Just for fun....what colour are you guards?

[luna_skater]

Got new guards as a gift this weekend, and I'd REALLY been needing them! They are pink with sparkles. :) Not usually my style, but I like them!

[sk8er1964]

1/2 of mine are dark purple (kind of eggplant) and the other 1/2 is a mother-of-pearly white.

[jazzpants]

You're not gonna believe this... Mine are GREEN!!! It was bought last minute for my last NYC trip. (It was the only one that was not the spring type they had at the store.)

[TreSk8sAZ]

I actually have 3 pairs of hard guards.

1) 1/2 Metallic Blue, 1/2 Metallic Purple

2) 1/2 Yellow, 1/2 Bright Orange

3) Shiny Bronze

[Sweet16*skater]

oh my oh my.... i have bought more skate guards in my life time than i have underwear....lol....i have had every colour under the rainbow
right now they are half pink, half blueish greenish

[JulieN]

My current ones are red -- those were the only ones available at my sharpener's shop. I left my favorite pearly sky blue ones last summer at the rink in Aspen.

[dbny]

Neon pink because they are easier to spot and harder to forget!

[icedancer2]

I have pretty pale pink. No one has the same guards and I can always pick them out.

That is -- IF I remember to find them. I think I have also bought more guards than most people... 8-)

[NickiT]

Mine are royal blue!

Mine are an alarming shade which is supposed to be red but verges on the fluorescent orange worn by hunters in the forest. My mom got them for me knowing red is my favorite color--the color is less horrifying on the Internet, where she ordered them. Unfortunately I am too careful of my things and can't manage to lose or break them so I can justify buying a different pair. 8O

[Isk8NYC]

A very nice purple, almost metallic.


The twins have mix-and-match green and blue because they couldn't decide who should get blue and who should get green. :D

[jenlyon60]

My current pair is neon pink... came out of the lost & found after someone walked off with my previous pair which were Turquoise. that also came out of the L&F, after my previous pair (to the turquoise) of neon pink guards were nicked.

[Sk8pdx]

My guards are 1/2 white and 1/2 turquise. My soakers are pink with white poka dots.

[froggy]

pastel purple :o)

[Imo]

half navy blue, half yellow

[Joan]

Bright yellow

[Justine_R]

Bright Yellow and Green!

[Mel On Ice]

hot pink and white, a pair plucked from a lost and found bin after someone stole my dark blue/silver blue pair while I was out on the ice. They're getting rather cruddy and it's near time to replace them.

[sunshinepointe]

Like the original poster, I too have pink with sparkles :)

My old ones were frosted grape

[figure_skater]

light blue:)

[diagetus]

Straight white guards. They look nice with the black boots. Never really use them though and they'll probably look dirty sooner than other shades. Anyone have a method for cleaning guards short of using sandpaper?

[mdvask8r]

. . . Anyone have a method for cleaning guards short of using sandpaper?
Put them in the dishwasher.

[Thin-Ice]

Black & Blue... 1) because they were the colors of our synchro team.. but 2) now they remind me that's what color my hips/elbows/other various body parts will be if I don't remember to take off the guards before getting on the ice. (So far.. so good... :) hope that holds! ;) )

One of the guys on our team was given fluorescent/neon/hot pink after he managed to get on the ice three weeks in a row with his guards on (he said it was because he was running late and just didn't check) -- but the team member who gave them to him said he would never be able to use that excuse again.. since he and EVERYONE else on the team could see those pink guards long before he was close to the ice!

[sceptique]

Purple, like this

[iskatealot]

A kind of not dark/not light blue...BLUE!

[MusicSkateFan]

Boring Black. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :roll:

Time for some new ones...my springs are rusty!

[Melzorina]

I have wanted those guards for so long!

My guards are plain orange, my best friend bought them for me after mine broke and he had to give me a piggy back to the rink because I already had my skates on!

[jazzpants]

Boring Black. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :roll:

Time for some new ones...my springs are rusty!NOT boring black, MSF! KEWL Black!!! 8-) I had black ones before the green! ;)

(Rust, OTOH... NOT KEWL!!! :twisted: )

[flying~camel]

Purple and teal - I've had them since I was 15 years old ;)

[mmscfdcsu]

Black, with my name in gold letters :)

[AshBugg44]

Mine are sparkly blue, but I want new ones!

[Mrs Redboots]

Turquoise.

And I've no idea what colour Husband's are, or even if he owns a pair at the moment - he has a history of leaving them at every single competition we go to, so he has to buy another pair.

[Summerkid710]

Two pairs...
1. Metallic blue and clear
2. Sparkle fuschia and green gel

[Casey]

On my third pair of black guards. One of the originals went missing on my first pair, second pair were one-piece things that wore out in a few weeks.

My first and current pair were the 2-piece ones with springs in the middle, although mine are actually 3-piece due to the length of the blades, made by combining pieces from two pairs. :)

Whenever I do end up replacing these, I'll probably combine white and black pieces.

[russiet]

The hard guards are a mix of green & black (two piece with spring in middle). It makes them easier to identify at a glance.

My soakers are fire engine red. They look good on my black suede boots.

[blisspix]

Bright pink guarddogs. Couldn't decide on a half colour so they're pink all the way.

I've previously had pink, half pink half purple, and all purple

soakers are baby blue

[PattyP]

Mine are an ugly light green. Same situation as Jazzpants, lost a pair and had to buy another in a hurry for competition. :P

[cutiesk8r43]

PURPLEEEEEEEEE :D :D
