Man you guys are great!

It has been a while, but I was a very confident skater when I was doing it, had no problem stopping and starting, skating backwards was fine, but transitioning got more and more iffy the less I skated. I'm not nearly close to the shape I was in as a kid and teen, which is what i'm hoping to get back to by getting into this.


For some reason I heard people budgeting 1k+ for gear, but I guess that's for the high end stuff? I do remember my skates ALWAYS hurting my feet, I don't know if that was fitment issues, or just me having weird feet (although regular shoes fit and feel fine)

I don't mind at all about buying 'last year's stuff', although I think I'll shy away from buying online to start with, better to test fit everything before buying it!

Thanks for that sport check coupon program thing, I'll definitely check that out!!
