i would say the Cults would be your best option for sure. good solid skate to learn on. go for it. Gen 8s just dont feel like beginners skates. but, i guess you could argue any skate could be a beginner skate. except Remedyz. Remz, cuffless with a v cut are the most impossible things to skate ever. but anyway, get the Cults. you will not be disappointed.

I'd say valo tv.2's  Remz os are under 250 but I don't like them, but other people do I guess.  Nimhs are real cheap on d-structure but you'd have to make your own groove.

yeah maybe its just me. i like the feel of a solid skate. one that wraps my ankle in, kinda like a ski boot i guess. Remz just feel, floppy, i guess. im a fan of the Valo feel. and right now im loving my Nimh V.1s but ive skated everything. from RB to Xsjado. i also liked how nimble the Oli Shorts/ M12s are. i want a pair of those pretty damn badly.

i just got valo  tv2's and they are amazing. I had the baileys before them and loved them to death as wells.  In my opinion valos are the best skates being made at the moment.  I've  skated razors, usd's, RB's, and remz... and valo has by far been my favorite...  hence why i bought another pair.

yea i got those too. really fun. i almost got some cults but my friend has some and the size of the soul plates or what ever their called were so small he couldn't really do any of the goofy grinds. so i got the point 8's and they have much bigger soul plates and are super fun.

holy shit i just wrote a novel.

he knows his shit. I got Genesys 8's about 2 weeks ago and I love them. I hadn't ever tried rollerblading before I got themand within 4 hours I was learning grinds. Compared to my friends roces majestic 12's, my soul plates are huge.
