Fire hose to the sack...

junglesmacks 04-18-2006, 7:51 AM

..thats what it felt like this weekend when I skidded out after that huge W2W.. like someone spraying a freakin firemans hose right where it counts.. OUCH!! I think we have all been there at least once..

So tell me.. what is a good way to fall when you fall backwards to keep your jewels protected? Sounds like a crazy question but I'm serious.. it actually happened twice.. I'm not letting that happen again..

Wear a pair of "whities" under your boarshorts...or get a speedo to wear under...or get Jet Pilot Crown Jewels that have the liner built in. Or keep an ice pack on board cause it happens at least a couple times a season.

Make sure you have your girlfriend on board in case you need some "first aid".

before clicking I thought this was going to be a firehose to a fat sack with a filltime of like 20 seconds. that would have been more amusing.

I agree. Some one should hook up a fire hose to a fat sack and tape it!

Ha, ha... If you ride long enough you've experience that. A few guys I know wear the jet pilot shorts with the liner. That seems to help. I just do like Daniel and make sure to have the GF on board to "cup" my nuts after it happens. LOL.

Wait till you do it 2 times in a row. It'll make you almost want to cry.

I started using Under Armor shorts under trunks for that very reason (backroll to ba11slap).

Was gonna post a pic of them from Google Images, but all the pics looked, how should we say, non-hetero.

I wear my jockstrap when I ride so this kinda thing NEVER happens. Plus chicks dig it!

Did I see a SPEEDO reference?
Under Armour is a great alternative...
Nothing ruins a run more than a "ball burner"

Under Armor is great. Good protection and dries quickly.

Are you talking about the Under Armour "Compression Shorts"?

They say that they are made out of microfiber.. does that actually make a difference against the g-forces of water at 25mph?

It keeps everything together. Like bracing for impact.
I use triathalon shorts, they're like bike pants. And yes the Chicks love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

My GF just read this and was like.. "Damn.. if I knew it was that bad I could have offered CPR.."

I wear a pair of the long speedos under my boardshorts to reduce the risk of the dreaded sack-splitter.

C.I.E., dude I've done the twice in a row thing too. I'm pretty sure an angel loses its wings when that happens.

Under armour compression shorts are what i have been wearing for about 2 years now, They are great. Dry quickly and are comfortable.

back to back two to the sack = time to sit down and put a cold beverage between your legs and watch someone else do it.
