Protective pads help

[skki3330]

Guys looking to get out on my first ramp ride since the 80's so need some elbow & knee pads, i have been looking at 661 stuff but the sizes seem sooo bloody small!!! so has anyone got some idea's on what i should buy? try and keep the prices down please.

i got 661 rhythm elbow /forearm pads today .£32.50 from alans .
would have got same for knee /shin but they didnt have my size in . they are very comfy, stay put where you need them to be  , haven't tested them yet , no plans to either.
first time in a skatepark for over 20 years , i was the  only one there with helmet on and gloves  . my helmet is tsg evolution , gloves are bicycle union love/hate , none of them are cheap , but i cant afford to be off work injured from falling off a kids bike  , good luck riding mate

I have these elbows

Can't fault either, saved me many many times, integrated shin protectors are great to save you from pedal slippage

And dont underestimate a good set of gloves too, 661 also do nice ones of those

I've tried loads on and nowt fits 

Nearest I've got to fit were the XL troy lee Lopes....but just felt too bulky

Speak to Dave in the Radshop - we sorted me out for pads @ Corby and I felt loads braver fully padded up.
