Need new skates
Hello, ok......I need new skates..... the skates i have been using, are too small and i got them second hand (unused) and they lady i purchased them bought them for roller derby......they feel clunky also
I am after skates that look like a shoe (that quad speedies seems to have) that look very light and very manoeuvrable....... but where does one get these skates??? The 2 shops I have been looking at don't seem to have them.....is there some sort of secret underground place where all you guys get your cool skates? hahaha? Any recommendations would be good, the cheaper the better...... Many Thanks |

 Can you tell us what boot, plate and wheels you have currently? Then we know what you are currently working with.

I would just go new boot and wheels. You can make that plate work fairly well.

Yeah I agree....
Hack the stop off.... Fiddle with the cushions. Go up a notch or two in wheels...

Only atom wheels I like are fusions...ok at carra...very grippy.
Plastic hub .. Take a few points of the A scale as well. So your lowboys may say 95 but maybe really 93... Ask the locals what they like. I know Tim likes the new shamans but they tend to wear fast..
