Skateboard Wrist Guard
Protect Yourself From the Most Common Skateboarding Injury
A skateboard wrist guard is designed help to
protect the hands, wrists and forearms during a fall.
Wrist injuries are some ofthe most common injuries seen in
skateboarders.
The best way to avoid them is to learn to fall properly.
Roll into a fall rather than extending your arms to catch
yourself.
Wrist guards are usually made of neoprene and have a rigid
plastic insert, or puck. This helps to absorb impact during a
fall and also helps to slide across the ground. Imagine sliding
on a rough surface without the guards and you'll see why
they're worth the investment. Losing skin is not pleasant.
As with all skateboarding safety gear, a wrist guard should
fit well. It should offer firm support without overly impeding
your movement.
