Barbra Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 (edited) Back when i was a wee lad of around 10 i used to rollerblade, pretty good as well to be fair. Been thinking recently to get back into it. But times will have obviously moved on in 6 years.I'm looking for names of the good brands so i can go and research them and stuff. (back in the day i had Roces)Could anybody show me some good blades, i want ones that will last, not just novice ones and i'll have to buy more as i get better. Lets say around the £150 mark lets see some linkage guys! EDIT: Also some good websites to order from would be pretty cool cheers loves!

JonMack Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Roces still make skates, check out Oli ShortsOther brands include,Xsjado, Remz, Deshi, USD, Razors, Valo, K2They're all good brands (besides K2, they suck) so whatever you like the look of, go for it.Ignore the whole "buy two sizes bigger than your shoe size" it's bullshit, buy the same size, although they will seem tight at first the padding will soon break in and they will be comfy. I personally skate Xsjados because they're revolutionary in the fact you wear "footwraps" which is basically just a shoe designed for the skate, it means you dont have anything to worry about leaving at a spot like you do with any other brand, where you have to leave your shoes somewhere.Shops, i'd recommend http://www.fearandrolling.co.uk, They offer a price match service, if you find some skates on another site you like the look of and they dont have them on the page, you can email them and they will order them in for you asap. I also work there I would link you to some skates, but theres nothing that really sticks out in particular as an amazing deal, just get something from one of the above brands and youll be a garan winner!!If you want any more help, shoot me a PM!!

Barbra Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Cheers MonsterJ, do you know any good websites to learn from as well? Sort of like, the trashzen of the inline world? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 I dunno about anywhere to learn from, but check out rollernews.com, rollingedits.com and ukskate.com theyre the 3 main forums, personally i post on... none of them because they all suck. But i'd say RN is the best, RE is good for US people, and UKHate is full of dicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
