TSG Basic Starter Pack

Product description

Roller Skates

Riedell R3
Classic starter skate. These are the narrower skate of all options. The slim boot is completely vegan and has a soft open toebox. The ankle strap keeps you in place while the inner padding makes the R3 a comfortable skate to start with. Skate tool included.

Chaya Ruby
Our newest addition to the starter packs is an agile setup (due to its 20° plate) and immediately one of our favourite options. The Ruby has a medium to wider width shoe with a curved toe, protected by a harder toe box. This gives you an ergonomic fit, a little bit of wiggling room at the toes and extra protection in that area. The Ruby has a round standard toe stop (best of the skate options in the starter packs) and allround indoor medium soft/hard wheels.

Helmet

TSG Helmet skate/bmx → This is our most popular, best fitting and most size-accurate helmet 
This classic helmet from TSG is also very popular. Together with the other helmet options, this has been a standard reliable option to protect your head. 

Knee pads, elbow pads and wrist guards

TSG Basic set
This set holds knee pads, elbow pads and wrist guards of a basic protection. These will save you from scrapes and grazes, but can't stand a lot of impact (in roller derby) as the padding is rather minimal. It is, however, perfect for beginner skaters who don't aspire heavy contact right now. 

Mouthguard

Shockdoctor Pro Mouthguard
Basic protective mouthguard. Nothing fancy, just protection.

SISU Next Gen Aero Mouthguard
This mouthguard is the most practical option and the most used amongst roller derby skaters. Instead of being bulcky, which would just make you gag and drool, this SISU mouthguard uses efficient technology to keep you safe. Why is it so loved? Because it is of a practical size, you can form fit it for YOU and your teeth and you can talk, breathe and drink with it. Whilst this might not be your concern right now, you'll be happy about this choice in the long run. Don't just take our word for it, ask your team mates.

Have you considered this?

• Protecting your skates with a set of toe caps or toe guards. When falling and skating, the toe area of your skates will get damaged. Put a second layer of protection around them to keep them new.
• Changing your wheels or bearings requires a tool. You might need it when you put your outdoor wheels on, for example.
• Organizing your skate bag? Before you know it, it becomes a mess. Putting your extra wheels and other small items in a wheel bag will make your life easier when digging into your skate bag to find something.
• Just throwing your skates over your shoulder. You can do it without wearing your laces out, by just hooking them into this skate leash. Easiest way to carry your skates.

-- Consider sizing! No elbow pad is the same, nor are skates, wrist guards, helmets or knee pads. You can click on the products above to find more information about that item, or you can check our sizing information page.

 ** We find the Chaya Ruby skates to size somewhat small. You might want to go up one size. If you are a 38, please consider getting yourself a size 39.
