Its harder to land some tricks on them (like handplant) .. unless you have PILOTS .. which I can NEVER find:
I want to land grinds on these.
Otherwise I love these:

Yeah, that's one reason I often don't wear my wrist guards even when I wear my knee and elbow pads under my clothes. . . because with your hand locked back, it feels like if you did put your hand back to stop yourself, since your wrist can't move, you would just break all your fingers, which I'm not sure is an improvement LOL.
I've seen gel sliders, but at the mo I just wear weightlifting gloves: the palm is designed to take a fair bit of punishment and it does stop my wrist from bending but I don't usually fall that hard, i just need the leather to stop the skin being scraped off as I usually skate on the street. |

If you have hardwood floors throughout your house (and they're not in pristine shape and/ or there are no rules about heeling in the house) wear them all the time and roll as much as possible. I can't get outside to do extensive heeling that often because I'm always physically carrying a baby so I wear mine in the house all day and heel here and there while doing my daily chores, etc. I can't do much except heel forwards, 360, switch, but it came pretty quickly for me (I'd say about a week to heel forwards.) Once the youngest is old enough to actually WALK on our walks, THEN I'll be able to do more outdoors.  |
