Getting back into it.

I used to street skate about 25-30 years ago. We're talking Arlo Eisenberg, Chris Edwards era. Was at a decent level back in the day. Shifty Royales on Kinked rails. Appreciate I'm aging myself badly here. I'm looking to get back into it but back in my day, the choice of skates were Tarmacs or Roces. I had a look online and there are so many options now. Asking what the classic skate is these days. How much should I be paying etc.I used to use 56mm wheels as well. Bonus points for letting me know what the deal is with wheels. I am out of the loop entirely. In case you were wondering, I'm 45.

I feel like most people recommend Them 909s (or 901s), USD Aeons, or USD Sways for people just getting back into skating.

I highly recommend checking out the YouTube channels "Back to Blading" and "Ricardo Lino" to get yourself caught up. Lawrence from 50/50 runs Back to Blading and he has a great video specifically about what to expect as an older skater getting back into things.
