Roller skates

Post Reply New Topic

I'm thinking of taking up roller skating. Roller blades or ice skates would be harder for me to use, because they only have one blade. Roller skates would be easier, because they have two blades. Where can I find a cheap pair?

skates.com has a lot of styles. I saw what I wanted there and then found them cheaper (and bought from) ebay.

I LOVE roller derby. The problem for me is that I have a really hard time getting both my feet to work independently, and yet together. I actually think it's the reason I never took to sports as a kid. Anyway, I had to ditch derby, but man, is it fun!

Good luck with getting skates!

That's interesting since most people actually feel that Roller Skates are harder then blades. I feel the same way. Skates are harder to control and all that while with blades they're easier to control and skate in.
But you could just check your local Target or Walmart.

I love it, they are awesome.

Roller blading (actually know as in-line skating) is alot easier in my opinion, I tried a freinds inline skates, and I got quite good when I got my own pair, when you learn to inline skate okay ice skating is very very easy, they are almost identical. I have only fallen over on ice skates twice, both were do to someone crashing in to me

I'll look in Walmart and also consider rollerblades, as well. My reasoning about the rollerskates is that they have that nostalga factor. In image of me being The Mod on The Rollerskates, but I'm open to both options.
