I get a lot of #@%$#! for using knee pads, but I love 'em and I'm never going to stop using them while on land. That being said, I DO go through a
lot of them because the caps crack.
While at JIBE, I cracked my MBS pads, so I figured I'd try some Bondo to see if it it'd fix the cracks. It did, but then my first solid knee drop
cracked the Bondo. A better solution? Top of the line skate pads from 187, Smith, etc...
3 of these brands have replaceable caps.soliver - 16-5-2014 at 09:09 PM
HAHAHA... Thought of you yesterday as I walked into DicS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s Sporting Goods... With nothing better to do in the pouring rain, wifey &
I loaded up all the munchkins to go look for some new running shoes for her. REALLY close to both JI and SSI.
I remembered you had cracked one but didn't have your # to call & tell you where to go....
Bondo? Really?Kamikuza - 16-5-2014 at 10:05 PM
Anyone who gives you crap about knee or elbow pads has obviously never hit their knees or elbows... eejits!erratic winds - 16-5-2014 at 10:47 PM

knee pads and a helmet are essential for landboarding I always have and always will wear themCheddarhead - 17-5-2014 at 02:41 PM

I was wondering why you were sanding your knee pads that morning!Demoknight - 19-5-2014 at 06:06 AM
I never gave you crap about wearing knee pads, I gave you crap about scudding along the ground with them... I can just hear my blowing out at the
thought of trying that myself, and I still have young knees. Protecting the knees is awesome! I just wouldn't use knee pads as an excuse to take a
ride on my knees on purpose Proletariat - 19-5-2014 at 02:54 PM
Naw, wasn't talking about you giving me crap at all, Demo. What I was talking about was the prevailing sentiment that, "if you're doing it right,
when you fall, you're leaning back so you just fall on your butt."
I just happen to disagree with that sentiment, and I hate falling on my butt... I'd rather slide on my super thick, incredibly-resilient knee pads as
countless ramp skaters have done since the dawn of skating. I just bought the wrong ones (MBS... skip them and buy ones with replaceable caps
instead... oh, and don't use bondo... did I mention that?)Proletariat - 19-5-2014 at 07:50 PM
Check this out... Wow

good one ...no hassle on the pads man, wear them save some skin!
i certainly wear them more with the tow for sure.
and the biggest step hill billy pants ! its a setup commitment but worth it esp. if starting out and throwing riskier stuffFrontRangeJeff - 20-5-2014 at 01:01 PM
Dave - Bondo??? Hilarious :D
I watched your Jibe video....next year I am in for sure! Looks like it was wicked good.
I too love and recommend the Hill Billys....although mine smell like death....always forgetting to wash them and they are funk magnet....probably TMI.
