Protect the Cheeks! I never used to wear crash shorts/butt pads, but then I got a horrible hematoma on my hip that swelled up the side of a whoopie cushion on my side! After it finally subsided, I barely dinked it in a fall, and the whoopie cushion blew right back up! Now I proudly sport pads everytime I skate, and I’d you want an extra layer of protection on your bum too, check out these different crash shorts to see if one is right for you! In NO particular order: 1. Tortoise Pads: -Customizable pad thickness -Made from former foam -More discreet -$70-$100 - @tortoisepads 2. Triple 8 RD Bum Saver -Made for roller derby skaters so it’s made for impact -Can be use at the skatepark too -Moderate amount of padding -Material is a little less durable -$50-$80 - @triple8quad 3. Roller Couture: -Lots of tailbone padding -Highly padded with soft foam -More bulky/noticeable - Originally ice skating pads but brand expanded to rollerskaters too -$90-$100 - @frozencouture 4. TSG Crash Pant -Light and breathable material -Made of soft foam -Slim/discreet yet protective -$80-$100 - @ridetsgquadskate Do you have other recommendations?
