Popping the Rotorburn cherry

[harmonix1234]

I know it isn't cool to glorify wounds, and injuries should be taken seriously, but as stupid as I feel I have to say I am a little proud of my first ever rotorburn.

The first time I heard the term I thought 'How stupid would you have to be'? Well, stupid enough to try and grab the back wheel between your legs while you adjust your seatpost height after a long descent (insert sizzling here).

We'll all want one like that now....... A mark of a true rotorburner. Just take an old rotor, heat it up in your favourite furnace/fireplace/oxy torch and apply to bare skin. Will be interesting where people place them - photos please.....

hahaha i went down this ridiculously big hill with my brakes on the disk went blue and warped i didn't notice until it touched my leg and i heard it burning

 

[callum1]

wow. i thought rotor burn meant the burning in your legs, when you pedal real hard...really missed the mark there

Yeah nice ... but man, you've got skinny feet (foot) compared to your gi-normous calves ...
