what were your first skates I am looking for an afforDABLE MODEL TO START OUT WITH, THANKS

mine are an exboyfriend's from god knows how many years ago that i traded him a skateboard for haha. they're so beat up, but i can't use anything else, i bought myself a brand new pair about two years ago and sold them bc they don't compare to my old beat up ones

I just keep hearing riedell but they are so expensive and since I'm just starting it seems like a lot of money to put out right now.

yeah my beat up ones are riedell's. i'm not sure of any good low-priced ones. maybe ask girls on the team or the skating rink?

Maybe I should just watch ebay for riedells

Thats a really good deal, my r-3s were more and i had to replace the shit for wheels... the wheels on these will hold up a bit. I havnt tried them. my r-3s are going strong 9 months later but as said the wheels are shit.. you can get the radar demons for $30 and they are good starting wheels.


either way lowpriceskates is a great company and the customer service is amazing. Good luck

you should try craigslist its sorta like ebay except you could choose your city and see if anyone is selling their skates around you. i actually was lucky enough to buy a pair of riedells for 70$ that this nice lady whos in derby had only used for a month they were in great condition too pretty much brand spankin new. good luck finding some! i hope it helps some

ps if you do go to craigslist type it in right cuz theres also a naughty site almost called the exact same thing..its happened to me a few times
