187 Killer Pads was founded in 1999 with a clear mission: to create high-quality protective gear that keeps skateboarders safe while shredding the local pool/vert ramp etc.

The skateboard brand’s name, “187,” is a nod to the California Penal Code section for murder, thereby emphasizing their commitment to preventing serious skate injuries.

187 Killer Pads sponsors an impressive number of skaters, including legends and rising stars:

Steve Caballero
Tony Hawk
Lizzie Armanto
Christian Hosoi
Moto Shibata

187 Killer Pads protective products include:
Fly Skate Knee Pads: These pads feature a contoured, form-fitting design that cradles the knees. The foam system absorbs hard impacts, and the seamless interior finish ensures ultra comfort and free movement.
Pro Elbow Pads: Designed with the Lock-In™ Cap System, these elbow pads secure and align the removable cap in the correct position. They also have a lightweight, fast-drying interior lining and ballistic nylon construction for durability.
Derby Wrist Guards: Offering protection for your wrists, these guards are essential for skaters. Comfortable and reliable, they use the latest technology to keep you safe on the ramps.

187 Killer Pads is the go-to choice for professional skaters. Their gear is trusted by pros as they push the limits of skating every day.

 "Great video, and thanks for making it... I was originally more concerned about price, but you made such great points that you’ve sold me on these 187s. Cheaper usually ends up being a false economy while having an inferior product the whole time. Like you say, it’s really an investment, and good safety gear is ultimately about self respect."
