What do you think about this secondhand RB?

​Right now, I own a pair of fitness softboot skates that were gifted to me and left unused until recently (FILA Master DF Lady) They aren't too worn out (the wheels are maybe about halfway through) so I was planning to use them up completely before upgrading.

​But I just came across a secondhand pair of RB Pro X skates that have barely been used and were originally bought in November 2025. They sell them for 170€ (I was planning to offer a little bit less, maybe 150)

​I don't have a preference for any specific skating discipline yet. I mostly would use them for taking classes and practicing at an intermediate level (little jumps, a bit of backwards skating and turns, I'll be starting to slide in a couple of months)

Do you think my basic skates will do the job while I improve, or should I try to upgrade as soon as possible?

Should I wait until I know what type of skating I'm more into?

-And especially:

Is this a good offer? (I'm in Europe)

Thank you!

My urban setup

USD SHADOWS and ground control 110mm tri frames. I wanted a big wheel skate with the convenience of shoe slip in. Gets me to and from the bar.

Big wheel skaters, what hardness do you skate?

What hardness? How much do you weigh? What size shells? What size wheels do you skate?

Also unrelated: What do you guys think of these frames where the front wheel is set forward like mine? Is that design helpful for some reason? I wonder how it compares to equal spacing in terms of feel and wheel wear pattern.

Some pictures of my wheel wear. These were 100mm at one point. I rotated them at least 4 or 5 times in their lifetime. I let them be rockered recently and they're super fun like that. Still working for taking dogs around the block we'll see how many more laps I get.

Are these skates good enough for city skating in Sarajevo?

Hi everyone!

I’m looking to upgrade my inline skates. I’m currently using an older pair that I bought around 5/6 years ago, and I recently came across these on sale.

I’d really appreciate advice from people with more experience: are these skates good enough for skating around Sarajevo, considering the sidewalks, uneven asphalt, hills/downhills, and general road conditions?

I’m mostly interested in casual/fitness skating around the city, not aggressive skating or tricks. Also, if you have recommendations for a better model, wheel size/hardness, or a reliable place to buy quality skates, I’d love to hear them.

Thanks in advance!

Rollerblade RB Pro X vs Rollerblade RB 80 W, worth paying more?

Hi!

I’m trying to choose between the RB Pro X and the RB 80 W.

From what I’ve read, the main differences seem to be the wheels, bearings, and frame quality.

I’m a woman, 34 years old, 1,60cm, 52kg

I already know how to skate, I started when I was 6, but I haven’t skated in years.

I mainly want to skate in parks and maybe learn a few tricks/manoeuvres again. I’m not a beginner, just getting back into skating after a long break.

For this kind of use, do you think the Pro X is worth the extra money, or is the RB 80 W enough?

Thanks!

Help recommend a poor girl a new pair of blades

Hello buddies, i recently went to pull my blades out from storage and found that during cleanup from a flood, my boyfriend had shoved them in a bag and let them sit without telling me :(. Well, now i’m here to replace them on hopefully his dime. I don’t remember the most recent pair I bought, lowk didn’t like them the best, but i’m absolutely torn up about the loss of my Blade Runner Pro 2500’s. I loved them so much and I remember them being incredibly comfortable and incredibly supportive in the ankles specifically (which is big for me). I would thoroughly appreciate it if someone could help by recommending a more modern pair that is comparable, i’ll be forever in ur debt.
