"Knee Slide: learning to slide on your knees is fundamental!
In skateboarding, falling is part of the learning process. That's why it's important to protect yourself and know how to fall, so that you can fall without injury, until you get the hang of it.
The best way to fall is to slide on your knee pads.
For this, we've chosen a material with a very low coefficient of friction, POM, to ensure a very good glide on the knees.
This is the main difference between skate and roller skating knee pads.
What size to choose for a child? For knees, you need to measure at the level of the kneecap.
2XS: corresponds to a knee circumference between 26 and 32 cm (7/10 years)
XS: corresponds to a knee circumference between 30 and 36 cm (9/13 years)
What's the difference between skateboard protectors and roller protectors?
In skateboarding, falls are much more frequent than in rollerblading, especially when learning tricks.
It's therefore important to protect yourself properly.
Skateboarding protection, especially knee pads, are designed to stay in place during falls (support), absorb repetitive impacts, and above all, the shells are designed to glide over the knees. The flat shape of the shells and the selected material ensure optimum sliding on the knees (knee slide).
