Netnewbie Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Anybody go without thigh boards or pads? Good idea yes no, looking to shed some awkward protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopaloop1234 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 @SaveByRichter35 doesn't use any (Madman) @TheGoalNet finally started using some. Those are the two guys that come up immediately. I'm pretty sure the rest of us are sane and protect the ol' leg hinges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use thigh boards and liked them but my current set didn't come with any and I couldn't be bothered getting some. When I upgrade my gear in the not too distant future I will 100% be using knee protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creasecollector Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I personally don't wear any thigh boards. I did when I was younger (In my old Vaughn's / RBK pads) but eventually ditched them for knee pads (which also offer thigh protection as well. I prefer knee pads so my knee/leg can move freely from the pad, and the knee pads offer more of a 'formed' fit around my leg in a sense. My first set of knee pads were the old RBK Grey & Black pair. They were a tad bulky, but loved them. Needed to upgrade recently due to the knee cap protection cracking, so now I'm in some Koho 589 Revolution Pro Swiss Knee guards. Very bulky but awesome all around, especially in the thighs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki1416 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I used thigh boards when I first started only because I didn't have a basis on what I do/don't like. I've taken them off and use the Vaughn knee pads with the thigh protector built in. But when I first took them off, I wore nothing. That right there is a quick motivator to close the 5 hole faster! Was coming across in a b-fly slide and the one timer hit my trailing leg knee before I was closed up. Next day I went knee pad shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it takes is just one shot to get through to get you thinking knee pads. Wakes you up pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckus007 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 didn't like thighboards because they binded and interfered. Used thighwraps and took one off the inside of the knee. Never again. Warrior Rituals are pretty good for something soft to land on and will not interfere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
