Gear

Howdy all. Just getting back to moving I'm 5'4 280lbs and I want to get back to skating. I'm wondering about suggestions on gear? I have very wide calves tiny knee caps but xl knee area. Want to make sure I'm prepared and rear up properly thank you for any suggestions!

  • Hi Karabear. I see no one saw this thread, not sure if you're still around. I would recommend going to the roller rink and renting some skates. See if you like that type of skate (most of the time they have a high heal and are leather). Some rinks rent out skates that look more like a sneaker and have no heal.

    That will give you some idea of where to start. If you mean knee pads and elbow pads, I think I would look for a Roller Derby forum. Those guys know all about pads and they come in many different shapes and sizes. Good luck.
