What gloves do you use?

    I've had my board for about a week now and I already managed to take my first big spill on it. I currently have no skin on my palms and a lovely cast around my newly broken wrist, this brings up the question, what gloves should i use? I tried just a regular pair of cycling gloves and threw myself off the board by accidentally braking due to how thick the gloves are and decided not to use them (granted those gloves wouldn't have kept my wrist from being broken, but i'd still have my skin). Is there anything out there thin enough with wrist guards? I'd love any help with this!
    Thanks!

    I use sliding gloves, it is a little harder to work the control but if you fall your gloves and knee pads get the worst out of it.
     
  3. I had already a pair of good gloves, the Loaded Advanced Freeride, but with the sensitive trigger of the remote I was only using one of them and riding with my bare right hand to control the trigger. Since it's colder now I was wearing two pair of gloves but safety wise the right hand glove was not as strong.
    So, just cut out a little piece of the glove on the trigger finger, but leaving the liner inside in place. IMG_20161201_202421-COLLAGE (1).jpg
