New to the skate parks. What I've achieved so far.

[Little]

I think I need some advice ��������

Bruised and grazed butt cheeks and leg



Scraped knee


Buggered up skate



Getting stuck

And broken stops


Any gems of wisdom would be much appreciated lol ��

Keep up the work and get a little more padding on your bottom.
Like maybe longer shorts.

Larry O and thanks for the post and sharing your experience.

But a really strong skate that will live up to any abuse you throw at it is a Synder. You can pick them up really cheap on ebay if you look long enough for your size.

As an example here is a pair:

Hey Larry I have suregrip fame boots with the black avenger plates, bionic bigfoot stops and I swap between hyper rollo, moxi gummy and krypto route 65 wheels.

You can not avoid wearing out parts with outdoor skating but I prefer not to wear out my body, so I would look for alternative wear that would cover more of the bottom and perhaps a knee pad that provides more coverage.

It's hard to wear more clothes sjating in the summer. Even with that on i still get so hot but yes, I deffo need to find something with more coverage lol. And pads, yes, these I grabbed at the last minute.

Thought I would share some pain pics with you. I don't like to skate with a lot of clothes, either. Guess this is the risk of that preference. It looks worst than it is. Happened yesterday and is looking much better today. However, it is still painful to do a Vulcan salute. Live long and prosper, ouch, ouch, ouch.
