Need help with roller skates?
I have a small shop in my local town and I sell skates.


I carry Riedell and Surgrip. If you%26#039;re looking for a high boot skate you can get a good starter pair for around 75-110.00


I prefer the low boot style so my opinon is bias.


If you have wide feet the surgrip boxer is a great option. Most places sell it for 99.99 Connieskateplace.com is a great company and also sincityskates.com is a good site too.


Both women own and operated.


If you have average to narrow feet the Riedell R3 is a great skate. I prefer it a bit over the boxer even though they are similar in price and quality. The plates are bolted in not rivited like the boxer


You can pull out the rivits in the Boxer and replace them with bolts to make them last longer.


If you need help go to your local hardware store they can help you.


The best outdoor wheels in my opinion are Kryptonics 70


they are wide and sticky they will go ever anything and I mean anything. I have yet to hit a rock and have it effect my skating.





But hyper has a good outdoor wheel called energy and surgrip has a 62 version of the kryptonics. The numbers refer to the size of the wheels.





The bearings for outdoor should be grease not oil. Better for dirt and such.Bearings are usually Abec 3-9 Start with the cheaper bearings For your needs you do not need to anything fancy or expensive.Meaning Abec 3 grease.


Wheels come without bearings. However try and get the outdoor wheels as part of your purchase and you will not have to worry about it. Or you can order outdoors seperate and keep them handy so you can easily switch back and forth.


fastgirlskates.com is another great site to visit.


I went to a rink and I just got charge a bunch for stuff that did not work out to well. Not that all rinks are the same but all the sites I listed are owned by skaters too.


Good luck and welcome to your new addiction. Skating is sooo much fun!


If your 18 you should look into Roller Derby you will love love it.


sincerely

Reply:Checking up last year%26#039;s models is a good way to pay less for a quality pair of roller skates. For the brands, there are many good ones out there; Rollerblade, K2, Salomon, etc...
Reply:You should be able to go to any rollerrink and speak withsomeone..if not you can always check out SinCity Skates or Connie%26#039;s Skate Place..both of these places should be able to help you find just waht you are looking for and you can find both online by doing a Google search. They have trained professionals that can answer these questions for you. You%26#039;ll need find several things:


1. the type of boot you want..(the shoe part)


2. you need to figure out what kind of %26quot;trucks%26quot; and plate will give you best mobility


3. Wheels..outdoorwheels tend to be a bit softer so you don%26#039;t wipe out on a rock


4. your bearings these are what actually turn the wheels for you.





hope this helps.
