Asphalt and bones at speed don’t mix.
Just ordered one of these:
The thunders are great gloves too. Sector9 leather gloves selection is just on point all around.
Motonosity has that on youtube it’s cool
@Deckoz hell ya man!
I wear (in addition to TSG Pass):
S9 elbow pads S9 knee pads Wrist guards
Always. Even if I’m just derping around. Even on “tests.” Even when it’s not a “serious ride”
I wear a skateboard helmet a ski mask(Most people hate me because of this) because my ears get cold and before I ride I pray that I don’t fall and get scrapped up.
I personally wear a motorcycle jacket, bike helmet and mechanix mpact gloves. I’ve taken a few spills at speed (~18-20mph), tucked and roll but the motorcycle jacket have proved its worth. saved my shoulder and elbows, I was able to jump up right away and keep skating.
not too different…
- TSG Pass
- Mace Armored Mountain bike gloves / TSG Worker
- Dainese Soft Skins Elbow or Alpinestars Bionic Jacket 2 MX Motocross with spine for speed runs
- TSG Riot Shin Pad Socks
- TSG DHP
- Triple 8 T8 Bum Saver Shorts
when that happen man
Gloves and sunglasses. My eyes are just filled with dust and so are my fingernails after a long run.
To much brakes introduced the warbles lol. More specifically I forgot to set to a reasonable battery regen value… Lol -50 per esc… Oops meant -15 lol. all the stopping power.
Are tsg helmets a one use item?
All helmets are a one use item. While my pass has minor scratches. I high sided in the 25-35mph range and smacked it pretty good. I wouldn’t wear it again.
Ahh ok, I thought it was just minor scratches
TSG might have a trade-in thing where you can return it for a new one
Why would they do that lol so they can pay to bin it?
What’s your opinion on shoulder pads?
Lol after yesterday… I want one lol… The high side landing on my shoulder blade/spine protector overstretched my upper bicep tendon, coracohumeral ligament, and have a swollen subdeltoid bursa from being smooshed against the acromion . Impact was to the rear of the body but overstretched these on its way to a dislocated shoulder pushing out the front.
I’m actually trying to find a shoulder pad now. That can be worn under a kevlar shirt…for my leading shoulder as this is the 3rd time I’ve injured it. Lol
Damn lol…after seeing the amount of shoulder injuries from MTB and MX, I started wondering if it was a good idea to do it for esk8 too…that answers the question.
Though…some recommended hard plastic protectors too, so during an accident you can slide a bit. Not sure how viable this is though for shoulder and back protectors.
