Are both skates supposed to have a stopper on the back behimd the wheels? Only one skate has a stopper, and I was wondering if it is missing one.

Almost all pair of skates just have stoppers on the right foot even the professional ones. I don't know why, but that's the way they are!

Yes, they are only supposed to have one stopper. Most inline skates come with the stopper on the right side but can be moved to the left side if you determine that it's easier to use with the other foot. Stopping with both feet at the same time requires a lot of skill. Most skaters learn to stop with one foot and not the other.

As is uses inline skate wheels it works pretty much everywhere, where you would be able to enjoy a smooth ride with your skates too!Only problem: NO BRAKES! ...to keep your kid safe you should make sure the area is rather flat...

I'm not sure, but my son just turned 5 yesterday. He has tried the skates on twice so far and he still hasn't got the hang of it. He is a bit frustrated trying to figure it out.

It is really easy skates come with 2 extra bolts that are shorter in length for middle wheels. Just remove long rear bolt put 1 wheel and shorter bolt in back of skate and middle your done.

Unfortunately, these wheels are currently back ordered. Shoot us a direct Amazon message, and we'll send over a list of what's currently available for you. Thanks, -Jon

I bought this pair for my daughter but the figure skating instructors said this kind of skates are not very efficient because since they are adjustable the blade and the inside of the skate messes up with the balance of the skater. This was brought to my attention many times for different instructors so I gave them away and bought the white leather pair specific for figure skating. Hope this helped

The only place I have seen these are on amazon. There is a little button where the foot goes which is the brake. When you step on the skate, it lifts the brake and rolls, when you step off the skate it immediately releases the brakes which is awesome, since it won't go rolling away. My five year old loves this and so does my seven year old.

Mine didn't even come with wheels. I'm guessing it's one or the other. I would have liked wheels.

I didn't get one either. I requested an exchange and the second also came without a blade cover. No mention of cover on box or on the B&D website, so the description here is incorrect. No blade cover.

Both of my children have a pair of this brand of skates and neither one of them has ever taken them to the rink. They wear them inside the house sometimes but mostly outside on the sidewalks and street. Neighbor kids have worn them so they have gotten a lot of use for the past year! I imagine the wheels would be better if they were rink only but we didn't purchase them for that. We just wanted them to have a good skate and also had something to do OUTSIDE! :-)

I own both, and I bought them separately, months apart. My guess (and it's only a guess) is that product description trumps the photo. You may have to ask amazon.

I bought the 01W model that came with smaller wheels and replaced those with the heavy duty ones which had to be purchased separately. Because I was able to do this I know that the shaft for the regular wheels and the shaft for the heavy duty wheels have to be the same. 01 should be the same shelf, but without wheels included in the box. There might be something wrong with the shelf. I bought 3 shelves and had no problem attaching the wheels. BTW, the heavy duty wheels are great.

The skates where true to the picture. Black skates with blue wheels and red trim. Mostly black. Very nice. Try a different search. You may be able to get a better picture.

Yes Ann, it does. However, you must be careful at the time to make your purchase, because 2 out of the 5 units I purchased, had a diferent kind of wheel, a way poor quality wheels that doesn't run as smoothly as the other ones. The good ones have roller skates type wheels. If you desire to make your purchase, do not recieve other than those I described, otherway you'll be cheated. I haven't sent them back to the seller because I sent the items out of the country, and it was only till they got there that I notced about the wheels diferences, and bring them back to the States is way more expensive than getting a new one. Hope my answer may help you make your best purchase.

My unit did not come with wheels. However, I do think it is possible to order wheels from Whitmore because I have 2 other units (different sizes but same system) that do have wheels and they were optional for each of these units.

I just went and looked at the kids ripstiks and the bearings look like skate bearings. Without taking the ripstik wheels and bearings apart, it looks to me like the Labeda skate wheels should fit the ripstik.

When I purchased the wheels they came as a pair. Btw it is a pretty good gadget.
