Some ROller Questions

My RBK 5K inlines are cut pretty wide.

If youre a bigger guy which im assuming you are. DEFINATELY invest in a harder compound wheel before you even think about going out on asphalt or any other outdoor surface.

1. Youll be flipping your wheels every other time you use them on a soft compound.

2. Rocks and cracks will literally mangle soft wheels

3. There's not a lick of give on the soft compounds and too much grip isnt good at all. Especially if youre transfering from ice.


Little guys may get away with using soft wheels outdoors, but for us heftier guys, dont even consider anything but hard compound.

The adjustment from one to the other definately takes some getting used to, but doesnt take long to get the hang of.

Like Lososaraus said, if youre ever up near Santa Clarita, come shoot around with us.

2) I was looking at the Mission Thorax Advantage to pick up. How much will that stretch around my small but respectable beer gut.

Lastly, what skates are good for someone with wide feet. I wear CCM 852 Tacks right now, but they don't make those for roller. Any ideas. This will be secondary to ice so nothing too pricey

I've always worn CCM inline skates... The best I've ever skated on and haven't looked back in about 10 years...
