I dont think it's a good thing if you can tell what kind of rotor you have by your leg.

Naughty,naughty,very naughty Alex m8.It's never stopped amazing me how hot a M.T B disc can get,i've seen them at the Bill in the rain smoking like fcuk,but i suppose we've all seen that type of thing.I've had a quick feel of mine after a fire road descent just out of curiosity,and they we're fcuking hot.So props Alex for taking one for the team.
And if it does scar,at least ya'll be able to incorporate it into a tattoo design if you so wish,it loox a bit celtic as is Ha-ha.No nice story Alex m8,theres a lesson here P.B.

Nyson098 (Jan 12, 2011 at 22:02)

now just do that a few more times and a tattoo. yea discs get very hot i melted part of my glove on it and my rotor is a little discoloured and it smells bad after a good day of riding

psymosfear (Jul 28, 2010 at 14:06)

alexhoss (Jul 28, 2010 at 14:07)

I hope it doesn't scar.

nouser (Jul 28, 2010 at 14:16)

Why not!? That would be a radical scar.

alexhoss (Jul 28, 2010 at 14:23)

It covers like my inside of my leg.

psymosfear (Jul 28, 2010 at 14:48)

probably will since its inside leg, out side leg not as much. but inside for sure..the skin i softer..put polisporin to help it not scar and don't rub off the scab to soon lol

psymosfear (Jul 28, 2010 at 14:49)

robloveshiskona (Jul 28, 2010 at 14:13)

gnarkore (Jul 28, 2010 at 14:20)

alexhoss (Jul 28, 2010 at 14:24)

Shut up haha, I was picking up another bike and holding my bike with my legs haha.

big-taco (Jul 28, 2010 at 16:29)

dkidd (Jul 28, 2010 at 22:06)

steep downhill, lots of brakes, lean against rotor, et viola!

wes101 (Jul 28, 2010 at 17:24)

fishboy21 (Aug 2, 2010 at 16:10)

Avid tatoo?

redneckbmx (Jul 28, 2010 at 14:05)

hahah a fried of mine has one of these on his arm.

alexhoss (Jul 28, 2010 at 14:06)

How the hell do you get a disk rotor burn on your arm?

redneckbmx (Jul 28, 2010 at 14:07)

probably the same way you get one on your leg..

alexhoss (Jul 28, 2010 at 14:08)

I was picking up another bike and holding my bike with my legs, you would have to bend down and lean on your bike, why would somebody do that?

redneckbmx (Jul 28, 2010 at 14:11)

oh. i think he fell on it

tysonb (Jul 28, 2010 at 14:21)

or he was picking it up?

pierpoint33 (Aug 13, 2010 at 13:20)

or he just perpusly put his arm on it so he could look cool infront of the chiks.

Nyson098 (Jan 19, 2011 at 14:14)

i think he could have been fixing something on the back like a quick release and it burnt his arm cause he got to close.
