Hi,

I wanted to start riding rails/boxes. Do you guys use special protection for your legs and co. when riding rails? Usually I'm wearing a back protection and a helmet and i really start thinking of buying something like:

ICETOOLS Armor Pant black

Maybe for the knees something? I really don't know. I don't care about pain I just care about some serious stuff. It's part of the sport but if possible, i try to train save. :)

Thanks

I actually have a little wirst guard. Built into my gloves. Still got that kind of beginner gloves, never bought anything new. Althought I'm no beginner anymore.

Thanks for the replies. I'll check what equipment i get. Any good buying guides or tips? Dont want to buy crap.

i wear a hemlet if im making hot laps...but thats it, i dont like anything else. My first few years i slammed my tailbone pretty hard, but after that i dont ever get hurt there any more. the more protection you have on the more constricted you will be also.

I love my impact shorts. They are very comfortable actually and add an extra layer on cold days... when its hard pack I wear my level gloves with wrist guards just in case, they help to use while slowing down a slide on an icey face too.... I always have my helmet on too

I have 2 pairs of impact shorts
  • With out hip & thigh pads
  • with hip & thigh pads
Yep you guessed it I ate a rail wearing the one without the hip pads that day. Still sore 3 weeks later. I'm all about the safety gear

Would you go with soft pads or rather hard ones?

Shin protectors, i also thought about it. But also, I don't want to look/feel like a soldier :p

Thanks for the answers, I'm going to buy some kind of pants. My as will love me probably. ;) But shin protectors, kneeprotectors, I don't know.

I don't really care about the coolness of not having protection. I just think it might be a bit overkill? Uncomfortable? Maybe distrub me. I'm going to buy a pant today and a new helmet. I'll also take a look at the other stuff. Actually i could just try them all, doesn't seem to be very expensive. Thanks for the help. =) Hope my english wasn't/isn't too bad.

Knee and shin guards are the best available protective gears for the protection of knee. I will recommend you to go with some of the superior quality knee and shin guard available in the market......You can easily choose knee guards such as POC Bone VPD Knee/Shin Guards, Demon Deluxe Knee and Shin Guards and SixSixOne Pro Knee/Shin Guard........
