|  | Claudine, those look really cool.  I am realizing that trying to prevent injuries is worth a lot.  I recently bought a heating/cooling pad and realized I needed two more.  I need to heat my quads before streching and ice them when I get home.  I have serious tendonitis in my quads and it is F'n painfull. It is funny how we priortize things or put a price on things.  I used to go to the bar every weekend and spend $100 and then I am cheap with things that really matter.  Claudine, you hip issue seems to be a pretty challenging issue for you.  I wonder if you might be able to change your technique a litte so that you don't fall on your hip?  To me, hippers are from straightening your legs too much, your legs just giving out, or approach?  Although I suck, if I win the lotto I will fly out there and help you out.  Didn't you say you got a camera with video?  If so, ask a friend at your park to video you at least one run every session.  Post those vids and get some feedback.  I love videos.

 : : : I got a tailbone pad thats incredible awhile ago.  Now I just need to find a sturdy pair of shorts, velcro this in.  Much cheapier then dead dog shorts.

 : : Looks very good, althoug a tad expensive. But maybe it's even denser than the stuff I have, that would justify the price. Seems that you finally found a source for some serious stuff!

 : All the shorts cost here $80, so its cheap in comparison.  Worth the cost if it means I dont have to take a layoff.  No skating 1 week and counting, I'm sad!  I still have a hematoma, stiffness, but no pain now.
