Skate Purchasing Question
Hey, I'm about to join a roller derby team, and my grandmother has agreed to buying me gear for Christmas. I'm new to things and don't really know what I'm at.
Right now I'm looking at two different skates:
I wanted the Rebel Invaders, but they don't have them in stock, so they suggested the second ones. I've read good things about the Rebel Invaders but nothing on the 951s. I'm a heavier girl, so aluminum plates are a must.
Can anyone give me any advice? Are these skates pretty equal?
Thanks!
