I've spent THOUSANDS on roller skates to find what BEGINNER roller skaters NEED
Over the last 15+ years I've spent thousands of pounds on roller skates and associated equipment... maybe it's a bit shocking, but cheaper than a road bike! Like any keen hobbyist, I wanted something affordable but decent when starting out . From Beginner, through intermediate and advanced skating, it's a continuous line... we are not suddenly one day ADVANCED. it's slow and steady growth. that means your equipment needs will change over time So if you are ready to get started, let's go! The skates below come with an online course and skate strap! Here is my pick https://www.theskatesanctuary.co.uk/product-page/rookie-artistic-roller-skates chapters: 00:00 Intro 03:10 Moxi Jack 1 boots 08:20 Moxi Beach Bunny 09:18 WIFA skates 11:18 Am I bragging? 13:00 Wheel preferences 14:45 Rookie Artistic skate
