Check out the explanation on this Video
This is one of the BIGGEST questions I get
“Coach Maria, what skates should I buy for my kid?”Or for adults: What Skates Should I Buy as a Beginner?
Let’s make it easy.
1. Choose Inline Skates (Not Roller Skates)
Inline skates give better stability, control, and progress.They are perfect for learning. and they are more fun hehehe
2. Look for These Features
Hard Boot
Adjustable size for kids
Secure buckles + laces
Smooth and small wheels (82A is ideal)
3. Brands I Recommend for Beginners
Rollerblade
Bont
Flying Eagle
You don’t need the most expensive pair — you need the right one.
4. Things to Avoid
❌ Toy skates from supermarkets
❌ Plastic wheels
❌ Skates with weak materials
These make learning harder and less safe.
5. Do I Need All the Gear?
YES. 100%.Helmet + wrist guards + knee pads + elbow pads.En mi academia, safety is non-negotiable.
