i know it sounds weird but my i got some large volleyball knee pads, and they work great. plus they're pretty small so they fit under jeans and they're not uncomfortable

i like my knees not being swollen to the size of volleyballs.

i wear em religiously.

I rarely fall on my knees I normally end up falling forward onto my hands or rolling over my shoulder.

This is what I do

 

[Dewey]

i always end up falling on my back for some reason, either that or rolling

I never EVER ride without kneee pads. Simply because I've stacked on a VERY large box in shorts. Never again will I want to feel that pain.

This is how I think about it. I dont wear them for 2 reasons: First I feel like ill always be more commited and consistant if I dont wear them because without any pads you will forsure eat shit and I believe I will fall less if im scared to fall. Second I enjoy eating shit from time to time.

 

[RiccardoM]

I have them. I wear them when I'm at a park and my knees get loose.

I seem too pussy out more when I have pads or a helmet on. Its like having brakes on a bmx, your always gonna stop and pussy out every time a trick or jump gets sketchy, I can't get out of that stage

Fuck pads in general. They take away from the freedom of riding. Falling doesn't hurt that bad anyway, just take off the pads and done be a bitch.

I usually just fall and slide on my butt you just get use to it over time

what? it depends, if you screw up your knee and can never ride again its not nice. also sometimes you cannot control a fall. if you unexpectedley slip or if a part breaks on you while riding for example. anyway i havent worn them in ages but i bring them to the skatepark incase i think it is better to wear them as it can, especially in bigger ramps

The point of knee pads is to give you another option to bail, not to only protect your knees when you land on them. If you watch any action sport on tv you will watch them bail and when they do(if they have knee pads on) they will usually land on their knees and slide down.

I will never wear them though.

 

[Nate_Robertson]

wearing knee pads is gayyyyyyy

I somehow land on my knees really often. I have practiced that rolling, but sometimes its impossible to roll. Thats why Im going to buy kneepads. http://www.skatehut.co.uk/protection/pads/pro-tec_double_down_knee_pads.htm Those are only choice for me, because normal kneepads ruin style. I had those before, then I lost them.
