Practice with the gear on, and then if you really want to get hurt, take it off when you're not around your mom. Of course, make sure you have a cell phone or a buddy in case you wreck you need to go to the hospital or call 911.

okies here is how it goes, i have been skateboarding for 10 years, and at all the skateparks i have to wear gear, and you are right u do look like a dork, but to not look like 1 you should wear baggy pants over your knee pads, with your elbow pads u could wear long sleeve shirt over your elbow pads or get a cool color pads, now for the helmate, my best option for you is to get a white one and put lots of cool stickers on it like adio stickers, osiris stickers blobe stickers, stuff like that, so thats how u look cool while wearing safety gear

Wear long sleeves and jeans to cover up knee pads and elbow pads.And for a helmet just decorate it or practice enough to where your parrents dont mind you not wearing it.

Don't wear the safety gear, and actually I find it really annoying, and harder to do anything.
Skate when your mom's not around. And don't get hurt, she won't know.

if you think you look like a dork and so do your friends, then that means that you dont think that you r confident enough. and if your friends think your a dork than that means that they really arent your friends. another tip is wear your pads under your clothes, wear cooler clothes, waer your pads under your clothes, and tell your friends that you dont care if you wear pads, meaning you dont want 2 get hurt and go 2 the hosipital.

well you usually only see pros wearing sh* t like that while on the fag*ot vert ramp(no offense) .take a look at some skate vids and you will see them wearing a helmet in a skate park but on on a switch 360 flip over a 6 flat 7 somewhere in barcelona!
