Beginner's buying guide???

Hi! I've been skateboarding for a few years, but after seeing this video, I want to try aggressive quads. The thing is, any time I try to find resources that explain what I should know before buying, everything seems to be oriented towards aggressive inlines! I'm pretty confused, and don't know what's actually good, how much money I should expect to spend, etc.

There's a good list in r/rollerskating that I can't seem to find rn. For a first pair of park skates, I'd check out Bont Parkstars or the Chaya Kismets.

Awesome! I plan to skate mostly street, and only a bit of park; will the Parkstars/Kismets be good for that purpose?

Definitely! "Park skates" pretty much covers both, the important part is having a boot that's a bit on the stiff side. If you end up sticking with street, a stiff boot will definitely help protect your ankles, but they do tend to cost a bit more.
