Wrist Bands and bboying?

Question

Ok.. I see a lot of bboys with wrist bands on...

I have one but i'm not sure if I should use it?

Until now I haven't used it and I heard from somewhere if u keep using them they eventually become sort of like "crutches"(?)

Is this true?

Or will wearing wrist bands help prevent injuries? and i will still b able to bboy w/o them later on?

Answer 1

You mean sweat bands?

They're to help absorb sweat, not become 'crutches?'

Answer 2

im sorry to say im not entirly sure but i always thought that wrist bands were to adsorb the sweat when your working out hence theyre alternate name sweat bands

Answer 3

Wrist Guards? or Sweat Bands?
