Valo inline skates look hella sick but I have no idea what skates are good. I was thinking of getting these skates but I have never skated. <http://www.aggressivemall.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=VALO%2DSKATE%2DTV2%2DBO%2DW&Show=ExtInfo> Are they good?????

have you got any legitimate reason to hate on inline? o are you just doing it cos you think it is cool, skating is far more similar to the sport that we all love than skating is....

valos are super expensive especially if you're just starting. razors are a really good bend and pretty cheap too

problem with buying skates is that it all boils down to personal preference. Plus there's basically nowhere to try them on. Valos are kind of heavy, I wasn't much of a fan. Other people love valo though. Currently, I personally skate Carbon 2's, pretty costly, but I really do like them a lot.

It's one of the dumbest things you can possibly  spend your money on,  and its not fun. you feel like a fucking idiot doing it in the skate park. trust me, i got a pair from my friend and i felt like a full on retard.  get a skateboard and learn a respectable sport.

Most of them are full leather finish on the boots so has anyone had them tear while skating?

Don't get valos. Valos are basically Roces with a cover on top on them --> in other words, a rebranded 10 yr old skate. USD, Remz, and Xsjado (what I skate), are some better brands.

i've been skating for the past few weeks and the fact that you had no fun with it is sad
lol
this is a fuckin blast
so much more fluid and natural then skateboarding seeing as i've skied since i was 2 1/2 lol

honestly...if people have wheels and they are having fun and not being an idiot then who gives a shit about what anyone else is doing

Ive had a pair of the AB.1's in Blue, and another in Black, and had very little tear in the leather, its a good mix, and they dont get too fucked up.

I would also suggest Xsjados for a super comfy skate, and tons of adjustable flex.

Razors are alright, too stiff, and uncomfortable personally

Before saying anything, I've been skating for well over 8 years now, so yes, I know what I'm talking about, Razor Fanboys.

Classic Thrones are rough, you may want to try a different, custom set of liners, and maybe some gel inserts. I hated those guys.

insoles and such would help, also if they're new the liners need to break in.

thing about those new trusts is apparently they allow you to downsize the shell. So, if you keep the same shell and get a liner thats a lot smaller it might fit funny. I'd call amall and ask about it, they'll know.

Whats up NS?

  I've got Roces 5th element skate that I snagged from the local thrift store and they work pretty good, but are a size to small. I was thinking of getting some legit skates from online but I don't know whats good. I know how to grind rails like I would skiing, so i'm not totally clueless towards blading. If one of you could direct me towards some blades that are moderately cheap that would be swell. thanks for your help!
