Hey guys.

Does anyone on here do rollerblading??

I used to do it a lot as a kid but havent done it for years. Thinking of getting back into it again so was wandering if anybody could point me in the right direction to a good pair of 'blades'. I dont want the stuff you buy for kids or can get in places like Argos or Tesco's, I ideally want to get a pair like the pro's use. A website or shop would be good.

Thanks in advance guys for any info any of you have.

Never roller-bladed before Chris, I was a Roller Skater...

If I was looking to buy some today I would be online looking for some Roce's (or Bauers if I was desperate). Seeing as blades became popular just as I stopped skating I would look for similar brands...

Don't forget some pads too :lol:

Good luck :wink:
 
Yeah we were out roller skating all the time, hanging on the back of cars, doing the buggy boy on the slopes of the old people's home, playing roller hockey. I was a bauer boy and Jr was a roces racer. Basically if you have slimmer feet go bauer, chubbier feet go roces :)

I have been on the rollerblades but didn't feel too comfortable and I hate ice skating, balance isn't an issue just the technique. If I ever got into it again would go back to the skates :)

Very fun :D
 
Hey Chris,

Funny you should bring this subject up. I used to be the bladed king at the local leisure centre back in the day and could be found on more than 1 occasion cooly skating backwards to Erasure and Donna Summers :lol: Anyhows, i decided to get the kids into it last year and got them suited and booted aswell as me getting a pair and we took it easy going up and down the promenade next to the beach here in Cleethorpes, hanging onto backs of bikes etc but it didnt last long. If you happen to be an adults size 10-11 then my blades are in almost new condition and look the dogs bollocks. I looked at getting some old skool bauers but they were that expensive i got the next best thing. I cant even remember the make but they where about £90, They are up in the loft somewhere and are trendy black plastic with iluminous green wheels, laces and i even have matching leggings i will throw in for free :lol:
Let me know if they are anygood to you and i will send you a photo and we can come to a cheapo price matey.
 
Hey Chiffy.

Sorry for late reply.

I used to blade more than I rode a bike when I was younger, absolutely loved it. Would regularly play street hockey with a group of my mates. The amount of people we pissed off by setting their car alarms off by smaking tennis balls into then was huge!!! :lol: Can you send me a pic of them matey, thanks.
