Whatever you do, don't buy cheap skates at WalMart or stores like that.  They will not be comfortable and will not last.  There are several variations of skates out there now with all kinds of different features.  For a beginner, I would probably recommend that you start off with a skate by Razors or Rollerblade.  Both have pretty low starting price points so you're not spending $300 right off the bat.  Both are also very comfortable and have quite a bit of grind space on the souls.  Some of the models you may want to check out are:\n\nRazors Cult\nRollerblade Downtown\nRollerblade Alpha\n\nThere are tons more skates out there, but those are quality skates you can get for under $200.  I've listed some online skate shops below you may want to check out.\n\nGood luck and I hope you stick with it!  And let me know if you have any questions.

There is the Charlotte Ice House in Charlotte (that should be pretty close) at the Eastland Mall. You could try that because usually every Ice House in NC has some sort of hockey association.

Just about anything is good enough for a beginner. There's no need to spend $150-200 on a board for someone who is just beginning. Go to your local skateshop. Most will have package deals on complete boards that are pretty generic but still a good board for a beginner.

try doing a people search thing, they have him listed at intelius.com but you have to pay like 30-60$ to get his address, e-mail, and #. by the way i think bam is hot and he is the best skater also. :)

Yup, that is how I learned. But it will definately be more fun to learn with someone else and you'll advance faster. But learning on your own is a good way to develop your own style. Sometimes when you watch people who have always skated with a crew, they all have the same style and do the same tricks. It's cool to see folks who are self taught because they usually have a unique style and way of doing things as they learned it all on their own.\n\nDefinately follow the other advice here and invest in some good pads, particularly wrist guards. Good luck and have fun.

To be honest I'm kinda out of the loop with the good skate brands these days but I've alwasy found that the guys at your local skate shop will know what's up. Talk to one of them, if they are cool they will hook you up with what you need to know. If they aren't cool and throw attitude well, they suck and go to the next shop. Good luck and have fun.

If you want quality skates (skates for jumps and spins) you'll have to spend a little money. Finding a good used pair is key. Ebay has a good selection at times and iceskatingworld.com has a classified section.

No, you're not too late. \n\nThe link below contains amateur clubs and speedskating clubs. I'd contact them by email directly and ask them if they know of any rinks that have training sessions in your area and see if they can help you out in any way. Good luck! It's never too late to dream :)
