Does anyone know if the corr ata 700 aggressive inline skates are good? also trs downtown 3...?
the rollerblade trs downtown 3, can u grind good in them and how is the landing impact?
Does anyone know if the corr ata 700 aggressive inline skates are good? also trs downtown 3...?
Corrs are not good skates. They%26#039;re not made with the quality of the true aggressive skates out there and come with metal grind parts which is the last thing you really want as metal doesn%26#039;t slide like plastic.
If you%26#039;re only considering the Corrs and the Downtowns, go with the Downtowns. You can find them pretty reasonable on eBay these days. These skates will last you much longer, will be more comfortable and will slide when you learn how to grind much better than the Corrs will.
There are lots of other great aggressive skate manufacturers out there you may want to check out. I%26#039;ve listed a website I%26#039;ve put together and some online stores you can check out.
Good luck and happy skating.

How durable are LED wheels for inline skates?
I do a lot of night blading, and thought they would be fun...but will they last?
How durable are LED wheels for inline skates?
If you%26#039;re concerned about the lights--they will last a very long time. The lights are LEDs, and does not use batteries, but a magnetic mechanism. So unless the magnetic mechanism fails, it should work for years! They are beautiful in the dark, and you will definitely attract alot of oohs and aaahs...
One warning though; they are not very efficient wheels. The reason I know is because I am a moderator for a skate club, and we purchased these wheels to use for night Christmas parades that we were asked to participate in. The crowds loved it, and we actually won an award. However, even with the best bearings, these wheels pretty much sucked big time when it came to serious rolling.
HTH~Happy Rolling!
Reply:they do but i dotn think for all that long, get a warrenty for it so you coul get them fixed for free

Are the Roller Derby QE-747 inline skates any good? Are they comforatable and fast?
I don%26#039;t have experiance with them but am going from on-line descriptions.
The 747s look like reasonably good recreational skates. They have a good frame and reasonably sized wheels (Labeda is a good wheel brand).
If you want speed, you might also want to compare the Roller Derby Lamond skates (link below). If you compare the two skates you will notice that the Lamond has 90mm wheels instead of 80 (roll easier and faster, more stable at speed) and the boot is cut shorter (the faster you want to go, the shorter the boot gets for flexibility). The web site says %26quot;racing%26quot; but they would be more commonly called %26quot;fitness%26quot; skates. 4x90 is becomming a common fitness arangement.
If you are new to inline skates, the fitness skates may be a little less supportive and a little harder to turn/stop at first than the recreational skate but is reasonable to learn on. I would NOT recommend racing skates for a complete beginner.
I have given you some online links but seriously recommend buying them locally if possible. Fit and Comfort depend a lot on the shape of your feet. Many companies have a different fit on their rec and fitness skates with the fitness skate being a closer fit to the foot for the same size.
You want the skate to fit snug all around the foot without pinching on the ends of the toes. Then the skate can act as an extension of your feet.
If you are a beginner, don%26#039;t forget to get a helmet and wrist guards. Those are the two most critical pads from the likelyhood and seriousness of pain and injury when you fall (it will happen, especially if you want to go fast).
A standard bicycle helmet will work. Like the skates, you want the smallest one that fits. Anything larger will allow it to rotate if you hit your head (not good).
Knee and elbow pads depend more on your comfort level. Knees are also likely to get scraped up when you fall.

What is the best brand of inline skates??
As with most things, there is no such thing as one best brand for everyone.
For recreation and fitness skates, the two major brands in the US are K2 and Rollerblade. Generally, they are approximately equal in quality and technology. They have the size and engineering budgets to stay ahead of the smaller companies.
The biggest reason to choose one over the other is how the skate fits on your feet. In the past, K2 skates were known for fitting narrow feet better than Rollerblade and Salomon was better for wider feet.
However, the fit also varies from model to model even within one brand.
You want the smallest skates that will fit you. The skates should be evenly snug all around your feet without crushing your toes. The skates work best when they act as part of your feet. Try on every skate you can find in your price range.
I bought my current pair of skates online (it was a close out deal when Salomon quit selling skates in the US) and they don%26#039;t quite fit the same as the same model from several years earlier.
When trying skates on, try both the men%26#039;s and women%26#039;s skates. The shape of the foot is different but either one may fit YOUR feet better. One of the changes is that the back of the boot is usually lower on women%26#039;s skates to fit the common shape of the calf muscle on women.
Other than fit, things to look for are the wheel size and the frames.
Larger wheels roll better than small wheels. I don%26#039;t recommend any skate that has a maximum wheel size less than 80mm. 80mm is the smallest of the common sizes for rec/fitness skates, and bigger wheels are getting more popular every year. With smaller wheels you cannot have as many options when you need to replace them and cannot get as good of wheels.
Metal frames are better than plastic.
Don%26#039;t worry about ABEC numbers that manufacturers like to hype. They are an anomoly of the history of skates. The rating is an industry standard for high speed machinery, not skates. Many of the best bearings do not even meet the ABEC 1 standard.
