Any of you guys ever had any knee problems? I've had four surgeries, acls on both. I'm ten months off my last one and I've been skating again. If you have had problems what were they? do you wear a brace? What is your level of riding?

i haven't seriously injured mine, but they are always just really sore and I always hurt my left knee when riding, so I think i'm gonna go with a brace, does anybody have any suggestions for a good brace

the cti2 is the best out there, but it's custom and costs like 1600 bucks, which is why i aint rockin one! There are some other off the shelf braces that are good, cti edge and donjoy has a couple, although I had the donjoy one and its in the bottom of the lake, so it didnt work too well in the water, velcro and water don't mix.

how much am I lookin at for a decent gbrace, i'm not talkin about somethin that costs a whole lot and is really made for someone with a blown out knee or soemthin, i'm just talkin about something to provide support

dude your best bet would be too just work on strengthening your knees, with weights and stuff.it wont cost as much, and wont be a pain in the ass to wear.
