Should I buy Roller Hockey Skates or Aggressive Skates?

Hey Everyone,





I want to get back into rollerblading but I am so confused about which category to get into. I have two options:





1) Buy Roller Hockey Skates: CCM or Missions


2) Buy Aggressive Skates: Remz or Razors





I want to use these skates for riding around and maybe once in a while jump off small platforms or small stairs, nothing serious. I was looking something that is good for riding around New York City (PLEASE NO RECREATIONAL SKATES!). Something I can use after school to ride back home or for the weekends to go to a park and ride around. Do you recommend Roller Hockey Skates or Aggresive Trick Skates? Are Roller Hockey Skates uncomfortable after long hours outside because I see that they don%26#039;t have that much padding? Are Aggressive Skates fast and light? I





I went to Blades but they only had aggressive skates. They feel pretty light.

You may not like this answer but keep reading.


For what you describe, you want recreational or %26quot;street%26quot; skates. Both will be lighter, skate easier, and be faster than either hockey or aggressive skates. They will also be suitable (as long as you aren%26#039;t buying the cheapest you can find) for doing stairs or small (a couple feet high) platforms.





Hockey and aggressive skates are highly specialized to be good at their main use.


Aggressive will be the heaviest and slowest of the group. They are built for heavy abuse without a need for speed.


Hockey skates are more manueverable and more intermediate for speed.


Street skates are designed for slalom and dance moves but are closer to rec skates for speed and distance ability. They tend to have smaller wheels, like the cheaper rec skates but are built more sturdy.


Rec skates are the basic skates designed for getting around and if you get good ones are quite sturdy.


Fitness and racing skates are much better for getting around but also have larger wheels which could make it riskier landing from small platforms.
Reply:I would recommend going to a local shop rather than online. You can%26#039;t try on skates at an online shop to find which ones work for your feet.
