, then yeh, it would get painful.
Even though i wear ski socks, i still lose some shin hair due to rubbing i guess haha

i did just a couple days ago, but thats because regions and state swimming were coming up. iv never thought about shaving my legs for anything else but swimming. and fuck man, god gave me hair for a reason. its cold as shit without it. seriously, im impressed with girls. i seriously just shaved off a pair of natural long-johns. its freezing. to make matters worse, my arms, pits, legs, and stomach are regrowing at the moment, and it itches like shit.
