r/inline_skating

The other day I found pretty good Rollerblade Fusion x5 online and although the shell is soo scratched, they are the reasonable price of 60€. Today i found new and untouched skates, same brand but 100€ :(

I used to rollerskate when i was little, and im trying to get into inline skating because it looks way more fun. I don’t know if the hobby will stick though, since im trying many at the time. But I think I would enjoy skating in new boots more…

What would you recommend for me to do? Should I purchase the used ones as they are cheaper?

Hello buddies, i recently went to pull my blades out from storage and found that during cleanup from a flood, my boyfriend had shoved them in a bag and let them sit without telling me :(. Well, now i’m here to replace them on hopefully his dime. I don’t remember the most recent pair I bought, lowk didn’t like them the best, but i’m absolutely torn up about the loss of my Blade Runner Pro 2500’s. I loved them so much and I remember them being incredibly comfortable and incredibly supportive in the ankles specifically (which is big for me). I would thoroughly appreciate it if someone could help by recommending a more modern pair that is comparable, i’ll be forever in ur debt.

I have been skating mostly on 88A wheels.

In my well-known parking lot (smooth grippy tarmac), I know for a fact they don't slip when is wet.

Recently I got 85A Wheels, same brand. Tried in the same wet parking lot and they were slippery.

So: Softer wheels are more grippy on dry tarmac but slippery on wet tarmac.

Hola patinadores! Tengo dudas no se si comprarme los rollerblade rb 80 o los flying eagle shrike x3 porque los flying eagle x3 en mi talla las ruedas son de 76mm frente a los rb que los he probado y me van genial que son de 80mm

Hay mucha diferencia?

Sería para ir a dar paseos, nada de trucos... Que me recomiendan?
