Required Gear
The below list of gear is required for new skaters. Penny-pinching is not wise when it comes to buying good protection. If you are going to buy used equipment, check it out carefully. Try the equipment on and make sure it all fits properly. Injuries occur when loose-fitting equipment slides out of the way. Keep your gear well organized and stored in a well ventilated, dry area. Check your equipment frequently for early signs of wear and tear. "Take care of your equipment and it will take care of you!"
* Quad Speed Skates
Indoor Wheels - Most packages can be upgraded to have better wheels. The following are examples of popular wheels used within our league: Fugitives, Flat-Outs, Tuners, Mojos, Zodiacs.
* Skateboard Helmet
* Knee Pads
Quality kneepads are crucial for this sport. Buying good ones now will help prevent possible knee injuries down the line. If you cannot afford to buy quality gear you also won't be able to afford the doctor bills when you get injured. The following are popular brands/models
- 187 Pro Knees Kneepads
- TSG FORCE III Knee Pads
* Elbow Pads
* Wrist Guards
* Mouth Guard |
Where To Buy Gear
Any sporting goods store should have some of the needed gear, however kneepads and skates are more difficult to find. We strongly recommend getting fitted for skates versus buying blindly online! The following are where we get most of our gear:
