I had always wanted to learn to skate but did not have the patience or discipline when I was younger. Now I'm 30 and decided I was done wishing I knew how to skate and put the effort into learning a new skill. The pads are great, my wrists are already beat up from snowboarding and the wrist guards have already saved me, just used the size chart and everything fit perfectly. The videos have helped alot (I recommend using the app too the Boot Camp has more in depth and broken down steps) the skate trainers have been very helpful and the board is awesome, such an good board and it doesn't break the bank. Been one week and I have an ollie and a shovit down! THANK YOU!
