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  :daumenhoch:, 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  :LolLolLolLol:. 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  :idiot2:, good luck riding mate  :daumenhoch:

I have these elbows

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_392611_langId_-1_categoryId_228856

and these knees [but obviously adult ones]

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_394719_langId_-1_categoryId_228856

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

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