those really thick protec pads work like a charm, but i don't know if they make elbow pads, too.

i just go to target and buy the $20 set of razor pads and they last for a year or two

I have the 187 fly knee pads and they are AMAZING!!!! They are soooooo comfortable. They absorb almost all shock. im guessing the pro series is better and they have replacable caps.

learning to fall without pads is the best thing that ever happened to me.

you can get hurt with pads pretty good, and after a while it gets bad for your knees to keep bending them and jolting them while they are bent.

knee pads are amazing in the summer with shorts, but theyre bulky and annoying. learning to fall without pads is the best, but it cant replace em. im going to put some foam in my skinnies to not tear open my knees, idc bout bruises but tearing em sucks cuz it spurts blood like a fucking firehose

if the only reason why you have to wear them is to get in, go to wallmart and get barbie pads but if your actually using them get 661. i got a free pair when i used to ride dirtbikes and i use them for scooting now.

For elbow pads definitely get these: http://www.danscomp.com/615045.php?cat=SAFETYGEAR

I have them, along with 90% of the bikers I see. They're amazingly comfortable are soft shell so they won't get in the way. Also, only $20.00 if that helps you.

As far as Knee pads, I have: http://www.danscomp.com/613025.php?cat=SAFETYGEAR

They're soft shell/stretchy on the outside and have a thin hard shell on the inside right in the middle. They're actually really comfortable and only $20.00 aswell.

With how thin those pads are, you might as well just wear a sweatshirt. You bail and your knees will be done. Believe me, knee pads NEED to be bulky if you want your knees to last. Either way, knee pads will never last you a lifetime. I buy a set of pads and wear them til they are in pieces. Usually takes me a good year before I have to buy a new set. Just think of it this way, would you rather spend $25 a year for bulky pads and good knees later in life? Or live life when older with knees that are shot to hell because you wanted to go for a slimmer pad that won't do shit if you bail onto it? I'd take the $25 bulk pad option any day.

I'd recommend ProTec pads. They are the most comfortable, lasted the longest for me, and do their job very well. This is from experience of my last two sets I've bought. DO NOT buy Lizard Skins, they are terrible. The stitching on them sucks, and the plastic pads rip off kind of quickly. What took my Pro Tecs a year and a half for the plastic to start ripping from fabric, took my Lizard Skins about eight months. Plus Lizard Skins tend to slide down your legs after using them for a few months.


EDIT: To Matt's question, pads feel like they "get in the way" at first, but you get used to them after awhile. It does up my confidence when trying something big. Because I know if I need to bail I can just jump out to my knee's. Similair to a BMX or skateboarder on a vert ramp. You never see them run a trick out. They always go to their knee's. It's easier, and your body doesn't take so much of the impact. Depending on how high of a drop it is, of course. As for my recommendation, it's right above this EDIT line.
