I am a 14 year old teenager that wants to try to learn how to inline skate. I dont know which ones to buy or where to get them. I do not know how to skate but want to learn. I know, some people would suggest that I buy a beginner skate, but i really want a skate that actually will last quite a while, from right now all the way until I am a amateur at this. I plan to try speedskating on these same skates too. My parents gave me at highest budget of $150. I live in the SF Bay Area in CA so if you live around there and there are some ads you see around with some good ones that are a good deal, tell me. I also heard that it is best that I do not learn on my own and to get a instructor. Is this true? If so, do you know anywhere in the SF Bay Area that offers instruction?








So heres a summary:


I need skates and want to learn


Use of skates= learn how to all the way to recreational and speedskating


dont know what to buy


MAX budget of $150


Thinking about instruction





Thks for helping.

well if you have 150$ for begginer skates, then you are good to go bro, and as long as they are not Vert Skates then your even better. Inline road skates would be a hard choice though, since there are not so many Hyped Road Bladers out there, the best idea I can give you is look up a proffesional Road Bladder and try to get there dig on the subject, and I am sure you have already tried searching online? if not try this guy right here... http://www.lowpriceskates.com/index.asp


there is a 69, and a 179... so either talk your parents out of a few more dollars or start out like a true begginer and work your way up, good luck bro
Reply:damn kids are spoiled today. when was was a young'n, we had to fashion our skates from old shopping cart wheels and a bit of wood!
Reply:For a 14 year old learning, you certainly do not need to buy anything expensive. Buy a cheap pair for around 50-75 dollars. If you decide after that you like it enough to upgrade, then spend the money. You can get a pair that allows for upgrades to braking, wheels, etc later on. The only thing I can really stress is to MAKE SURE you buy hand/wrist guards. I would recommend a helmet too, but that is your call. If you are learning plan on falling down a bit, and learning on your own is just find. The wrist guards will stop you from tearing your hands apart when you do fall as you learn. Time and practice, and a cheap pair of blades will do you fine until you are ready to upgrade. Good luck!
