well i just found some that were 140 bucks but with discount its 80. they got the grind plate and decent wheels so i think im gonna go with these. ive only got a 100 bucks to spend on em so i guess these will have to do.

i think im gonna go ahead and get the bladerunner fury aggressive in-line skates. if anyone has ever heard of'em

its kinda crazy, i found some that were like 700 bucks. i would expect with one push you could glide for atleast 2 miles.

I used to rollerblade a LOT in highschool and college (I was really cool) I played a lot of rollerhockey and a lot of highspeed tricks to impress the babes. (never found one that was impressed) In college I started playing around with speedskating long distance. My record was 10 miles in 40 minutes. Now I use my mad skills to bug my wife when we go rollerblading down the bike paths

Never got into the freestyle stuff as I'm a long time skateboarder, but I do rollerblade for excersize and to play street hockey. I picked up a set of Missions 5 or 6 years ago for a couple hundred bucks, and they're still going strong
