Tomorrow I'm supposed to be buying knee pads and gloves off of a friend.
Should I buy them or buy the pads and get some ODI's?
My grips now are TERRIBLE with sweat. ODIs are good with sweat. That's the reason I'm getting gloves

Odis last FOREVER .
Your choice.
ODIs arent really as good as other grips with sweat.

Sometimes I use gloves. I get these really thin work gloves. Theyre made by Memphis gloves. I get 12 for $14. I use them for work mostly. They are nitrate coated, it adds some grip. If I were you, I get the pads and grips. You can find cheap gloves.
My bro bought my some button boarding gloves for Christmas. $55!!! But I'd still use the cheap ones anyway.

My friend let me borrow some fingerless gloves, he hasn't asked me for them back yet.
He says he has another pair too.

Sell your bike because you can't make these stupid ass decisions by yourself.

Pussy. Pads aren't vital at all. I bought some pads 5 years ago for boarding and they don't help with falls as much as a nice bottle of suck it up and be a man. Just use your grips until you get holes in them. Use the money for drugs.
I ride for my papou.

I never ride with pads but sometimes I want some. Catching the frame on a whip or a bar to the leg fucking sucks haha. I would probably only ride shin guards under my pants, nothing more lol.

It's his choice and Pads are very useful, ever heard of Shinners? Or do you not ride hard enough to get them?
OP, it's your choice, but honestly ODIs are the worst Grips ever if you sweat a lot. But they are good otherwise.

I'd get the pads, I recently got a few bad shiners and my leg is messed up.
I'm gonna get some shin pads as soon as possible.
