Remember the best ' Safe Practice' is all ways wear safety gear. :)
No one plan to fall over but it does happen. :P
Safety gear is cool, more cooler the a plastic cast around a broken wrist. :o
When your bocking in public wear some and show that it's cool, and it's not big a clever not the wear any ! 8)
One very important piont is does it fit you !
There's on piont wearing pads too big or small you could end up worst off.
I just brought some love knee/shin pads off EBAY and there too small for me :(
You may not be able to try before you buy but ask others your size what works for them ask on here !? :)
These are what I got but I'm so big they don't fit very well may MOD them or may sell them :-\

Forgot to add that I can't help notice the number of posted picture of people doing tricks NOT wear safety gear !
Shame on you !?
-

if people laugh at you for wearing safety stuff, laugh back when there in hospital

I've been think of a great poster to promote safety gear.
It's a picture of two boys ( could be girls ) both hold their wrists, ones got a scuff on his wrist guard the others got a plaster cast on, the caption reads
Now who looks cool ?

dark thats a really good idea! love how its simple but would be affective

i wear knee pads but thats partly because it helps pad my knee in more, so safety gear can be used not only as a safety aspect but also as a way of bein more secure on your bocks am ordering some wrist gaurds soon

-
Before I got my pair I got some cheap pads, I've now got some better ones !
-
i didnt think id need um at first n dnt rli need um now as im quite gd at fallin over had plenty of practice at it so i know not to put my hands out and rol so i land on my back lol but want them cuz im startin to hurt my back lol
-
im totaly down with safty gear, but lets face it living dangerusly is fun and chicks dig scars!!
but if it helps all i was watching a vid once were some kid took a tumble on some blades and bumped the old noggin and knocked himself out.. didnt look to major a fall... but there was blood poring out his head, the 'friend' with the vid cam lifted his head off the floor laffing his mate was unconcious...
the vid was removed due to, two hours after the fall the kid died... scary crap that you trip get knocked out and all your suppose friend is laffing just filming you die...
oh and the one story that honestly scared the crap out of me... a friend of an ex was telling me how when he was younger some mates were messing around and did a 'pig pile' on him, he broke his kneck but no one new and just thought he was a wuss for crying in the corner (he was at scouts at the time) once found out and in hospital they gave him anistetic to knock him out... but all it did was paralize him, he could feel everything but couldnt do anything about it. dolts drilled in his scull, opened up and spine pinned...
not fun...
stay safe people..

I'm glad I practise what I preach 8)
I was racing some lads running for fun and I've just fallen for the first time ( hopefully the last ). I was wear knee,eblow and wrist guards apart from a bash on the chest and what I hope is just bang to my palm I fine :-\

Before I got my pair I got some cheap pads, I've now got some better ones !
Three day with my new pads and I fall over when running, put my palms ( wrist guards ) upto my head and let the elbow pads take the impact, the knee found their own landing !? My shoulder aches and I've got a cut on my chest but I got up from it. People laught a bit, but would they think it funny if I'd broken an arm ? Thing was I'd just told a lad and his dad who was thinking of getting some always wear pads !
-
the jacket with elbow,shoulder and spine protector is a good buy, its comfy, lite, and has good mobility, i only got it yesty, but it saved me gettin a broken elbow! (thats 4times ive fallen off now!! >:( )
-
Glad to hear you like it :)
We have had some good feedback on these jackets. Remember you can use the back protectoron its own too.
-
With my track record, I think ill use the lot, especially as I have the new springs now! I just need helmet and knee pads.
-
I got the jacket yesterday also, its really comfortable and doesnt restrict movement at all. Very Pleased. ;D
