does anyone else feel fairly intense pain in the calves and thighs when doing tail manuals or presses?

no. occasionally I flip over backwards though, cause my tails are short. that sometimes hurts depending on the surface you land on.

ya i always get pain from it.  i think its what gives me the shin bang.  cuz  i can do nose butters alll day.

this is only with tail butters...presses on rails are fine.  i got spks too so idno what the deal is. maybe jus cuz i lack defined calves hahah

rockered skis, 100x easier and better looking.  Not to mention you acctually have control while you're doing it

It only happens to me if I feel hard earlier in the day. But it might be your boots and how well they fit.
