The Original 187 Wrist Guard vs. The 187 Derby Wrist Guard
Posted by Danielle Peddigrew on
I’m going to chat a little bit about the two types of 187 wrist guards. 187 Killer Pads came out with a slightly different version of their classic wrist guard, made specifically for roller derby! After trying both versions I felt like it was time to share my personal thoughts as well as what the manufacturer has to say.
Will I be able to roller skate? Is this something I can do?

I often get messages from people wondering if they’re too old to learn how to skate.. I don’t necessarily think age has any bearing on whether someone should or shouldn’t learn to skate. You should always consult a medical professional before trying any new physical activity and rollerskating is no different. However, once your cleared to skate, I believe you can do whatever you put your mind to.
