Holes in pants from skidding

The other day when I was goofing around with a friend I ripped a small, maybe 2-3 inch hole in the crotch of my jeans. We had a good laugh. Goofed around some more. And I went home and fixed it.
It happened again the next day. So I patched it up with some spare denim.
Then I ripped a hole in the patch. At this point the pants are goners.

Today, after a week and a few days of tear-free skids, it happened yet again. This time in my favorite pair of shorts.

I'm pretty sure it happened cause I didn't settle down with the stem in the right place against my hip when I started to skid. I think it's kind of funny.

Now I knew that skidding was fun (I try to avoid it, preferring £4 on brake blocks every 6 months to £10 a month on new tyres), but a crotch wear issue?! That's funny. Probably justifies some decent tough/hard-wearing shorts.

by 'skidding', do you mean shitting yourself?

Try removing the jeans completely when having sex.

oh really...wow how fascinating....awesome...right on....

I never ripped any jeans or shorts on one skid, but having posted here for a remedy to wearing out the seat / and / or gusset of my jeans from riding I've discovered a solution. Upon purchasing a new pair, I line the posterior with heavy duty masking tape - the threaded unrippable type. I have a pair that look like a mosquito net that I have worn for about eight months and they have not failed. I do wonder what non-cyclists must think of my thread bare rear though.

is it because you sag your pants?

but it's better this way. Now the pants can stay on during sex! :P

I ripped my nudies at the crotch after about 4 months wear. No jeans are invincible

go for the denim with stretch in it... dont rip at the crotch anywhere near as much. uniqlo or cheap monday...

wear latex trousers when you are skidding...

uniqlo are quite hit & miss with their jeans. Not all of the skinny ones are that stretchy. If you insist on jeans, I think you can't go wrong with H&M skinnies (which do stretch, at least atm) for £14.99 a pair.

loads of little indians being whipped. bargain IMO

just joshing i buy from these places aswell
