Okay, so I'm thinking of taking up skating. But I've never used rollerblades before and i don't want to waste money on bad ones.

So, people who know good rollerblade brands, etc, help me out?

And preferably not too expensive.

I live in Melbourne, Australia, so maybe a store there?

Or a site. Whatever!

Go to a sports store near your neighbourhood and ask a person there.

Lol, i don't know why i didn't think of that.

i used to skate but my opinion probaly fails to the help you could get off another site.
hell i got some nice xsjado skates i could sell to you for pretty cheap :P

rollerblades? is Australia stuck in the 80s?

No, as we still would have guns then

2-D, you're thinking of RollerSKATES. Those are they 80's type ones!

blades are still gay

As if! Why do they suck?

I have a pair of Valo AE.1's with freestyle frames. Valo is kinda on the expensive side but worth the extra cash.

I'll get back to you on that. I might take a lesson or two, and then if i really wanna take up rollerblading, i might buy yours or who ever elses. MAYBE.

I said they are gay, as in homosexual, todays meaning of gay.
i didn't say they sucked, just gay.

who said i was selling them :|
I still skate everyday lmao

I don't what i was thinking when i posted that reply, Clutch.

Anyway, that aside, is rollerblading really worth it? I mean, is it hard, etc.

I think it'd be fun to just skate around instead of walking.
Maybe go to the skate park. The problem is, i don't really wanna do it now cos i'd rather do it with someone else than by myself.
