Yeah, muscle memory after you start skating without pads means you usually end up kneesliding on auto pilot, which ain’t good.

I would learn to fall properly - I did it with Ju Jitsu and since then all my wrist injuries magically went away as I knew how to fall.

See videos on how to learn here: [Would knee pads with shin pads attached be too much? - #7 by Mark](https://ukskateforum.co.uk/t/would-knee-pads-with-shin-pads-attached-be-too-much/619/7)
