I'm an old guy just learning to ride an electric skateboard and used the tripple8 brand pads, which looked like a known skate brand and not the cheapest thing on amazon. I fell on the pavement with enough forward speed to slide the elbow pads up, exposing my elbow and forearm to pavement. I lost a lot of skin that day and damn did it hurt! The cloth part around the forearm gripped the pavement, while the plastic cap was barely scratched! I'm now thinking about beefy motocross pads, which looks like riot gear armor...

Helmets are cheap, funerals aren't. Helmets are replaceable, you are not. I can't recall how many times my life has been saved by a helmet. I've cracked, as in outright destroyed, two. Both times I was taken out by another skater, and both times laid out flat on my back. Both times I was very grateful it wasn't my skull. We're all aware they are uncomfortable and unsightly, but comfort and looking cool is no excuse to ignore your well-being. Take care of yourself, my friends. Protect your head.

As i tell my kid " you head is worth more than a helmet" and i lead by example. I wont skate without one. Spend the extra money if you can , its worth it as alot of the cheaper ones are not multiple impact rated and that means if it saved your head once , its done its job and is destined for the bin as you dont want to try your luck on another big bash to the head for it to fail. Once again , your head is worth more than a helmet and i cant drive that home enough. You will get use to the weight , my last helmet was a sweat saver and im a wee little thing and after a while it just becomes part of what skating feels like but i handed my sweat saver on to a friend as cut off my dreads and my head shrank. Its a good helmet and saved me a few times on some bad falls. Im now giving the S1 lifer a go in as the size is more adjustable if i end up growing my dreads back and im now getting use to the feel of a diffent helmet all over again . You get that, just like getting use to a new board or skates.

@@TwoQs hence my point of spending the extra money . The tony halk tripple 8 sweat saver is still up there as one of the earily obtained yet good quality skate helmets but when getting a sweat saver , not all are equal. Tripple 8 sell a certified and a non certifed versons. There is a diffents in price point but that price point diffents is justified and its always best to get a " skate certification " as anything thats just bike certified is only front impact rated but skate certification is front , rear and side impact rated. What are you using now helmet wise? So id you work out what that grind was called? You would have that nailed by now.

do these come in different colors? I seen that if they do,theyre usually a "Pro" model or has someones name attached to them, but does that make a difference in the physical skates beyond aesthetics?
@TwoQs Жыл бұрын
Hello, I believe the "basics" which are the budget version of the Aeons only come in black. Pro models typically have some better hardware like liners, buckles that sort of thing and come in different colors but are a bit more expensive. I am still riding the Aeon basics every day and I would recommend them if you are trying to keep costs down. You can always upgrade things yourself over time. If you have the money go for the pro's as you will be future proofing yourself in a sense.
