I bought a pair of mission wm02’s that are basically brand new and can fight with seel to return them or sell them. They were $310 (size 6) if anyone knows a place besides eBay or sideline sports I’d appreciate it! Thanks!
Hey kings and queens,
I recent bought my first pair of inlines in a UK size 10 Bauer XR, after returning an older model in a 10.5 because they felt too big and dangerously insecure at the ankles.
Now I love my XR's and they feel much better than the prior skates. But it still feels like my ankles could go one way or the other when I step. I can accept that I might have weak ankles ('wankles' I call 'em), but is it worth trying a 9?
I have tried on the 9 and 10 in the shop and at the time the 10's felt perfect in the foot itself (about 1"-1.5" toe wiggle room). But now I'm feeling insecure with no frame of reference.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, as I'm not really sure how they're 'supposed' to feel. Thanks a lot!
I have been out of the game for a little while but slowly getting back into it. My last set of wheels were Revision Variant Gold & Platinums. I just ordered the new Rinkster USA Edition wheels. At first I thought they were just splits with a new graphic but according to the description they are a brand new wheel. What’s everybody’s thoughts on these?
Hi boys and girls, i don’t wanna be boring ill try to tell yall a quick story.
I am 24yo and for the first time in my life i have a chance to start in a small german inline hockey team.
From experience i know how to skate pretty good, BUT i cant power slide or skate backwards so im not gonna say pretty good, basic, also about bit stick handeling.
This team has a lot of groups First team Second, juniors and on, and there is this group called Elite or Hobby groups, older people traing just for fun.
The team said try with them, but u will need gear. So i cant even try how im gonna feel even tho i know im gonna love it, but i have to buy full gear to start, wich is not a problem but what IF id doesent go as planned.
Anyway i just wanna see what yall think i dont need some YES men, i wanna know how many of yall started late in life and stuff like that is there a place for actually being good at this age, and im not saying so pro stuff good but a solid player for amatur league, i have the money love discipline and nerve to give this a 100% but i dont know if its worth it. THANK YALL.
I'd like to have more comfort/cushioning under the sole of my foot.
Ive used these bauer vapors for a while now am in need of new skates ive been looking at the bauer supreme f30s and the bauer vapor fly30s i was wondering if anyone knows which one would be the better and if i should try the supremes
Hello guysss, i just created an account here because of this lol (and pls dont mind my grammar errors english isnt my first language) Idk which stick would be better for me. im new in hockey and where I live hockey is just uncommon. i have two options at the moment: Fischer RC ONE INT F65 or Bauer I3000 SR 59" (edit: or the JR one?), I'd read that the height and weight are important sooo🫠, im 162 cm and weight 63kg I think. in the club/sports complex where im going has two rinks, the outdoor one (thats why i choose this bauer cus it is for street hockey?) and an indoors one which we share with the handball players.
Let me know which would u choose thankss🙏🏼

I’ve heard mixed things about current cele’s for my use case I think these will work. Interested in what you guys think.
I am a very experienced ice hockey player, and a strong power skater on ice. I wear Bauer supreme fit 3 currently. Ive never played much inline hockey. I there in first grade before ice hockey and played a session in the summer in 6th grade just to be on a buddy’s team who didn’t play ice, then after ice ended in high-school I subbed in on friends rec team maybe 4 times.
I plan to use these on outdoor smooth asphalt rinks near my house. Thats kinda it for now maybe in the future join a team but who knows. I wanted these just to skate around and work with the puck at those outdoor rinks inbetween ice games. After I bought them I started hearing pretty bad stuff about QC on current cele’s and was little worried while waiting for delivery. These look like they are in good shape.
I don’t know anything about wheels. These are 76a. Is that good on asphalt? Or should I get something else? My thought was to wear them out and replace when needed or get better indoor wheels if I ever need them.
For the way I’m using them I don’t want anything expensive I was back and forth on these and mission fs02. Went with these because inline warehouse said they accommodate wider feet. These are very wide but feel comfortable so far. May add a thicker/better insole to limit any negative space.
Any feedback is appreciated.
So I know that neck guards are mandatory for ice but I'm wondering if there is a need for any neck protection for inline. Reason I ask is because if a puck were to hit either your throat area or the back of your neck pretty sure it could have dangerous consequences 🤔 I'm pretty sure a puck to the next could result in a SCI
The Sharp Shack, a business specializing in inline conversions, skate repairs, etc. posted this table comparing chassis on their IG earlier this year. Helpful tool in my opinion.
I(31F) have been playing for a little longer than a year now, and need some advice. I play twice a week. I have thrown up before when I first started playing, but I was hoping it would stop as I played more, and it did until recently. This month, I have thrown up once every other game, if not every game. I can get myself off the floor and to a trash can before I blow chunks, thankfully. But I would like to stop vomiting, if I can. No way I'm just doomed to vomit every game, right?
I think I can blame it on a few factors, like the heat, or maybe I'm drinking too much water in between my shifts? Just straight up skating too hard? I'm leaning towards endurance because I don't do any training. I sometimes make it to an outdoor rink to skate and shoot, maybe do a pushup or two. What are exercises you do to help with your endurance? Or any other advice that could help me here?
So I moved away from a place that was a half mile from my local ice house out of state to where the nearest sheet is 90 minutes away. I tried to fight it, but nothing that could be done. The new town does have a pretty active outdoor roller hockey group. I’m thinking about getting in with them but I have some serious questions.
I have a set of older pads and gloves I was going to use for roller. Just get the pad slider plastic pieces and I should be good, right?
I’m guessing all the other gear will work. Then a set of goalie roller skates and that’s it.
Really in the dark here. Any help would be appreciated.
First pair of full composite skates. Hyperlite2 ice boots, Rinkster Sniper chassis, Rinkster Splitster xxx grip wheels, Rinkster Golden Sniper bearings.
Has anyone tried these wheels out? I have used the factory CCM wheels 76a and wore them out after 15 games. I switched to Rinkster Ghost xx 79a and while I love them they wore out after 10 games.
Hopefully with the up tick in hockey in my town they will resurface it soon. But as of right now, it’s paint concrete (the tennis court paint) and the it’s pitting and cracked every wear.
anyone in here from Dallas Texas? I just wanted to see if anyone could give and information about this place? I’ve called no answer I got on there Facebook post are from almost a year or two ago. But my main concern is are they able to a Hockey skate conversion to roller?
Just getting back into hockey as an adult (10 year break) and not sure where to buy equipment. I remember back in the day ordering some stuff from hockey tron or hockey monkey, but don't really remember what the most reliable/go-to spots are or if they've changed over the years. Please let me know what y'all recommend!
This is a re-alkt 65 with a Bauer profile III Oreo (both size small) . I can’t seem to get the right helmet cage combo down. This one looks ridiculous on me, right? I love all the features of the Bauer profile three. But the fir is funny as hell on me. Can yall help with some suggestions?
I know I know. don’t have any cage hang going right for the sake of figuring out what’s going to fit. It looks especially funny from the front like the cage looks way too wide for the helmet.
Anyone run different size wheels in the blades to help transitioning to skating backwards also I am wondering if I should get wheels that a better harder for more traction but I heard if your a bigger guy like me that won’t work?
