k thanks will try :P

You should be able to bend the knee without the bindings stopping you !?
-
no i mean when i walk the knee bar pushes my knee backwards... why knee doesnt go backwards (inwards)
-
i no wat u mean m8 do u wear knee pads? thts what stopped pressure going thru my knees
-
Bending the knee backwards is a regular one and causes a condition called Bockers Knee
Not serious but a little irritating
Once you build up the muscles it should pass also wearing something like the Pit Dirt knee pads helps as it takes some of the strain off of the knee joint
When I used the knee bars I used to adjust them a little lower so the pads located on the bar and moved the pressure points onto my shins this helped with the pressure on my knees
-
ok thanks for the great info :D
-
ryt guys u can help me out now :P since ive had my stilts my m8 has been naggin me saying tht my bar was too low and on inspection i found it was :P so i raised it to were it is ment to be acording to the book but for some reason it feels weird is it coz i ent used to it or am i just weird ;D :angel:

Show us a pic so its better to judge, generally it should sit just under your knee cap however some people prefer it slightly lower (like Kiola) ;)
-

-
