[QUOTE="wake_rider, post: 1381813, member: 75633"] I use cutting boards to make "slide gloves" which are a glove you use in high speed carving on a longboard (long skateboard). When you are carving a hard turn you can lay over and drag your palm on the ground and these work as a protective puck to skid along the concrete. I just cut them to size, get a pair of rough leather welding gloves, hit the back of the 'puck' with a propane torch until it gets a little watery looking, then smash the palm of the glove onto it. It's about a $6 slide set which is ugly as sin, but lasts longer and cost a heck of a lot less (about $75 less) than a pair of gloves specifically designed for this application. I wonder If I could make a disc guard out of this stuff for my rear disc. [/QUOTE]
