When you skate you need to wear skate gear for protection. If you dont you could get in trouble from the police. The gear you usually need is a helmet. Somtimes you could wear knee pads or elbow pads. At skateparks people usually wear knee pads and elbow pads. You dont have to though. There are certain brands for skate gear hurly, element, birdhouse, flip, protec and much more. Personally I like element. There is not much talk about gear. So here is some gear.
This
is a really good brand of helmit. It is good because if you fall it has
soft pading and its thick so you wont crack your head open.
This
is a good brand of knee pads because they will not crack. These are the
same brand as the helmet. They are tuff and thick.
