Your Skatepark Starter Pack
Helmet
A good helmet is the most important piece of gear – and at TSG, we design our own helmet shapes for a perfect fit, not cheap one-size-fits-all models. We offer lightweight in-mold helmets like the Nipper Maxi, Nipper Mini, and Meta, as well as robust hardshell helmets like the Evolution and Evolution Youth for maximum durability.
When it comes to protection, our pad sets are perfect for keeping knees, elbows, and wrists safe in one go. For even more flexibility, our All Ground Pads are a great choice: they open at the back, making them quick and easy to put on and take off. TSG pads are not made for the toy store – they’re high-quality gear for kids who ride hard and plan to come back for more.
Don’t forget the basics: staying hydrated keeps your energy up and your focus sharp, so always pack a water bottle. A few snacks in your bag will give you the extra fuel you need for tricks, games, and non-stop fun at the skatepark.
Pro Tips for Maximum Safety
Hey Parents! Before your kid drops in, make sure their gear is ready for action.
1. Check the gear
Look over the helmet and pads to be sure they’re in good shape. If anything’s cracked, deformed, or showing damage, swap it out before the next ride. Take a moment to check straps, buckles, and padding so everything works as it should and feels comfortable.
2. Choose Quality pads
Good pads cover the right spots, stay put, and still allow movement. Skip the discount store or toy shop protectors – your kid’s safety deserves top-level materials, expert design, and trusted protective gear.
3. Make sure the helmet fits right
The helmet should sit level on the head – not too loose, not tilted back. Straps should be snug but comfortable, and the “Y” part of the strap should sit just below the earlobe. If the helmet wobbles, it won’t protect properly, so never let your kid ride with a helmet that’s too big.
Extra Goodies for School & Skate
For a little extra style and convenience, pack the TSG Schoolcase to keep your pens, tools, and other small essentials neatly organised. The TSG Superlight Backpack is ultra-light and packable, so you can stash it in your main bag and pull it out whenever you need extra space for gear or snacks. And with the TSG T-Shirt Classic XXS, you can show off your skate style both in class and at the park.

Gear up your little shredder for their next big ride
From backyard laps to bike park days – kids ride harder than ever. We’ve got the gear that keeps up.
When your kid’s out there pushing their limits, they need gear that holds up—without holding them back. That’s where TSG Kids Gear comes in. Built tough, designed smart, and made to keep up with young riders who are serious about having fun on two wheels.
Ride-all-day comfort, no compromises
The right apparel makes all the difference when kids spend real time in the saddle. We builtoOur Trailz line for comfort, mobility, and durability—so young riders can focus on the ride.
Trailz Youth Shorts: Freedom to Move, Built to Last
These shorts are made for kids who spend more time on bikes than on screens. With a Flow Fit stretch yoke, mesh ventilation, and durable double stitching, the Trailz Youth Shorts are as rugged as they are comfortable. The race-ratchet waist makes on-the-fly adjustments easy, and a zip pocket keeps small essentials close. Just throw them on and go ride.
From rainy race days to dusty descents, the Trailz Youth Pants handle whatever the trail throws at them. Pre-shaped for pedalling, they combine durable materials with 4-way stretch in key zones and extra reinforcement where it’s needed most. Mesh ventilation behind the knees keeps airflow going, and the interior lining wicks away sweat so they can focus on riding, not fidgeting.
Light, tough, and super comfy. The Nipper Gloves give kids everything they need in a bike glove: solid grip, touchscreen-friendly fingers, and a sweat wipe for those effort-filled laps. The short cuff slips on easy, and the fit’s just right thanks to stretchy materials and a reinforced palm where it matters.
From knee and elbow pads to chest protectors and full-face helmets, we designed our kids’ protection range to handle crashes while letting them ride freely.
Helmets – built for young heads
TSG kids helmets are made for real riding, with lightweight construction, reliable protection and a fit that stays comfortable all day. We’ve been setting the standard since 2011, when we introduced the Nipper Mini—our first helmet built specifically for kids. It’s still a favourite today.
Protection – for elbows, knees and everything in between
Crashes are part of the game. That’s why our kids’ protection gear is built to take the hits without getting in the way. From soft, flexible elbow and knee pads to lightweight upper body protection, we’ve got young riders covered. It’s gear they’ll actually want to wear – and you’ll feel better knowing they’re protected.
Skateboarding isn’t one-size-fits-all — and neither is protection. This guide helps you choose the best TSG pads based on how you skate.
When it comes to skateboarding, protection isn’t optional — it’s essential. But not every pad works for every skater. Whether you’re just starting out, riding bowls, or bombing hills at full speed, your gear needs to match how you skate and what you expect from your pads.
At TSG, we design protection that fits your riding style and personal preferences, from easy-entry pads for beginners to pro-level gear trusted by our team riders.
This guide helps you choose the right TSG protection based on how and where you skate.

