JT eMotion and Sliding

[paddeo]

These are the JT shin and knee guards with the floating\moveable
knee guard, yes?

Does the hard plastic of these guards make it easier to a slide?

I have some Trace shin guards which are a cloth material and they
really do not slide well at all.

Thanks

I would have think that it would depend on the surface you are sliding on....

But plastic would tend to have less friction than cloth, so in theory I would think you could slide better...

if you get them let us know how they slide??

They're pretty slidey - I can make it from one side of the dining toom to the other without too much effort

Ony problem I've had with them is that they move about a bit so you have to adjust them after most games.

so you've been sliding, across your house then??? couldn't wait to play in them then, had to use them staright away????

How did they slide at the walkon???

For the 6th - The idea was for us all to leave stockport at 06:00 hrs....

 

[Mike (Exodus)]

Can't use them outside - They might get dirty )

6 is okey dokey

Mate i've tried the Jt emotions and altoughth they're a good idea they are really uncomfortable to wear. I suggest sticking with the tracers and getting some rase skid knees or other type of trouser with skid knee's cause i can skid for 10 metres over rough surface with them.

Also another question...
why do people wear knee pads on the outside of their trousers?

not only does this make them look silly but also doesn't really prolong the life of their pads does it?

Can anyone tell me why?

Well mine are very comfy, and on grass these puppies go on for ever.

Once I slid up to my bunker, and then slid straight past it and out the other side. Doesn't look quite so cool then!

I love mine and wouldn't go back to my trace pads.

AFAIR, People wear them outside their trousers, because at some tournaments the rules state that padding cannot be worn under clothes.....

And what do you think is prolonging the life of their trousers.

Personally i wear my pads on the oustside to stop my JT cargos from getting shredded.

I assume you wear yours on the inside which would answer why you find the JT eMotions so uncomfortable.
