Does anybody know where to buy A good pair of wrist protectors.

Some that will offer good protection at a reasonable price.

Not that i've needed them YET but lets face it when your going down, the hands come out to stop the fall.

The Last thing i need is a few weeks off work for playing on jumping stilts

Yeah was glad i was wearing my wrist protectors, trying to race my dad while i was on the powerisers on concrete was a bad idea at this stage

flat on my face but luckily the wrist guards did their job and all was good.

Unfortunately can't help you with where to get some reasonably priced as mine were a birthday present with my powerisers (else my mum would have had kittens

)

Hope you find some soon before you need them.

Question? do the pads you have protect the palms. from your picture they look like they pretty good.

l7ttledevil · « **Reply #5 on:** August 14, 2006, 09:05:47 PM »

Yes they do they've got like a plastic slider sort of thing which sits on your palm, so in the invent of a bail forwards that hits the floor and gets scratched rather than your lovely baby soft hands

The whole pad set is well made and comfortable, but as with all pads i've tried you sweat like i don't know what.

Thanks, ive been looking around and have found a couple of pairs in different places with different price's.

Think i will get some ordered tonite. Just a bit gutted i cant get out on my stilts tonite coz of the rain. and it's not so much fun walking round the house in them. $:-\$

l7ttledevil · « **Reply #7 on:** August 14, 2006, 09:17:33 PM »

Yeah rain stinks with these doesnt it lol luckily the rain eased off here and the paths dried out so i went out for a play

.

Don't suppose u have Msn do you? as its just faster to ask questions and get answers on there rather than this which seems like sending letters and waiting for a reply lol.

My address is on the little MSN button on the side if you want to add me

Now There's a nice set of wrist protectors shame the cheeky little blitters sell the left and right hand seperately.

I'd personally recommend the Anvil Tripak from Ridethehill, its £25 and they really are good. A few of our other bouncers have ordered them too. I'd go for a medium if you're of a slim build. Knees are a bit big on the velcro / elastic but nothing a bit of stick-on velco cant fix. That reminds me....

arthur · « **Reply #11 on:** October 05, 2006, 08:20:17 PM »

luke im 12 and im not fat so what size pads should i get form ride the hill if i get the anvill tripak?

Lukey · « **Reply #12 on:** October 06, 2006, 04:28:31 PM »

Try the small I guess? Cant be much more helpful than that. There is a phone number on the site so if you call them with your stats like I did they'll put you right. I was going to do a large before I spoke to them so just as well I did!

arthur · « **Reply #13 on:** October 06, 2006, 07:51:07 PM »

when i buy some protection for knees and wrists and elbows i will be getting mine from http://ridethehill.com/Shop/shop_tripaks.html
i am going to get the anvil tripack

Lukey · « **Reply #14 on:** October 07, 2006, 03:41:07 PM »

I'll vouch personally that the Anvil Tri-Pack are really good, I use them every time and they're well tough!

arthur · « **Reply #15 on:** October 22, 2006, 08:50:31 PM »

ive recieved my wrist, knee and elbow protetors from ride the hill
and personally i think that they are well worth the money
£25 well spent

Ogi · « **Reply #16 on:** October 26, 2006, 01:49:12 PM »

I bought a set of wrist, elbow, knee protectors from Leisure Lakes in Bury, they were marked up at £25 but then at the counter I was charged £18.99 ... Bargin!

Lukey · « **Reply #17 on:** October 29, 2006, 09:09:12 PM »

Good effort, I love it when that happens! What did you spend the spare £6 on?

olliestev · « **Reply #18 on:** November 18, 2006, 05:08:04 PM »

hey lukey what size did you get in the end medium? how big are you? cos im gunna get some and im 6'2" but ive got like a 25cm handspan and BIG legs (im not fat just well built) so should i get the large or are they really big?

cheers

Lukey · « **Reply #19 on:** November 20, 2006, 11:28:42 PM »

I went for medium from ridethehill.com , get in touch with them on the phone and maybe they'll put together a mix especially?

dragon · « **Reply #20 on:** January 09, 2007, 07:26:53 PM »

dear all
ive been bouncing for a while now quite confdent walking running etc

for the first time i fell over i was running full pelt and a wet leaf landed in my path there was nothing i could do except from planting my body in the tarmac

ive broken the hard bit in the wrist guard and cracked an elbow pad

so just goes to prove its all worth it sitting there strapping yourself into all those pads

Locky · « **Reply #21 on:** January 09, 2007, 07:33:24 PM »

This just shows how the smallest of things can literally throw you.
If the plastic on the wrist guards is bust then you've almost certainly saved yourself from a broken arm/wrist
(it also means you need new pads)

I guess you suffered usual scuffs and bruises?

dragon · « **Reply #22 on:** January 09, 2007, 07:53:33 PM »

ive got a huge bruised ego

im looking into new pads
i always put all my pads on, i work for myself so i cant aford to break any thing

apart from the pads

Lukey · « **Reply #23 on:** January 14, 2007, 11:50:49 PM »

Rather the pads than you!!

Dark Knight · « **Reply #24 on:** July 01, 2007, 12:29:14 AM »

I got a pair of NO FEAR wrist and knee pads from SPORTS WORLD for £5

The knee pads are a little small ( all size use the same plastic pads ) but the wrist protectors look OK ( never needed then yet ) !
