Hey skaters

Has anyone used any UK based suppliers for Derby stuff? I've only ever used to Sin City Skates - but I want me some new knee pads before the bout.

Skate Attack?

I got mine from Skate Attack. You can try Kates Skates too -I think they are UK based.

I got our TSGs from Billys - http://www.billy.co.uk - possibly not the cheapest but a very fast service.

I got mine from ebay :S My toe guards from sakte asylum came pretty quickly

i used billys they are about the same as other places (i thought so) and the service was great

There is a guy called toddtwist on ebay who sells TSG Force 1's for £20 - check him out here:

A lot of our girls have bought from him, and he seems like a very reasonable guy. Sam's order for TSG Force 1's got mixed up so he sent her Force 3's for the same price - £20 (they normally cost £70!!!!!)

If he isn't displaying knee pads in your size, send him an email as he'll usually have them in stock.

Cheers

yeah i used kates skates for my skates but skatrix's one sounds awesome sand i may use him myself :D cheers trix x

We use both Force 1's and Force 3's in the team, and to be honest there isn't that much difference between them. The Force 3's have marginally more padding in them so would be a must for those with current/past knee injuries. However, if you were concerned about finances, you could buy the Force 1's for £20 and get a pair of TSG knee gaskets from toddtwist, also £20:

The postage price for the pads and gaskets is quoted as £7.00, but he's usually fairly good about combining costs for multiple orders.

Don't worry about buying the next size up of kneepads if you go for the gasket option: TSG's have such long straps that they should easily take a pair of gaskets under your normal size pads.
