hey yo nyrie, it's ur friend in santa cruz evan!
i have definitely experienced that pain ur talking about when i first started skidding with my stupid 80's road drop bars.. I switched over to super long time trial bull horns that give me much better position on long and short skids, no more pain (just my knees lol). i just got a super long stem also so i can put my entire body like 75% on my front wheel no prob and i can skid for 2 miles!! we have 2 go for a ride someday k! take it easy!
