Answer #1

Hi,

Do you wear leg and knee guards? If not, you really should. You’ll probably perform better since you won’t be concerned with landing softly due to the burns…

To treat the burns you have, keep them clean and dry. I used to get rugburn all the time when I was little, my dad loved pulling me around the carpet on my tummy. Ouch. Make sure you wash them with soap and water and use a little first aid ointment if you need it.

Good luck.

I’M GOING TO HAVE TO AGREE WITH THE PREWRAP IDEA UNDER YOUR KNEE PADS BECAUSE IF YOU DIVE FOR THE BALL LIKE ME YOUR KNEE PADS EVENTUALLY SLIDE OFF AND IF YOU LAND ON THE BURN IT WILL STING!

Answer #3

Answer #4
