Sliding Equipment

[PMR-B4LL3R]

I know sliding can be a big part of sup air/tournament balling, and i once saw some kind of slider clothing. Cant remember what it was called though. It went higher than the guys waste so that he could slide comfortably without burns and such.

Can anyone show me or tell me what there called please?

Uneccesary so shut the hell up


Thanks to the guys that had something worth posting, now these slide shorts can they be worn underneath tournament playing trousers?

playing pants should give enough padding anyway, really just dive and dont waste money what you can be buying paint with

and how have you managed before, says previously you were in a team, did you wear any then

No, havent slid to much myself, but being a front man i want to get up quickly with less risk of getting hit. Thanks for the info though

how will slide shorts help you getting up quickly and not getting hit?

tbh they are a waste of money dont buy them, just wear some trousers underneath if you dont wanna get cuts or anything

After getting some of those new Dye 07 Slide Shorts (linked further up the page) I wouldn't want to go back, they are suburb. They give your hips lots of support, the padding really makes a difference when diving around and helps take any pain out of shots as well. It also has some nice padding for the old crown jewels as we all know how painful it can be to take a hit there.

Knee pads are a must really, unless you have some really padded playing pants. Protect your knee's and often your leg from some quite nasty injuries and help give the whole area support.

Arm pads are good for every player on the field, not just the ones with there faces in the mud at the front. Not only do they help protect your elbows from injury when diving around, but also promote lots of bounces from a very large area of your arm.

In terms of priority, personally I would get knee pads first, followed by arm pads and finally slide shorts. Of course this is all dependant on your budget

Hope this helps.
