Ripped skin

Submitted by FernieBoy on February 1, 2009 - 9:07am

I ripped a skin practicing transitions yesterday. Has this happened to anyone? Any suggestions on a fix? I was thinking either 1) cut out the ripped section even though its kind of big (7x1 inch) or 2) try and sew it somehow. I would try and get a new pair but getting this stuff on short notice is pretty tough in Canada and I race this Sat. Thanks for the input.

I just picked up one of these:

Seems like it will be perfect for working on skins.
