nah.you dont need them,unless you use mooosive wheels,then you need tham to stop wheel bite.i use just a thin rubber pad between the trucks and deck,seems smoother and stops bolts vibrating loose...again you dont really need them.

Wrist gards spawn bad habits, you keep falling on your hands, and then one day when you take them off, you break a wrist, if anything, just weag leather gloves, then you won't get scrapes but you will not spawn bad habits.
