get some leather gloves from bunnings, cut up a chopping board and glue them on with quik grip, or you can stick/stitch some velcro

My first set of gloves were old gardening gloves with particle board, yes particle board glued on with liquid nails. they worked bloody rad for a while, just scab some cheap gloves from bunnings, you can get them for under 5 bucks.

Then stick something hard to them anything you have around the house will be better than you bare hands, ya crazy little dude, that photo gave me the shivers just lookin at it.

if you want DECENT gloves, dont get chopping board, you will go through 10 boards before you go through a set of slippery dip slide pucks ($24-$30 a set but well worth it), all you need is Velcro ($1.10/m from any arts and crafts store - $20+ from bunnings), a decent set of leather gloves that fit tightly, dont get a shit house pair of gardening gloves, since they are massive and have alot of flappy bits you are more than likely to drag the gloves and tear it to shreds,... a $15 set of gloves will last you a few months, a $5-10 set of gardening gloves will be lucky to survive after a couple of weeks.. just be sure that when you are in bunnings getting the gloves you try them on before you buy, make sure they fit nicely but are not lose, and tight enough so that you still have movement in your fingers.. and you wanto only use pucks on the palms, not on the fingers, be sure to practice hands down slides with just your palm pressing against the ground and not your fingers!! you will save yourself cash not having to use pucks on the fingers.

 

 

with a set of decent gloves and slippery dips + velcro, i only spent $40 on gloves, they have lasted me ages and the slippery dip slide pucks will last you 5-6 pairs of gloves.. it seems expensive but it'd be less than having to make new gloves every couple of weeks.

I totally agree with every thing you say but he said cheap and he has been hands down sliding in bare hands so I was just suggesting the cheapest thing I knew if. I totally hear you on the tight gloves thing. Floppy thumbs means they can get caught easier. Ow ow ow.

how big are your hands?i have a pair of decent ones i made that i wont be using anymore due to buying some s9 surgeons.. without pucks i will sell them to you for $10, they have velcro attatched to them with shoe goo, the velcro on them was made to stick 80mm pucks, but you could go smaller, wouldnt recommend going any bigger since you wont need to..

 

 

$22 for 80x10mm pucks with velcro attatched or $27 for 80x15mm, i personally wouldnt go any thicker than 20 seeing as these gloves last so damn long!! just be sure to get a set of slippery dip slide pucks.. you wont be disappointed!

Alright. Chopping board wears like fuck
And gardening gloves make you look like an obese 10 year old

But some adhesive Velcro
Some motocross gloves for 30 bucks.
And some slippery dip slide pucks
And you have gloves that will last
Pucks that will last
And the option to move and rotate your puck to how you like ot
