Protection

[Derek Scootz]

I know some of you wear helmets when you ride, and that you are usually required to wear them at indoor parks, but i just would like to know how many people wear them pretty much every time they ride. i wear it sometimes, and i really need to get in the habit of wearing it more.

also, what other protection do you wear...regularly?

and do you wear support of any kind? like ankle/knee/wrist braces? just curious.

and what are your thoughts on wearing all kinds of protection?

street- nothing, unless its something gnarly, then helmet

local park- nothing, unless its something gnarly, then helmet

indoor park- helmet, kneepads

edit: o yea, my thoughts lol. i think its a good idea to wear a helmet whenever you ride. i dont really think its necessary for riding flatland, but with park and street, i deff suggest it. i dont make fun of people for wearing one, and i think its cool. i just choose not to when i ride local park because i dont do much gnarly stuff.

i do not wear protection and i know one of these days i am really going to regret it, last summer i had to go to the emergency room and it was amazing that i didnt get a really bad concussion from this one fall but i still do not wear pads when i do not need to.

I used to wear helmets at parks and then I started wearing them only when I was doing "big" stuff and now I just don't wear them. Most of them time I'm less than a foot off the ground anyway so it's all good.

I wear a helmet when I try something new at the park...
I'd like also to wear a wrist *something I can't spell* thing (lol) for the right hand...it hurts sometimes after a long session...but I don't have it, going to buy it in the near future...

At street...nothing...

But yeah, I don't make fun of ppl wearing pads and stuff...if it helps them...cool, I just don't feel comfortable when wearing so much on me...

 

[AJ]

be smart, wear a helmet... haha but on street you really dont have to

 

[Jake_H]

helmet always except street
knee pads too even in street cuz my knees have bad growth plates according to my doctor so i gotta wear em

 

[danielwarwick]

I never wear anything, but i really want to start wearing a helmet in park just because i feel more comfortable with one on doing bigger shit.
