Im looking to get back into aggressive skating and noticed that my old skates are way to small and was wondering what some good models, preferably a couple years old, would be worth buying.

what do you want the skates to feel like? and don't say ski boots haha. cause you'd be miserable. and how about your foot size? theres lots of skates you can get for cheap. if you're in the US, definitely use rollerwarehouse or aggressivemall depending on what you can get where and for what price.

ok. well, what do you feel like you want in a skate? there's plenty of cheap ones, but they're different.
have you been looking at anything in particular?

What ever you do don't buy TRS. Garbage. K2 in my opinion were great but they haven't made any in a long time, unless you like those Varsities. Remz are good but expensive.

well thats pretty much everything. you can do all that with any setup. some maybe better than others but...

i think i gave you links to all complete skates, they have frames and wheels and whatnot. look around, see what you like.

oh well that makes it easier. did you like nimh's? cause if you did, you better get some now, nimh recently went out of business along with some of the other companies that were distributed by rat tail.

if you're trying to spend less money. you might be able to use your frames from your last skates as long as they're the same size range. i'm assuming you probably had size 9 or above skates from before? then you're most likely good and can get boot only. although it'd be nice to have extra parts. and if you're gonna do just boot check and make sure about the frames fitting cause some frames have different size ranges.

i also got these. i like them, but i've never tried valos or xsjados so i can't compare them.

the 7.1's are comfy yet they give me blisters. in my opinion you'll want to upgrade from the stock wheels, aiiite? i used my stock wheels till they wore out (i'm a anti-rocker setup, buy the way), then bought some eulogys and they where soooo fucking smooth! yeah!
