Inlin hockey Skates?
1. Bring your skates to a local sporting goods store with a skate oven. You should consider "baking your skates." I work at a store here in Canada which sells those BSX's and, while I don't like them personally, I have Missions and I know they are fairly stiff. The baking process works wonders and is about equivalent to skating in them for about two weeks (give or take). They should go in for 5 minutes at 172 Fahrenheit. You will then wear them, laced tight, for 10 minutes or until the warmth of the boot is gone.





2. As for the support of your weight, I don't forsee any major problems as the chassis you have is fairly strong. Although, as I said, I'm not a huge fan of what you have, but they are decent.





3. The bearings are above average ABEC-5's. Make sure that you keep rotating your wheels (switching the right wheels to the left) in order to provide equitable distribution of the wear.





4. DO NOT USE WD-40 to clean the bearings! I cannot stress this enough.





5. Have fun cutting the weight = )
Reply:At least you recognized the need to go with a name brand skate. I've had a person your size ask if I knew why his skates weren't rolling. The answer was that his cheap, discount store, no name skates with plastic frames. The part holding the front wheel was broken so that the front wheel wouldn't roll.





Your skates look like they have stamped frames where the parts are screwed together. The joints between the parts are likely to be the weak spots. A lot of the stamped frames tend to be made of thinner aluminum because it is easier to stamp.





The strongest frames are made of a one piece extrusion. The extrusion process allows internal bracing to be added without any joints and high stress areas to be made heavier.


Most extruded frames come with single piece axles which are also much stronger than 2 or 3 piece axles.





I was hoping to find a good picture of an extruded hockey frame. www.rockethockey.com/frames.html has a reasonable picture but I would deffinately not recommend it since the snap in axles will be inherently loose and weaker than a screw together axle.





The enlarged view of http://hockeyworld.com/prodHome.ihtml?pi... is good. You can see the built in cross brace between the 1st and 2nd wheels and the thicker material where the frame sides meet the mounting plate.





http://www.inlinewarehouse.com/viewlarge... shows how the wheel mounts in an extruded frame are made thicker (to create the outer spacer by the wheel) instead of being an indent stamped into the frame. It is much stronger.

On days when you aren't doing hockey, take some trips at various speeds on local streets or trails. It will help your skating skills when you need to sprint a bit, your endurance, and weight loss.

The noise issue depends on what kind of noise it is.
Reply:any skates can probably support 330 pounds but just in case ask a sale person at any good sport store.





To tie them better get skate tighteners they work really good even a ice hockey skate.





If there is such a thing take in line skating lessons and if not get someone you know that is good to help you
