What kind of quad roller skates should i buy?

i do skating on rough pavements and sidewalks, but i do go to skate parks too. would like some which are a good fit and have speed but a good brake too. i dont like the boots and i prefer the shoe/trainer kind of ones but i also want a jumpbar too, cross bar the thing which enables you to go along bars and things. thanks


and no unhelpful answers like i dont know or something because thats just annoying thanks

What kind of quad roller skates should i buy?
Street skating and park skating are best suited to slightly different equipment. For street skating, it's nice to have some big, soft wheels that are super smooth, absorb all the bumps and are fast like the Kryptonics Route 70mm, whereas you will probably prefer smaller and maybe harder wheels for parks (some people even like speed wheels like Flatouts for parks).





As for skate boots - it depends on your preference, your foot and your budget. Some people like a hockey-boot style skate, some prefer a cheaper low boot (i.e. the Carrera), some like a speed-recreation hybrid (like the Riedell 265).





Also, grinding on a jump bar may not be such a good idea - as they are meant to absorb shock from jumps, not to apply direct pressure against - you risk pinching your truck bushings in weird ways. Get in touch with rollergirl.ca - they have developed grind bars for quad skates (and are in the process of developing a new generation of them).
