Knee Braces worth the money????

DirtyCracker · Guest

SOo was out riding today. First set went smoothly. Decided to just do a couple runs second set throw every trick i had back 2 back bam bam bam.

sooo like 6th trick into my line go for most easy front shuv and did the splits really bad. I did the splits during the summer really bad and i couldnt walk for like a month and couldnt ride for almost 2months. I tryed wearing one of the braces u buy at walmart gayness with the little hinges didnt feel like it did anything so i took it off.

http://www.buywake.com/catalog/detail/EV_Co8rD would something like this help me out. My knee couldnt handle drops either on gaps and off bigwhite at owc. soo im thinkn this might help?

and i have never experienced a pain worst then doing the splits the second time around on a hurt knee. cant bend it right now Laughing

oh and surgery is out of question for now. no insurance still owe like 900 dollars from last time i went to doctor for my knee

DirtyCracker, if you do get one worth having, it is likely it will cost over a thousand dollars. The brace you found will work, but it's not a guarantee against re-injury. If you want the safest brace possible, you will have to get it custom fitted to your leg. I have a CTi2 that does the job well, but the hardware is a bit on the cheap side. I would suggest looking into similar company.

i heard me knee slightly over summer on a fs flip, my i stuck it and my front let like colapsed and i couldnt walk really good for a day, and it hurt for a good few weeks, i wore a nice brace and it felt good. Id suggest getting it so u dont hurt yourself more.
