    This is something that could be improved upon in drytops. Wavesport makes one that includes some cushion in the shoulder area. I've heard of a few pro-boaters that will occasionally wear some type of moto-padding for some burly slides. Otherwise, you just have to take the hits.

    I took a good pummeling a few days ago and wish I had something there.

    I'd recommend sixsixone 2x4's for elbow pads. They have a hard plastic shell and stay on when you need them to. You can find them online at moto sites. I've also heard Fox makes a good one.

    I like the fox ones with the rigid forearm protection, too. A full face helmet might be something to consider, too (I wear one creeking).

    Agreed here too. You can fab one or look at the FNA. It's super bomber.

    Yup,

    I bought one of FNAs full face helmets for creeking a few years ago and liked it so much I just use it all the time now.

    I don't use mine on play runs because it is too hard to work the pipe and lighter.

    Yeah but you'll look like a fucking moron. Or at least a stormtrooper.

    It was a free warranty shell and I have to pad it out but after fondling it, I have a feeling the FNA will win hands downs.

    Plus, I don't need a helmet to look dumb
