bought moto gloves, (gardening gloves or any thick leather gloves would do)

sew in velcro with the thickest thread I could find, looped side

bought slippery dips

 

three easy steps, if you screw it up, just try again, and get it right!

okay well,

i have a pair of old bmx gloves so do you recon that would work, if not i still can go out an get some of hose others

and why did you pus velcro on there?

Velcro is attached to all bought slide pucks, so you don't need to melt them on or glue them, thus having to replace the glove all the time as well, also makes an easy swap and rotation of the pucks.

 

BMX gloves will work, the advantage of leather though, is that it lasts, and doesn't wear or tear that easily when you crash

 

Just make sure that when you sew the velcro in, use three or four seperate threads, you don't want to bust a seam, and have to do the whole lot of it again!

Why Velcro? Mate, search, "home made slide gloves" and there are dozens of photos discussion and what not, then ask clarification. Be smart about it.
Yeah, I was going to post a link, but it's on my other computer
Velcro can be ripped off straight up and down, but its extremely hard to tear it off laterally (sideways)....its to o with the loops and hooks of the velcro...
