You got to take care of your parts,you can't buy new ones.
I'm wondering if anyone has worn safety equipment when first working on a particularly difficult trick. I know shin guards and gloves are both pretty common, I used them myself when I was first learning flatland in the mid 90s. I'm more curious about wearing things like a helmet, elbow/knee pads and a cup.Reason I ask is because I'd like to starting to work on pedaling deathtrucks but I'm worried about injuries in the beginning before I know how to safely bail. I'm gonna learn to roll it one footed from the pedal first (after I get more comfortable with doing it on the peg) by probably kicking off from a curb/chair or whatever, then perfect the ride in, and finally work my way up to pedaling it. For what it's worth I can already ride a unicycle but that is a bit different as it's a fixed gear so I don't know how helpful that'll be.