Combined with a full-cover slide cap, lateral padding, and anti-slip liner, it gives you reliable coverage during long slides and carving sessions.

What does a skate wonderkid trust for protection?
At just 13 years old, Leonardo Vinicius is already making waves in the global vert scene with huge airs, fearless tricks, and style well beyond his age. In our latest interview, the young TSG team rider talks about growing up on transition, the importance of staying protected, and what makes the right pads essential for progression.
Not all crashes are the same – and neither is the gear to handle them. Here’s how to pick the right protection for your style of riding.
Whether you’re shredding downhill trails, hitting dirt jumps, or grinding rails at the skatepark, one thing is non-negotiable: protection. But not all protection gear is created equal. Depending on your riding style, terrain, and risk level, you’ll want to choose between light, medium, or heavy impact protection.
Here’s a breakdown to help you gear up right.
Light Protection
For trail rides, pump tracks, skatepark sessions & uphill MTB – where mobility is key.
Light protection is made for riders who value flexibility, breathability, and minimal bulk. Whether you’re cruising mellow trails, flowing through pump tracks, playing around in the city, or tackling technical climbs like Stefan Schlie, this level of protection gives you just enough coverage without holding you back.
Recommended Gear:
Knee-Sleeve Dermis A
Featherlight, breathable, and ultra-packable – the Dermis A offers soft-shell protection with high flexibility. Powerband compression and anti-slip cuffs keep it secure even on technical climbs. Ideal for trail and uphill riders looking for subtle, all-day wear protection.
Also available as: Knee-Sleeve Dermis Pro A with extended knee and shin coverage, and as Youth Knee-Sleeve Dermis Pro A for kids. Elbow versions are also available for both adults and youth.
Low-profile and flexible, the Joint sleeve protects your knees without getting in the way. With articulated padding, mesh backing, and lateral foam inserts, this pad is made to disappear until you need it most.
Sleek protection where you don’t expect it: these socks hide soft foam guards for your shins and ankles. Ideal for skatepark laps or urban riding where slipped pedals are part of the game.
When your rides start getting rowdier, you need gear that balances impact protection and pedal-friendliness. Medium protection is perfect for aggressive trail riding, rocky sections, and moderate-speed spills – where you want solid coverage without sacrificing mobility.
Recommended Gear:
Kneeguard Scout A
A solid all-rounder for enduro and trail: The Scout A combines ACF foam protection with a tough nylon front and slip-resistant Horseshoe fit. Pre-shaped design and mesh back ensure comfort and ventilation on long rides.
Slim fit, strong protection. The Chamber features a ventilated neoprene body and a flexible PGF gel pad for medium-impact absorption. Enhanced side padding and an upper pad provide extra coverage, while the anti-slip zones and a 360° strap system ensure a locked-in fit – even when things get sketchy on roots, rocks, or switchbacks.
When you’re going full-send – whether it’s massive dirt jumps, big mountain lines, or technical park riding – your gear needs to handle the worst so you can ride at your best. Heavy impact protection is for riders who push limits, take risks, or simply don’t mess around when it comes to staying safe.
Recommended Gear:
Kneeguard Tahoe A
The go-to pad for dirt jumpers, BMX riders, and all-mountain shredders. The Tahoe A is our most popular kneepad – a team rider favorite – known for its outstanding fit and unbeatable slip-resistance. It combines ACF impact foam with a slim, pierce-proof insert for serious protection, plus lateral padding and a 360° strap system to keep everything locked in place through the roughest lines.
Also available as: Tahoe A Zip – featuring a vertical zip for easier on/off without removing shoes. And Elbowguard Tahoe A
For full-send riders who need full-coverage protection. The Temper A 2.0 combines soft ACF impact foam with a removable hard shell shin guard – plus a slim, pierce-proof insert layered above the foam for added defense against rocks and sharp hits. Four Velcro straps, a 360° bottom strap, and an open-back design make this pad easy to dial in and quick to get on and off.
