Irene
Do these fit OK?
: Got the scabs! Thanks Irene, cause without the gaskets, the knee pads spin around on me. With them on, they dont move! :-D They connect on bottom right on top of my calve and it goes halfway down, good? So they fit OK? They are 5" wide, everything else is 6"!! Sorry my mirror is dirty but here are my tiny legs.
:
: The elbows are too big, spin around and I cant bend so its PD kiddies for those.

Kool....was skating w/Nadia on Sat and realized she is about your size. She's sporting Boneless knees (S) and Rector elbows (XS) ...if these are still available, I don't know.
Great about your $5 skates and that you're rollin' again! Stay healthy.

Hey, wuz wondering where you were! Tried to email a while ago but they bounced back... :-(

I think since the knee pads dont move, I'll keep them. I'm tired of trying and failing and trying and failing trying and failing, if something fits OK, I'm done! I HATE shopping. At least with my big trucks on I FEEL big lol! I forgot to order the recaps tho. Will black make my knees look smaller cause they make my legs look like sticks being so big lol.

Rector fatboy elbows? How much padding? Trying to order from PD. Just if I put wide trucks on my vert skates, then I probably wont fall on my elbows. Right now I have scabs on one lol. Not smith scabs, SCABS. :-D The pad moved and it was skin and concrete sliding. Derby practice lol! Except for the blood its fun lol.

 Looks cool, so 5" wide knees apart will help you for skating parallel with wide trucks ;-)
Have fun !!!!

On my street skates, the distance from wheel to wheel end is about 5 1/2"! I can handle them easily, even crossovers. I LOVE the stability on them. No way can I hurt my foot with those things on.

I cant wait to test them out at the park, then if the bladers tease me bout my skates, I can run them over lol.

Cant wait to put some bad boys on my vert skates!

 It is all about whether they stay on. I personally don't mind a bit of bulkiness, if they stay on a protect me. You get used to the lack of movement. As for the elbow pads, let me just tell you that I never fell on my elbow and before I broke my elbow was thinking how I never fall on my elbow. I broke my left elbow very badly with the Pro Designed pads. I guess we are going to get hurt no matter what, if we fall bad, but don't take your elbow pads for granted. I would also get some crashpads for your tailbone. When I broke my elbow, I slammed on the back of my head and tailbone. I was nausous from the hit to my head, but my ass was great. Getting a serous injury at this age is very serious. It cost me two weeks of work and a lot of money.

 I already got chunky drawers lol! Padding and a plastic plate. :-D Now I never hit it either?????? But if you knock on my ass, it sounds like a door lol.

So now with the big knees, big butt, big trucks soon, I feel I need sum football shoulder pads to balance myself out? Maybe a motorcycle helmet with a plastic shield too???? :-P .....then I will need a chest/rib pad for when someone beats me up for looking so dumb lol.

 Bubble wrap is pretty cheap. I think you should roll that shit all over your body and you will be good to go.
