I am finally going to spend the money to buy some padding, so I can just DO the jumps already and stop worrying about hurting myself.
I wish I could get the skating safe pads- because they are so highly recommended, but they are just too expensive for me.
I decided rather than individual pads, I would get a pair of compression shorts- with hip and tailbone pads. There are also compression capris available that have knee pads.
Here's my question- it's only slightly more expensive to get the knee pads- would you get them? I have fallen on my knees, and it's painful, but nothing like the tailbone is! My biggest worry is how short I am and that capris with kneepads will turn into pants with mid-calf pads.
Thanks for any input/advice!
These are the ones I'm looking at if anyone has any reviews/comments:
