Hey there

Welcome to the forum

A lot of the bockers I know do use the "Pit Dirt" knee pads as seen here http://www.pro-jump.co.uk/pp/ProJump-Safety-Protection-Gear/Knee-Pads-A.html

These provide a very good secure fit and some of the guys like to wrap the velcro all around the stilts too!

You can buy cheap Knee & Wrist pads from " No Fear " for £5 ( look round ) there not that bad even at that price.
Remeber knee pad only cover the knee , the "pit dirt" which are in the Pro Jump store also cover the lower leg should you fall on a wall/stairs.
Adult Knee / Shin and Elbow / Forearm Pads are only £17 a worth it  :)
