What other type of gear will I need?
Last Updated: 08/23/2011
Protective gear is an absolute must when skating. Wearing protective gear will eliminate most injuries and improve the overall safety and enjoyment of your roller skating experience.
A complete set of protective gear consists of four primary pieces. They are knee pads, elbow pads, a helmet, and wrist guards. The first and most important piece of equipment is a helmet. We recommend that you invest in an inline skating helmet or aggressive skate helmet because they’re designed to come down lower, towards the base of the skull, to provide maximum protection in case you fall backward.
