I'm thinking of getting a pair of roller blades. I don't know anything about them or what specific kind I should get. Once I learn how to skate I want something that can hit rails and stuff with. +K for help.

Go to a shop and try some on that fit you well.
Don't buy them at the shop.
Order them on the web for cheaper (the same size as in the store).
Check for complete skates at http://www.aggressivemall.com

hahaha

hahahahahahahaha

Looks like OP is in Vermont so unless you're willing to go to Toronto you're probably out of luck with trying stuff on. Unless there's somewhere in Vermont that i'm unaware of. If you want you could call aggressivemall or rollerwarehouse and talk to them about sizing and skates. otherwise see what you can find on the cheap or if you see something you like post back.

look up the k2 fatty pro it's a pretty solid beginner skate. You could also look at the remz os2. They're both pretty affordable skates

Thanks for the help.

Would anyone else recommend these skates?

I find fruitbooting to be more gnar than skateboarding. At least with a skateboard you can kick that shit way if you know the landing is going to not be successful.

I'm not coming in here to rain on the inline parade but come on.

That's like freaking out because you can't kick your shoes off in time to fall on the trampoline.


OMG NO MY BOOTS ARE STUCK TO MY FEET! I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO LAND ON THEM!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
