Damn! Exactly why I don't do shid like that. I know, though, that it doesn't take that to fall. I too don't have any riding pants, but after seeing something like that I may reconsider.
yes that's going to need stiches and yes it is going to be sore and yes it is going to take over two months to heal. That is pretty much what my knee looked like when I went down at the end of the year. Dec 30 to be exact and I still have a dime size scab.

OUCH!
Yup. That's what my knee looked like when I had my accident 17 years ago. And I still don't have leather pants yet. Soon, baby, soon.
As a testament to the leather, however, I did have the leather jacket on at the time and my upper body was completely unscathed, though I was sliding across the pavement on my chest.
Rev, will those stay on in a long slide? It might be worse to have the stripping off you than not have them at all.
--Wag--

They are Icon Field armor. Will they stay on in a long slide? Probably, I dunno. Will they be better than just jeans? Hell yeah, They go on under my jeans, over my socks and tucked into the top of my riding boots. Took some getting used to but they are pretty comfy now and they keep your knees warm. They were $65 from Newenough.
Best part is you don't have to look all commited when you are riding to work, or just down to the cafe.

yep. no riding pants for me either. i really should get some one of these days.
but, that being said, i wouldn't be stunting like that with no armor on my lower half. i think ya take enough of a chance just riding with no protection on your lower half, let alone stunting. kid didn't look like he minded the hole in his knee, though...he's probably proud of it.

I don't think they will come off. They are secure to your leg. Even if they only stay on for 200 out of a 300 foot slide, I'll still come out in better shape.
They will be even more comfy after some wear time and the fabric getting streched a little to fit my "Popeye calves". As my wife puts it.
the camera just about missed it, but boy, he hit the ground HARD
