how do they run? she wears an 8 in womens shoes, or a 6 in mens shoes, what should size in skates should i get her?
Inline skate sizes%26gt;! how do they run? i want to buy my girlfriend a pair for valentines day.?
Skates run about a 1/2 size bigger than a shoe but what I would do is try to take her skating before V-day and see what size she picks out/fits her. If you can't take her skating you will be fine buying her a skate in a size 8. A 1/2 size is not going to matter when buying skates found at sports stores (fitness skates, 4 wheeled inline skates) such as K2 or Rollerblade brand skates. Size matters most when buying skates such as aggressive or racing. Please don't hesitate to ask me for clarification.

Aggressive inline around $150?
Does anyone know of a website I could get a pair of aggressive inline skates in a size 13 for under $200? Every place I go to (especially skate shops and the mall) anything over size 10 jumps about $100 in price.
Aggressive inline around $150?
Check out the online skate shops below. Their pricing does not change based on size and there are several skates out there that are under $150 and in your size range. All of the skates listed on these sites will be quality (none of that knock-off, falls apart in 2 days junk).
You can also try eBay as some skate shops sell their overstock there.
Best of luck and happy skating!
Reply:your best bet is to get them used at ebay because youlprobably never find a pair new for under 200$ and if you do they will probably stink. If you wanted them new then go to www.aggressivemall.com but i think cheapest size 10+ is atleast in the 200s

Inline skating?
anybody know what station on tv they show aggressive inline?
Inline skating?
Sometimes they show it on versus. They had the lg action tour a few months ago on versus, the outdoor channel. It's very seldom to find it on t.v. now, popularity has dropped, as it has been dropped from the x-games as well. Your best bet is to buy a video. check some out here: http://www.aggressivemall.com/Magazines-...
Reply:LG action sports is the best tv show for showing inline skating, the show vert park and street with skaters all around the world. the channel is 419 on sky.

Replacing Inline skate wheels...?
one of the wheels on my skates is chipped and needs to be replaced and I've never done it before...is this something I can do by myself or should I have a professional do it?
Also do I need to get a new bearing for it or is this something different?
Replacing Inline skate wheels...?
Nope, you can do it yourself. I've done it many different times, with my skates because my wheels wear out rather quickly. If you want to pay to have a professional do it right, that's your call. If you want a new bearing, that's fine, but i don't think its necessary This website will help you out:http://inlineskating.about.com/od/annual...
Also, this site tells you how to remove your bearings:http://inlineskating.about.com/od/mainta...
I hope you are able to fix your skates without too much hassle. Good Luck!
Reply:You should be able to replace the wheels yourself. Also, since one is dead, the others may follow soon, so you might want to replace all of the wheels. It is simple. just get two allen wrenches to go into the bolts holding the wheel in. Take the bolt out. Be sure not to let the spacers fall out (the plastic or metal thing protecting the wheel from hitting your skate). The wheel should come out easily.
http://inlineskating.about.com/cs/ht.htm
Next, remove the bearings. It might help to use the bolt from the skate to pop them out. Since you have the bearings out, you should clean and lube them. They do not have to be replaced, unless they are not spinning or are rusty. Then put those bearings on your new wheels, and bolt the wheels back onto your skate
Reply:It's fairly easy to replace inline skate wheels. Just make sure you have the skate tool or hex wrench (some skates require two, one for each side), and the wheel(s) to replace the old one with. Below is a link to step-by-step instructions.
You may want to change all your wheels at once, because the urethane wears out each time you roll, so if you don't change all the wheels, you may have different size wheels which may affect your roll, not to mention dangerous.
The bearing is a totally different part, but a very crucial one. If you feel that your wheels are not spinning as freely as you wish, you may want to clean, and lubricate them. This can be a very tedious procedure so if you're not too sure how to do it, you may want to get help--or you can just put in new ones!
Hope that helps--happy rolling! (^_^)
Reply:There is nothing to it - you can do it yourself. There will be a small wrench (looks like a key) that came with your blades. There will be a bolt that runs through the middle of your wheel (through the middle of the bering). Unscrew the bolt and remove the wheel. You will have to take the berings out of the old wheels (there should be 2 per wheel). Use a screwdriver and pop them out - they are just held in by pressure. Push them into the new wheel and install it back on the skate. The whole thing takes about 5-10 min.

Roller skates for beginner?
I'm thinking of buying outdoor roller skates, but since I'm a beginner I don't know which type would be best for me, quads or inlines. I'm 19 and don't really want to buy a second pair later on (I read other posts, and some suggested starting with quads and then moving to inlines after)...
If you skate (or used to skate), approx. how long did it take for you to learn to do it comfortably (w/o falling)?? {and mentioning the type of skate you used would be helpful too, thanks}..are quads easier to master than inlines, or is that a wrong assumption?
Any input is greatly appreciated ~ I'd love to hear your opinions regarding either/both skates, especially if you skate yourself=).
(what's aggressive inline skating?? I don't want to do it, just curious...)
Roller skates for beginner?
last time I skated on quads it was like 1980 something and they sucked back then, I inlined skated for a long time and took me a day to learn good and a good week of doing it comfortable enough to not fall down and actually skate around the city. I believe both are just as equal as the other, quads may be easier to learn on or skate on, my gf can't skate with inlines she has to use quads. Really it'll be up to your preferance. I don't inline skate anymore and did some aggressive inline skating for a while but I liked my skateboard more and that what I stick too. I'd just get something that you think you'll like and try it out, learning is up to how much time you want to put into it, learning to just skate around is easy, find a nice open area and go slow. Good luck
Reply:It’s personal preference. No one should influence your decision except you. Try them both and decide what you like. (I like quads.) By the way, all skaters fall; it’s just a matter of how often. Learn to fall and get up properly without causing yourself injury. That’s the key! Report It

Is it easier to learn inline skateing or skateing on quad wheels?
I grew up skateing on the quad wheels and loved it but that was years ago. My son (8) wants to learn how to skate. Someone told me it was easier to learn how on the inline skate instead of the quad. What do you think? Can you skate on roads and driveways in the inline skates? I know with the quads wheels it was hard because of small pebbles.
Is it easier to learn inline skateing or skateing on quad wheels?
Quads are easier to learn on as they give you a wider base on which to balance. Wheels are much softer now and don't get caught up on every little imperfection on the ground. However, if your son eventually wants to learn to inline skate, you might as well start there. The two feel completely different and after learning on quads, he'd have to learn all over again on inline skates.
Start him off on a flat, smooth surface and be sure he's wearing knee pads and wrist guards at the least. With inline skates, most people will either fall forward and put their arms out to catch themselves or will fall backwards on their butt and again, put their arms out.
When purchasing skates, be sure to buy quality. The cheap skates you'll find at places like Wal-Mart and Target are going to be uncomfortable and won't last. Visit a local sporting goods store and you should find a wide range of prices and quality. Stick to brands like Rollerblade, K2, Salomon or Nike. These skates will cost you a little more, but will last much longer. Some even have adjustable sizes so your son won't grow out of the skates quite so fast.
Good luck!
Reply:Geez. I would just fall on my butt with inline!
I say for 8 years old, get the quad.
I was such a wimp, getting the wierd plastic ones that could hardly roll too....! :D
