people who wear pads and helmets, what are your idiosyncrasies when it comes to the circumstances in which you will wear them?
for me i pretty much have my knee pads on at all times when skating a ramp. i need my knees to be healthy for work and i've gotten into the habit of kneesliding, even on mini ramps sometimes, so i pretty much can't go without them at this point. the helmet comes out when i'm skating big tranny. i don't wear elbow or wrist pads (yet).
don't skate too much street but when i do hit curbs and stuff i don't wear any.
