Cheers! I’m definitely going to be riding with full pads, although for small slow commutes I may just roll with kneepads and a helmet (and probably gloves)
But for >20mph speeds do you have any recommendations for gear? What do you wear?
Right now I have full 187 pads (from skating) and I picked up a motorcycle helmet.
If I rode that fast on pavement I’d wear skate shoes with good grip, wrist guards, helmet, and probably knee pads and elbow pads. Maybe worth it to practice emergency braking.
I’d be ready to roll too. If you go down at speed you need to get rid of the kinetic energy and it’s better to do it with a roll than skidding to a halt.
Day 1 was a huge success. This is so fun!
I wore full pads too, and I’ll keep doing that. I’m an avid bowl skater and am used to knee sliding, so I’m hoping that comes in handy if I ever need to bail at speed.
I LOVE this thing though. I can’t believe how fun it is.
