What are Roller blades have just 2 wheels on each boot (big wheels)?

I%26#039;ve seen the dog whisperer wear them before but can never find them.

What are Roller blades have just 2 wheels on each boot (big wheels)?
They are Land Rollers. www.landroller.com/





Very eye catching. Not very good for skating. No serious skater will use them.





If he is letting the dogs pull him, the large wheels might have a slight advantage.

I bought roller blades and im having trouble please help for 10 pts?

My rollerblades are fforward brand and i bought them at target for $30 or $40 but there slow i have to keep sk8ing and sk8ing w/ all my strength to go as fast as other skates.could it be i need to break them in?? or oil them?? or loosen up the wheels??

I bought roller blades and im having trouble please help for 10 pts?
I%26#039;m sorry to tell you but it%26#039;s probably the skates. Most of the lower cost skates have cheap bearings in the wheels and so they are slower and stiffer no matter what. you can but new bearings at the skating rings if they are blades or even speed wheels may help. Are they in-line or no? Well good luck.
Reply:Dont Loosen The Wheels That Could Strip The BEarings Just Go To Your Local Surf/Skate Shop Get A PAir Of ABEC 9s and get some shortys speed cream Trust me this should work on blades just like it does on skateboards

I need roller blades, but I wear a Size 15 shoe...?

I can%26#039;t find a web site that sells skates my size, do you know of any?

I need roller blades, but I wear a Size 15 shoe...?
depends on the maker of the skates is what size you need. if you are just buying skates at say walmart or a local sporting store then basic shoe size is how they are normally measured.





if you want real inline skates, then look into names like luigino, powerslide, bont, etc. here is the sizing chart for two of them but remember....top of the line inlines are each measured by each manufacturers specs. http://www.powerslideusa.com/luigino/siz...





I myself have the Powerslide C4%26#039;s (http://www.powerslideusa.com/C4_tech_spe... ) and absolutly love them. On indoor track have been clocked at 28mph and I know from others they can handle up to 85mph outdoors.





also know that normal ones bought at like walmart will not be fast, not be comfortable, not be form fitting to your feet and ankles, will have low grade wheels, bearings and spacers. like anything else...you get what you pay for.

What does ABEC means related to Roller Blades? Any recommendation when buying Roller Blades?

ABEC is just the type of bearing. It means nothing. Its the number that follows it that is important. the higher the number, the better. Try and get ABEC 7s...other than skateboard named bearings, they are the fastest around.

Do your children have roller blades, roller sneakers, and/or Heeley's?

Have they ever been seriously injured as a result?








Our children, ages 8 and 12 have been gripeing for these, and I recently purchased them for Christmas, having second thoughs due to safety reasons.What%26#039;s your take on it? Are they old enough?

Do your children have roller blades, roller sneakers, and/or Heeley%26#039;s?
I have three kids, 13-8-5


all have some sort of wheeled shoe contraption. Never seriously injured, but do be carefull. They all started with helmets and pads.


They recieved more injury from me yelling at them about not using the heelies in the house!





here are some injury prevention links and info.

Reply:My kids have had them, 13 and 9. They%26#039;re perfectly safe, just wear a helmet, and elbow pads and knee pads if you want to avoid those scrapes. Honestly, you can%26#039;t possibly be seriously injured from something like this, unless you jumped off a cliff with them.
Reply:I ABSOLUTELY hate these products - they are so unsafe not to mention annoying to other people. If they were used properly - outside instead of in the middle of a store or mall. I cannot tell you how many times I have almost been ran over by a kid wearing them, or seen a kid fall on his butt or head while using them. And if parents required the child to wear helmets when using them no matter what then they would be much safer. (oh, but that would not be cool, huh?)


Every time I see a kid using them I imagine that kid falling, cracking his/her head and then suing the company of the store they were in or the shoe company because the parents were stupid - and winning!!!


My kids are grown, but I know for sure if these were available when they were young, there is no way in hell that I would take that risk with their life and let them have them. My kids are WAY to important to me to let them have their way when I know it is unsafe.
Reply:Don%26#039;t give them a helmet

When purchasing roller blades, should they be ordered in the same size as normal shoes?

yes. same size. it%26#039;s best to try them on, but my Rollerblades are the same shoe size as i normally wear. it just depends on if you are going to wear thick socks for cushion, or thin socks. I%26#039;d be consistent with the thickness, if i were you. good luck! have fun!

mainly i just want to go fast for a long time. there are manny long bike paths in my city and well maintained.. hills are minor and if going fast enough can esily coast up them. ive tried on all pairs they all fit nicely and seem be nearly exact in weight... cant decide opinions / experiance also greatly appreceated.





-thank you

On Roller Blades witch is better 84 or 90mm wheels?
The size is just how big they are. I%26#039;d go for 90 so it is smoother riding over pebbles and cracks. Smaller wheels tend to get stuck rolling over that type of stuff.
Reply:90mm wheels will roll easier and faster than 84s.


There are also better replacement wheels for 90s.





90s are the wave of the future for fitness skates where 84s are an intermediate size that was the most common one between when 80s were the big wheels and 90s comming out.

What roller blades are better than others?

The two brands of inline skates that are generally better than the others in the recreation/fitness area are Rollerblade and K2. If you are into hockey, agressive, or racing, there are other brands that specialize in those sports.





The best ones are the ones that are for the type of skating that you want to do and fit you best. If the skates allow your feet to move around in them, they will not work well. They should feel snug all around your feet without smashing your toes.





Larger wheels and longer frames (the part that holds the wheels) are better for rolling over rough surfaces and speed.


Smaller wheels and shorter frames are better for manueverability and tricks.





Differences in bearings on any halfway quality skate are basicaly meaningless. Differences between wheel material (no way to tell without testing them) are much larger than differences in bearings.





Metal frames are better than plastic frames.

What roller blades are better than others?
Roller Blade is a specific brand of inline skates.





I would say the thing that separates the better inline skates is comfort and support (obviously,) if they are for recreation or a specific sport (ie. inline hockey,) type of wheels, and last but not least, the type of bearings.





Bearings are rated by the ABEC system, which is rated from 1-9. The ratings represent the level of tolerance when they are manufactured, so the the higher the tolerance or rating, the more you are going to pay.
Reply:yes all depends on wot u want to pay
