These are for those of you that are a little strapped for cash, and they probably won't take impacts as well as say the TSG's but overall will keep your knees and from getting ground up, these were the first pads I had and I've absolutely thrashed them! I can't even begin to tell you how many times my knees would've been non-existent without these. If you're undecided on getting a set of skateboard pads just get these, they're great pads especially for the price, protection be protection.

Industrial skateboard pads
These are for those of you that are a little strapped for cash, and they probably won't take impacts as well as say the TSG's but overall will keep your knees and from getting ground up, these were the first pads I had and I've absolutely thrashed them! I can't even begin to tell you how many times my knees would've been non-existent without these. If you're undecided on getting a set of skateboard pads just get these, they're great pads especially for the price, protection be protection.
Armor 7500 pad series
Well the name alone should be reason enough to pick a set up, I actually own a pair myself, and they're super comfy, very form fitting, and have saved my tobuscus (knees at least) more than a handful of times. Also, these pads come off faster than they go on if you know what I mean. ;) Chicks dig velcro it's just a proven fact. But in all reality that one fall can set you inside ALL day, why not just throw on some of these pads and fall all day without caring?
You'll get better infinitely faster and without the fear of falling. They look pretty honkin' sexy to be honest. Like a knight in shining, scraped up, armor. Wear your extra skins with pride and shred whatever, whenever with your new found confidence that these pads are sure to deliver
Keep your Brain in a bucket
Yeah you heard me. It's definitely not the "Hottest" thing to be wearing a skateboard helmet but a real woman will see that you're a sensible rider and will fall madly in love with you simply because she'll be thinking "Oh, he knows what he's doing". Let me tell you a girl (or boy) loves a whatever you are if you know what you're doing. Not only that, if you bust out a fat standy and high side in front of her/him you can at least walk away with a non-broken skull and maybe a shred of dignity. Or you can even say you were just testing your helmet out. Whatever your excuse, there's no excuse for NOT wearing one. Keep your skull covered, and keep shredding and no matter the situation, ALWAYS wear protection.
TSG combo pad pack
These pads are not only going to save you some major skin, but just think of being born with kneecaps and elbow made of a high rebound Polyethylene but they're removable, cool right? Well these skateboard pads do more than just save some skin on your knees and elbows, they're going to protect you from impacts too with the EVA foam cups on the insides, and trust me it's better to get up and walk away looking kind of dorky then with a shattered knee cap, and a scraped elbow. Also, being able to fall without the fear of getting hurt too badly will make you become a better skater in the long run just because of your massive confidence boost. Shred hard, but shred safely.
Safety first
There are so man y people out today that aren't riding pads and given, it's not "cool" but man let me tell you, it's way cooler than a missing knee cap or something broken. Not only do pads keep you from getting road rash and minor scrapes but they also displace weight when you fall making it so there's less pressure on 1 area meaning you're much less likely to break that bone as well. Not to mention you're most likely to break a bone at a joint where the pad protects you.
Also, yeah they look stupid, and the helmet hair afterwards can also be highly unattractive, but a broken noggin won't get you anywhere and having to slurp your meals from a straw can't be much fun either. I know I'm really bad about wearing my helmet, but when it comes to big technical runs, I wouldn't step foot on a hill without, and it's saved my rear more times then I can count. Even just riding your board down the street wearing a helmet could very well save your life. People don't always pay attention and one day you might get smacked by a car or hit that one stupid rock that tosses you and your helmet may be the only thing that keeps you from never riding again.
