Ok.. i haven't ridden many decks only a pro model and an old A.I have been ridin the old A lately but yesterday i switched back to the pro cause my wheels are wearing down and i needed more ground clearance. anyway i noticed that the pro is absolutely murder on on the ankles if it smacks you .the old A isn't nearly as bad. i just wondered if anyone else found that some decks are "friendlier' than others.by the way i can't just toughen up,i'm old so it takes me twice as long to heal,and quiting scootering is just not an option. i'm addicted.

Metal flying at you will always hurt. Try thicker shoes.
As far as a friendly deck... I don't think one exists. You could throw some foam on it if it is that bad.
I know what you mean, because I have clipped my shin and ankle on triple whips and didn't ride the rest of the day.

The deck plate on my tsi is chipped from many a bail and now closely resembles a serrated blade. I feel your pain brother. Buy high-top sneakers if your that much of a pussy. Or just catch your whips.
Also: I call BS on your elderly claim. Pics or it didn't happen good sir.

You could always find a belt sander and round the edges a little. And don't listen to the bitchy kids who think they're all that like Kieran.
