I'm converting my old rink quad skates to outdoor roller skates.

instead of changing the ball bearings, it would be more effective and convenient to change the whole bearing.  abec 5's are good bearings, and i would recommend them.  to change the bearings, unbolt the wheels, and pop the bearings out, stick the new ones in, and bolt the wheels back on.

Me and my kids all play hockey, or at least my kids that are old enough to walk play, so needless to say I'm no stranger to looking and purchasing hockey equipment.  A couple of my favourite places to look are Hockey Giant, Great Skate & Peranis.  They usually have some pretty good deals and excellent quality equipment.  Check them out:\n\nhttp://www.HockeyGiant.com\nhttp://www.GreatSkate.com\nhttp://www.Peranis.com\n\nAlso, if you're looking for slightly used skates and aren't really as worried about quality as you are price, I suggest looking on ebay.  Especially at the end of the seasons lots of people sell their old skates that they don't want or don't fit anymore.  \n\nI would recomend looking at a Bauer or CCM skate.  They're very nice looking and well made and I like the fits of both the CCM and the Bauer.  If you want to go more high-end, then you may want to look at a Mission skate.  I would never look at a Mission skate for ice hockey but they are a well-known and a major roller hockey skate maker.  Many of their skates are very expensive so I like to stay away from them.  Also, I wouldn't catch myself dead looking at a Nike skate, they're poorly made and too expensive for what they are.  You may look at the Eastons but I'm not much a fan of the company for hockey - roller or ice.  But go look at the Bauer and CCM skates, I'm sure you'll find something you'll like.  Good luck finding the right ones!

If you honestly can't tell the difference between boards I would go for one of those plastic boards that you can strap onto your sorels. They are about $15 at the hardware store.\n\nThis is not the time of year to be getting good cheap new gear, but try a local ski swap and try to find some used boots/bindings. Then at the end of the season get a pair of new boots 40% off. I really like burton boots/bindings. I just got a Rome deck and I'm loving it.\n\nPalmer sucks. I hope Sean Palmer burns in hell for making crappy decks.

This is gonna sound funny, but it's not. There is a park in the South Hills called South Park. There is a 2 mile bike path all along the main road [flat], and walking trails [hills] throughout the park. Perfect place to rollerblade. I live 5 minutes away and that's where we always go to blade. They even have a deck hockey rink for public use if your into playing hockey while rollerblading.\nHave Fun.

it's probably possible, but start off with the basics and focus on breaking the skates in. after if you can't do your one foot spin, try something else unless you HAVE to do it. otherwise, do another move. maybe one foot spins and work your way up. contact your local rink.(i've been skating since i was four so i should know)

figure skates are easier to learn on.

call your local waste authority to see where you can take idems like that.  There are usually several businesses around that will take older hardware and make it new for other people in need to use.  It was very nice to think about something like that. :D

Get a roll of construction plastic, it's available at Home Depot.  Do not use the kind from the pain department, it is too thin.\n\nUnroll it and unfold it  on as flat a surface as u can.   It should end up being about 10 feet wide by whatever length you wish.  If it is too small you can add a second later.\n\nFirst, you'll need some snow to pile around under the edges so that the outsides are higher than the rest of it.  Then hose it down, (fairly thin).  It will freeze overnight, NOW you can add a second sheet of plastic beside the first one (if you try to do it all at once then the water will seep through the seam).  \n\nRepeat the first step with a thin amount of water.  The thinner the water, the quicker it will freeze.  Believe it or not, the HOTTER the water the faster it freezes.  \n\nContinue with layers of water, only a little at a time.  It will probably take about a week before you can skate on it.\n\nEnjoy!

Most sports stores sell rollerblades.  Try them on there for a good fit before you buy them online.
