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 :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

and these knees [but obviously adult ones]

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.
