Where do you buy knee pucks from?

Where do you track Pros and knee-draggers like to buy your pucks at?

Do local stores often have them or is online the best bet?

Do I want to buy a specific type of hard lexan or plastic or nylon so that they last?

Here is a pic of the cheap, soft plastic knee pads that came with my cheap chinese pants:

Where it looks buckled it actually wore through the plastic and into the leather and velcro backing material, and this is only over the span of one track day.

I'd like something that will last longer than that.

I've had a lot of different ones over the years, my favorite are the ones from intuitive... the same UHMW (ultra high molecular weight) material that they use in thier from sliders and it last a really long time, and has good feel and a different sound.

Have a look at these perhaps?

No personal experience with them, just read about them.

I like this one:

Wow, these look awesome and are sure to last a while. However, I am new to knee sliding, and still enjoy that sound of plastic scraping asphalt. :)

Thanks, will check into these.

Ebay.

I just scored some Chicken Hawk Racing pucks for 16 bucks.

E-bay! Duh! Everything is on E-bay for cheap, why didn't I think of this?

I got mine from Cycle Gear but I don't remember what I paid but I know it was a sale. Glad you are having this problem. Looks like you are making progress. I had better hurry and catch up.

These had a good reputation when I did that sort of thing:

Bickle Racing

You could even ride in and pick them up.
