Rollerblades - skates, which one for a newbie?
 

So, these:

(agressive, wheels are smaller and they're slower, for stunts and shit)

or these:

(inline, bigger wheels -hence harder to drive?- faster, for racers)

I dont know to ski, dont know to ice-skate, I havent ridden any type of boot with wheels before. Which one should I buy? I am a biker and motobiker, but I wanna get these just for occasional fun.

rollerblades! skates, for me at least, were too hard to master. put on a pair of rollerblades and went nuts. then i learned how to ski from rollerblades cause you have to "sit" in them the same way you do a ski boot (they are the same minus the wheels).

however, skate in whatever is comfortable for you. this was just my :2 cents:

I have a pair similar to the second one, with big wheels. They are really good.

You must try and see what happens.

So, do you recommend them, does the sport offer repetitive fun or is it just a few days venture and then off to dust collecting?

depends on you..if you are a slug and think you want to exert some activity and bought these on a whim. they might collect some dust after two weeks....but if you are an active person and totally love to rollerblade..they will become a second mode of transportation for you possibly.

i tried it 13 years ago and I fucking still love it...but i like snowboarding better :thumbsup

I like blades, they're great along a beach or park path during a nice sunny day.

There're a stretch of beach near St Kilda in Melbourne that is rollerblade city during summer.

Have fun!

gotta go with the fast blades.

skate is much harder then blades

Yes I do , i had my first pair 15 years ago (not so high teck as today)

I loverolleblading , why? may be the speed , because of the jumping. There are a lot of thing you can do as you learn and then it´s better.

I love speed :thumbsup
