Knee Slides:Learn to slide on your knees is essential!
In skateboarding, falling is part of the learning process. So, it's important to protect yourself and know how to fall without getting hurt, until you nail that trick.
The best way to fall is to slide on your knee pads.
This is why we chose POM - a material with a very low friction coefficient - to ensure smooth knee sliding.
This is what really differentiates skateboarding knee pads from roller skating.
What size should you choose for your child? for the knees, the measurements should be taken at the kneecap.

What is the difference between skateboarding and roller skating protectors?
In skateboarding, falls are much more frequent than when roller skating, especially when learning tricks.
So, protecting yourself is important.
These skateboarding protectors, especially knee pads, are designed to stay in place when falling (support) and absorb repeated impacts, while the shells are designed to slide on the knees. Flat shell shape and material chosen for optimal knee sliding.
