Inline Skates?

[Massimo]

Got my girl a set for Christmas, so I took her down to our local recreational center to try them out. I also hired some to skate with her, well I had forgotten how much fun they are and want to get a set for my self.

So what do you guys know about inline skates. Wanting to get a pair and think the Rollerblade Spark 84 will be a good first set. Good price and good quality. My only issue is that there is now where in Adelaide that sells decent skates. There is the local sports shop but they are over priced shit and the only pro skate shop we have only sells stuff $400+. So I will be buying online, meaning I wont be able to try the skates on first, any thought, suggestions or advice.



Cheers Guys

I think these became NLA in North America in 1997.

Do you guys have places like the Salvation Army or the Good Will or any second hand stores? I've seen dozens of great pairs of skates for $10 bucks usually. In fact I have a pair of those $400 dollar ones you've been seeing but my favorites are a $9.99 pair I picked up from the Good Will because the wheels come off in a clip and you can walk around in the boots in stores.

If you find any of the older 4 wheel skates you might want to pick those up because they're coming back into style for a few years now over here and people are spending mad money on them.

When you are a serious figure skater, these definitely help you keep your muscles in tone in the offseason.
