New Article: 2007 Holiday Buyer's Guide

Posted: 2007-11-17 23:13:54

Hey everyone,

Jeff just put a new article online covering the different skates available for the holidays, complete with pics of all the skates.

2007 Holiday Buyer's Guide

My question is, if you needed new skates, and could only pick from the ones in the article, which ones would you get? Personally, I'd like to try the JJ Velcroes, never skated Valos before and I like the way they look.

  just from the valo "commercial" the valos look great.
  
  I saw the Hyser skating DT4's w/ point 8 souls at hoedown. He was rocking old school Fatboys. I haven't seen wheels that big since Chris Edwards still had a career in skating. Where is Heavy when you need them.
  
  For me I think I would try USD agian. Not the rachards though some ufs thrones (not on list).

    Oh man, I've wanted to pull out my old DL thrones and make them go again for a while -- those were some of the best skates ever... I just need ufs adapter plates and new liners...

  Law, I'm with you on the JJ Velcro -- but I still really like Remz and after Patricks comment about the old Thrones -- tough tough choice... Still as long as I can roll around I'll be pretty happy - I could even go back to the old Roces MOWs i had. haha
  
  well, maybe not... but as long as the skates would stay together, the old Thrones were good.

    The best skates I had, defined by how well I skated while in them, were my pre-UFS Thrones. Large old school Fifty50 frames, in yellow I think, with UHMW Juice System baseplates. I loved those skates.

What is Rollerhome All About?

We love rollerblading and like many of you, we live on the web. There are a lot of places where rollerblading and the web mix, but over the years we realized something was missing. Most of the websites are just blogs with a forum, which is fine if that's all you want, but there's so much more that can be done.

Rollerhome was designed to give you everything you could ask for in a rollerblading community. We've been doing this stuff since before Google registered google.com. Yeah, that long. We've seen what works and what doesn't, what people want and what they don't want.

We want this to be your site, your home online. If you have any suggestions on how we can make it better, please let us know in the forums.
