Recommend some inlines

[mrn8]

I'm thinking of getting some inlines for the summer, since there are now 3 skate parks within a 2 mile radius of my house. I like the aggressive inlines, but have no idea what is good and what isn't. Also, I would like to keep it under $250, if possible.

salomon rob thomsons, razor cult 4's, errr that will do

[mrn8]

Any good places to buy them from? Should I look local, or are there better places to buy online?

[tommy]

im not sure im not from the states or canada, so dont know about shops out there but alex or matthew or someone else will help you out,

[Alex-TRS]

in the states you have tons of options.

the best would probably be
www.aggressivemall.com they have everything, can offer customiation,etc.

then there's


www.skatepile.com


and last

www.bladinaction.com but I wouldn't recommend it....slow shipping and not too good service from what I heard.

As for models well just about anything those shop sell is good! it all depends on what you like in a skate...but I bet you dont know yet! =P

these are usually what set skates apart from each other

-Flexibility ( hard boot, soft boot)
-Weight (Bulky or Skinny)
-Quality of stock parts (frame,liner,etc.)

Let me (us) know what you think of getting and we'll help you out for sure!

I for one ride Remedyz skates and they're the best I've ever ridden. Salomon are also incredibly good and solide skates for the price.

I'd stay away from K2 and USD if I were you.... K2 because they're bulky and stock parts aren't awesome. and USD because they're not really a beginners skate... hard to explain.

Best bets are
Remedyz
Razors
Salomon
Rollerblade

Razors are sick, i'm looking at some remz this year with xsjudo frames, anyone have any feed back .
but i think stayin away from k2 is a good idea they are huge, and they fall apart. also i'm selling a pair of razor shima 2's with ground control 2nd gen frames with senate liners if anyone is interested let me know.

[mrn8]

Are the Cult 4's really wide, like the Solomans? I don't like the wide body on the Solomans, at all. I haven't been able to see any Razors in person.

JW - still have those Shima's for sale?

[Jeff Miles]

yea like jonny said..stay away from the k2 blades..i have some k2 naturals and last summer the wheel already fell off..so yea..im still ride'n without a front wheel..

[Alex-TRS]

razors aren't as wide as salomon's widebody thats for sure.
and the Cult4 is the old Razor Shell which is even narrower.

Old razors mold like the Cult 4 are "precision" skates. Narrower soul space and tight fit.

[Joi]

How do the Razor's sizes compare to regular shoe sizes?

[Roussel]

get xsjado frames, they are amazing

[LikWid]

what is better 2 wheels or 4 wheels

[SBtx82]

Aggressivemall.com has a sizing chart

[xxjzattaxx]

any feed on rollerblade broskow pros? or the solomon tps? yea not much cash to spare and i am debating on the 2. any help. yea and i know how to skate just has been bout 3 yrs or so......

[xxjzattaxx]

messed up it is actually the solomon st pro, and the borskows are the 04's like i sed i dun have too much money.

[tupacalive35]

im getting my first pair this year too. Im thinking a pair of razors, under 200, two wheel if poss. but prob. four if that's all they got. Is this a good idea?

[Alex-TRS]

rolling is a great idea, doesn't matter which skate you buy =)

right now every major brand has damn good products and you'll most likely be satisfied with any of them as a beginner.

also be sure to pick a lightweight skate...helps beginner skaters. and if possible a flexible skate.

in that case Razors is definately worth looking at. Good luck and let us know what you end up with!

[Alex-TRS]

xxjzattaxx :

I would personnaly go for the Salomon...

sturdy skate,
light weight,
extremely comfy
plenty of flex (compared to Rollerblades)
large soul space (good for beginners)
great royale groove (compared to Rollerblades)

alex trs:
i found a little more cash and i am looking at razor cult 4's i have skated a little in the past, and i perfered and antirocker setup better than all 4 on at the same, btw grinding much like grinding on skiboards or a lil diff?

[Alex-TRS]

same tricks but different feeling..... with time it gets to be quite similar but at first you'll find it harder on skates.

rails are usually much easier on skis/skiboards because theres a kicker leading to it...on skates you have to jump on it. that's the big difference. and skiboards have extra lenght which helps balancing.

[Jonny W]

my shima 2's are still for sale, razors are fucking sick.

[matthew]

what size are they jonny?

[Jonny W]

10.5's , they have ground control 2 frames, anti rocker set up

[matthew]

fuck thats like a size and a half to big
