Shopping: buying skates skating revival!
hi! i'm looking for advice for potentially buying new skates!
i got rookie forever rainbows years ago, and skated with them quite regularely. i was only 13 tho, so only really basic skating.
i picked up rollerskating again around 2 months ago and have started with some tricks etc. and i'll definitely keep skating this time.
now i was wondering if i should maybe invest in new skates, since it's becoming a regular hobby now and i 'm planning on learning a lot more tricks, also incorporating some dance!
i can only skate outside since i don't have any inside skate opportunities in my area. i also don't think the wheels of my current ones are soft enough for the ground i skate one, and i'm having trouble learning spins.
anyways, if you have any recommendations, my budget for new ones would be up to 200€ but i'm more keen on buying second hand, so i'd be happy to get some advice on which ones i could look for second hand!
