Ok i hate to say this but i have really wide legs at the moment and im having trouble finding pads that dont dig in. I have huge white and black ones but they are a bit too tight really.
I went to a place called Aireculture (surf/skating shop) and the pads there were really crapy and small, even the ones that said large were tiny!!!
Anyone got any ideas on some bigger ones???

Nicky have you ever tried the Pit Dirt ones from Pro-Jump?
Loads of bockers wear them, they help fill the gap and strap in well. Kiola wears them so next time you see him you'll be able to check them out for real!
-
lol next time???? i havnt met him yet. ;D
To be honest with you im not sure on the look of them. I know i shouldnt worry about the look just the safety but im not sure on the whole long bit.
My legs fit the bar easy as thier wide its just when i jump or just walk the stretchy strap at the back rolls up and cuts into my leg making it uncomfortable. (sorry about the spelling, Im bad at it lol)
I liked your pink ones you do as they match my bocks and trousers but they looked too small for me like everything else. :'(

Opps I never realised you hadn't met Kiola! :-[
I think it is actually the design of them that people like because it helps keep them in place. Check out Kiola's picture below - people who wear them usually strap them over their stilts!

Yeah! I keep telling him to come over but he never does the git (lol).
Im hoping he might be able to on Monday when these other guys come to bude.
Yeah about the pads What sort of size do the stretch to then?

They come in either kids or adult sizes - more of a one size fit all.

I'm on a set of these, may seem a bit pricey, but they're great, and do the job very well.

If you want to keep with a bit of pink, look at King Kong protection.

oooooooo yeah i like the pink ones. I love pink over black!!!! :-*
Thanks for that.
They seem like they might be it as they arent big and bulky which is not good if your legs are already bulky lol

-
No worries. King Kong do gloves, knee pads, shin pads in pink/black black.
