Are there any good deals or sales out there on knee pads?
I’m also looking for gloves and elbow pads.
A set would be good.

got the gloves, just what I was looking for.
Gonna have to keep my eyes out for TSG pads on sale. They do seem very nice.
Turn the puck side way.

I got this jacket for Christmas and I freaking love it. Pads are thick hard foam and not plastic which some dislike but I don’t mind it. Tons of adjustments for a proper fit. Lots of useful pockets. Pads are removable. Mesh air vents seem useful while not compromising safety.

I wear a motorcycle helmet. It’s less expensive than most downhill helmets while protecting from a wider variety of collisions. Mine also has a neat-o flip down visor, chin-gaurd and shades. I look like lord Helmet, Rick Moranis’s character from the 1987 classic, Spaceballs, when I ride, but I give zero fucks.

Got one or these for Christmas for science. Looks cool but is cheaper than most helmets we use and doesn’t carry the same certifications.
The visor feels pretty flimsy. How do the tsg visors feel out of curiosity? Trying to find something I’d compare it to… Maybe the thick plastic at the neck of a coke bottle?
Overall the helmet doesn’t seem solid to me. Comes up uncomfortably high on the back of my head and I’m not in love with it. It will be ok as a loaner helmet I suppose😕

Maybe try the Scorpion Exo AT-950…
It’s got nice air flow while riding and it’s super sick the way it opens up. You can take the visor off (like I did)
The whole front chin guard pops up for when you stop and are talking to someone… The mechanism does not seem very flimsy and the chin bar feels as strong as the one on my dirt bike helmet.

That one looks sweet. I don’t really need a helmet, just liked the idea of having a visored one for cold weather.

Yup! Visors are very nice at speed also…
Also I highly recommend people wear either slide gloves or motorcycle gloves or other higher speed protective gloves when riding because if you skid your palms/hand it hurts like hell and takes forever to heal 
On another note sadly none of my new gear has gotten any real use since my TB 4amp Charger Broke (new one already ordered) So I’ve just been rockin a half shell on the boosted (slooooow Board).
Man did you see my bad crash photos? I woke up stuck to my sheets every morning for 3 weeks.
I’m glad I got these impact shorts for Christmas. It’s the last part of my body that was unprotected.

TSG visors are pretty thick and stiff. Scratch up real easy but I have no fear of it bending in on me or braking.

Are you not supposed to wake up stuck to your sheets? Interesting. 
Those shorts look cool, but they’re making me question everything I’ve been doing my whole life. Are we really electric ice skaters?
