Hi, I'd like to try rollerblading in park and street, but I was wondering if it's a sport where you get hurt a lot compared to skateboarding or DH mountain biking. Also, what would you recommend me getting that's not very expensive to start off with?

you're not going to get hurt worse than you would skateboarding, id say it's about the same. and there really isnt such thing as a bad skate or skate company so basically find something in ur price range.http://www.aggressivemall.com/

GTFO

But as said above aggressive mall is the shit. They have a giant selection and really good prices. I wish I didn't have a huge fucking wound on my ankle so I could skate. Damn longboard falls suck.

You don't get hurt nearly as much as in DH but skateboarding is pretty similar minus the board wrecking your ankles grab some of the K2 Varsity's or Razor Cults they are both pretty good cheap skate and most importantly have fun

Skateboarders like to argue that they fall worse, but truthfully, they can bail. If you get caught up on a rail or in the air, you're going down. nothing to bail off of here. But you're not gonna get hurt real bad if you're just starting. I've yet to be hurt really badly and I'm pretty good.  Your hands can get scraped up a lot if you use them to fall/ hand tricks and whatnot.

http://www.aggressivemall.com/Razor-Cult-B-Skates-p/rzr-skate-cultb.htm these are legit skates super cheap but there razors so there high quality and easy to upgrade.

yeah you can fuck yourself up blading but not so much more so than skateboarding. Its also like skiing in that you gotta know how to fall, dont immediately try and catch yourself with your hands gotta roll outta that shit

i've done both. blading is way more painful to learn becuase you can't bail.

Cult 9's are definitely a solid pair of skates, they should suit you well. I also recommend using wrist-guards your first few times

basically any new cult skate is the same with different colors.  check rollerwarehouse if amall doesn't have your size. and check out the latest post in here for some recent skating  videos.

Yeah they're basically the same skate so they should be good, and according to _Ryan_ the code "freesship" will get you free shipping with your order

its the sickest sport ever behind skiing of course. but i definitely think you should start with some type of cheaper beginner skate. but try a a razor skate for starters they are cheap and are good for a newbie. check out this site. its what i use and is sick... http://http://www.aggressivemall.com/Razors-skates-s/15.htm

i think I'm going to make my skates so that one has a yellow cuff and black frame, and the other has a black cuff and yellow frame. I already have some yellow frames so I figured I'd do that.
BLACK AND YELLOW.

yo you can get hurt equally to skateboarding, but also the main thing was that you dont have front lean or backward lean like your on skis, you just gotta land perfect every time it a bit hard.

ehhhhhhhhh you really shouldnt, it makes a huge difference. plus a p rail is only like 20 dollars to make, and they are amazingly worth it. theres plenty of tutorials on youtube.
