Why You Need Skateboard Elbow and Knee Pads

Skateboarding is a great way to get exercise and have some fun. It’s also a lot of fun to do tricks on your skateboard. However, there are some risks that you must be aware of when you’re skateboarding, such as injuries from falls and collisions with other people or obstacles.

Skateboarders are at risk of injury when they don’t wear protective gear. Skateboarding injuries can range from scrapes and cuts to serious fractures and ligament tears.

Skateboarders should wear elbow pads, knee pads, wrist guards, and a helmet to protect themselves when skateboarding. They should also wear protective booties to avoid getting scraped up in the event of a fall.

The following are some examples of when you might need skateboard protective gear:

1) You want to be able to enjoy your skateboarding without worrying about injuries

2) You want protection against scrapes and cuts

3) You want protection against serious fractures and ligament tears

HOW TO MEASURE PAD SIZE

Arm length is not the only factor that determines PAD size. Other factors such as arm circumference and arm thickness also come into play.

* Arm Length: This is the distance from one of your shoulders to the middle of your hand (or where your fingers touch).

* Arm Circumference: Measure around the fullest part of your arm, about halfway between your elbow and shoulder. * Arm Thickness: Measure around the narrowest part of your arm, about halfway between your elbow and shoulder.

Different Types of Pads for Different Sport/Activities

Pads are an important part of any sport or activity, and there are different types of pads for different sports. For example, in inline skating, knee pads are necessary to protect the knees from getting scraped up when you fall down or hit the ground. Elbow pads are also needed to protect your elbows from getting hurt when you fall on them. There are also other types of pads for other sports, such as football and soccer.

The material that is used to make these pads varies depending on the sport. For example, in football and soccer, they use more durable materials like leather because they will be running around a lot and need protection from hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt. In inline skating, they use lighter materials like neoprene because it’s easier for them to move around in.
