Is rollerblade safety gear safe for use in skateboarding?

Would http://www.citysports.com/Rollerblade-Pro-3-Package-Adult-Protective-Kit/126595/Product work?

I wouldn’t use it! They would be better than nothing and might be good enough if you are not doing any stunts but if you are concerned, you should go with a set designed for aggressive skating/skateboarding.
Aggressive pads cover more of your hand and other parts, and are designed to not shift when you hit them hard.

I am primarily a fitness skater and strongly prefer the aggressive gloves over the splint style wrist guards in that set. They cover the sides and back of the hand better and they are more flexible for picking up or holding things.
I rarely wear elbow or knee pads because i think they are uncomfortable.
I have seen people who hit wrong and had knee pads shift. many stitches to put the flap of skin back on the knee.

Recommend me some skateboarding gear?

Okay, I’m 15 and used to skate when I was about 9 or 10 but I never got anywhere with it, I just messed around. I’m thinking about starting skating again but taking it a bit more serious and trying to learn tricks. This question is aimed at skaters who are good at skating and know what they’re talking about.

I’m looking to built a skateboard and I’d like a bit of help choosing a decent deck, trucks & wheels etc. I don’t want anything too cheap / rubbish as I don’t want to have to keep upgrading if I get better.

P.S. I’m in the UK, also if you know any good websites to buy skating stuff from in the UK please let me know.

Thanks.
Thanks but that’s a US site..

DECK:
I’ve been skating a element deck quite some time, and i seriously recommend them. I’d go for an Iron Fist/Plan B deck too, your choice. The brand of the deck won’t really vary your ability to perform tricks and shit (unless you buy a cheap-ass board), it’s more the shape, size and weight you have to factor in. Study the boards in your local skate shops and look for a nice deck, even ask the okes in the shop, most of them will have some kind of skate knowledge. Anything under about 25pounds will not be of the highest quality.

TRUCKS:
Also element/iron fist – preferably something strong, but also light weight.

WHEELS/BEARINGS:
Wheels aren’t a major issue, just try to avoid the fat, wide wheels. Just stick to popular brands.
For the bearings i’d go for either abec7/abec9 even. Although even abec3 can be quite fast. Not such a big deal, as long as they turn.

Get whatever grip tape you like, something with a sick design/logo is always a treat

Hope this helps
Peace

Carter Retchuck, his mom and a mentor to Carter named David Seburn have started a program to gather used skateboards and helmets for those less fortunate at the YMCA North End Wellness Centre and the program is taking off.

Just a few weeks old, the collection bins are at four Skateboard shops in the city and they’re getting more and more full by the day. Did I mention that Carter is nine years old? Pretty cool eh?

How We Roll: Fall Skateboard Fashion

admin — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 12:35:01 +0000

From stylesectionla.com: Skateboard fashion has helped define L.A. style since the renegade Z-Boys first caught air in an empty swimming pool in ’70s-era Dogtown. Dressing to shred wasn’t about suiting up in high-tech athletic gear then, and it isn’t now. Rough-and-tumble streetwear is key to the sport’s mystique. And SoCal’s action-sports brands are experts at marrying form and function — turning out fashion-forward clothes that look as cool flying through a half-pipe as they do bellying up to a bar. Toss in some swanky denim and simple, punky accessories, and you’re ready to grind — or at least hit up your neighbor’s barbeque — in style.

Which is more important when skating: helmet, knee pads or elbow pads?

admin — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 01:48:27 +0000

I wanna buy some safety gear for when i go skateboarding, but i dont wanna waste that much money so i was wondering which one of these is more important or crucial to wear when skating? A helmet, elbow pads or knee pads.

Well, if your going to skate. Helmet’s out of the question, it will just get in the way, it’s more for BMX’ers anyway.

There’s not safety equipment crucial really. I find my knee’s are the worst of for me. But then again so are my arms.

I suggust knee pad’s with jeans over the top.
