Roller Derby rocks

Roller derby ppl and any roller skate person help?
I tried to check out your choices through your links, but they all just go to the homepage for lowpriceskates.





The R3's are a good starters. I've noticed that girls playing rollerderby that have purchased skates like these end up upgrading in 1-2 years to leather boots, better wheels and bearings. It depends on how serious you are about it. Whether or not you play derby, skating is great exercise!





You can always build your own "package." I prefer leather boots only because they will conform to your feet better and last you longer. I've had my Reidell boots for 20 years now, and they still rock! I also like metal trucks and plates. Yes, plastic is lighter, but I've heard from girls' that through tuff use they will eventually crack. As far as wheels are concerned, if you are playing derby as you know the track is small and tight, so you need a wheel with some grip. Girls on my team have used Hyper Witch Doctors and love them. I've been using Matter D-Rods for the past 2 years, at least twice a week, and they still work great. There is a temptation to buy cheap wheels, but you will find that you'll have to replace them often and you won't get the gripiness you'll need for the tight track. Matter also has new derby wheels that are cheaper that the D-Rods that I'm going to be trying when mine wear out. Bearings? The best bet are Bones Reds...same technology as Swiss but manufactured in China and much cheaper. And, you can transfer the bearing to your new wheels when they wear.





Outdoor wheels I just go for cheap. I've never really experienced a difference, and normally get any ole bearing since performance outside isn't important -- I just like getting fresh air once in awhile!





Also, shop around the net -- I found my wheels at 1/2 the price through one of the oneline stores. And make sure to maintenance them reguarly by rotating the wheels, cleaning you bearings, and oiling them.





See you on the track!
