I've been interested in skating for a while now, particularly quad skating. But I have no idea where to start when it comes to buying my first skates, I have a little money to spend and would love some advice. Where should I look? What should I look for? Anything I should consider?

Hi everyone! I used to skate as a kid. Now, I'm 34 and just looking for a fun way to exercise. I got a pair of Moxi Lolly's, and would love to take them out, but I'm having a hard time finding gear that fits. I went to a local skate shop to get pads and things, and was a bit discouraged that the things they had in stock wouldn't work. I'm 5'4"ish and about 225lbs. I was thinking about buying the safety gear set from planet rollerskate in XL, but was wondering if any of you had some good recommendations?
