There are a lot of different factors in aggressive skates these days; soft boot vs. hard boot, freestyle vs. four wheel frames, cuff stiffness, etc. If he's never tried it before you can start him out with pretty much anything since he probably doesn't have a preference yet. I would definately suggest a four wheel frame though as it will be easier for him to learn. Following are a few online skate shops you can check out. Some good, affordable skates would probably be Razors or Rollerblade. Both with very good reputations and good price points.

Please, please, please stay away from places like Wal-Mart and Big-5. Most chain sporting good stores will over charge for skates and carry the worst (or most outdated) models out there.





If you have questions on particular skates, all of these shops have 800 numbers and would be happy to help. They're all skater operated so you should get good advice. I've been involved in the sport for 10 years now as well, so if you have questions, feel free to contact me.





Good luck!!!
