The best places and best deals are usually online since our sport seems to be fading from retail.  Here are a couple online stores that have good deals.  Depending on where you live, some can ship to you pretty quickly...\n\nhttp://www.aggressivemall.com\nhttp://www.rollerwarehouse.com\nhttp://www.inlinewarehouse.com\nhttp://www.skatepile.com\nhttp://www.revolutionskate.com\nhttp://www.intuitionskate.com\n\nAnd if you're looking for advice on brands, here are some that you might want to look at:\n\nRemedyz (Remz)\nRazors\nRollerblade\nXsjado\nValo\n\nJust a couple suggestions...good luck and stay with it!

Different brands of skates fit differently.\n\nI'd go for fit first, brand second.  I'm skating on a pair of low-end Vapors and they're fine.\n\nAs with sticks, skates are a fairly personal thing, and every skate has its own characteristics.  I'm a fast skater, and my current Vapors pitch me forward just a little -- it's less good for when I'm playing D and doing a lot of backwards skating, but when I'm playing forward and really going all out to skate fast, that foot angle is great.\n\nAmong the Vapors there's difference in quality, too.  Mine were cheap and you can tell... the rivets rusted out fast, and the blade steel is low quality... it rusts fast and needs sharpening oftener than my old pair of skates.  I'm hoping to change the blades out this winter.  The rust I can live with.  Keeps my laces tight.   :D

You need better bearings.  ABEC rates there skate (roller-hockey) bearings from 1-9, 1 being the worst, 9 being the best. As far as I have seen, RB and SB bearings are the same size, I could be wrong though.\n\nAs a general rule of thumb, the more expensive, the better.\n\nIn other words, you're not gonna find them at Dick's or Wal-Mart, so the price will be genuine.\n\nGo to a hockey store and ask the guy working there.  Chance are he's not gonna be the shlub you'll find at Dick's durin the holiday season, he'll actually know what he's talking about.\n\nEither that or..... google it.... shhhhhhhhh..... you'll find what you need.

Sorry, but that's just the nature of the beast.  If you're taking slappers a lot, you going to break sticks a lot.  If you refuse to use a one piece carbon outside, then try a second-hand stick.  In my town we have several "Play It Again Sports" and a couple "Second Skate".  Something like this is probably your best bet.  You'll find plenty of mid-grade sticks - mostly wood, some aluminum, a few carbon.  The PIAS by my house gets about 3-5 one-piece sticks per month.  They generally go for about 60% of their original price.\n\nBut I think your biggest challenge with a used stick is finding one with a Shanahan blade.  There aren't too many players out there that like the "S" shaped curve and high lie.  Maybe stick with an aluminum shaft and replace the Shanahan blades when you need to.\n\nIf all else fails, Easton makes an entry level one-piece called "Easton One".  The intermediate runs about $75.  If you like getting your stuff online, try http://www.icewarehouse.com/  They always seem to have decent prices.

Try going to Play it Again Sports or a store like that and find a pair of used skates and experiment with what kind of skates that feel comfortable. \nRegular skate sharpenings will keep the edge on your skates.

pretty much any board will do it just depends on your preference.  I mean if you have big feet say size 12 or larger then you will want one atleast 8" wide otherwise maybe one 7.75" wide will do.  Your best bet is to find your local skate shop..not a mall or mail order...skate shop and ask them to help you pick something out because they should know whats best for you.  I myself skate a shop board from buffalo, ny because you can get a complete with decent trucks for $99 plus tax....so feel free to check out www.sundayskatebmx.com to find a phone number and call and im sure they would ship a shop board out for you if you got a credit card to order (sunday decks are $43 w/ grip).  Just support your local shop not some dude at the mall who doesnt know anything or care anything about skateboarding.

my favorite shoe brands are DC and eS. As for skateboards you need trucks bearings wheels bolts griptape and a deck to make a complete board... for trucks i suggest independant, they last forever... just make sure you NEVER NEVER EVER get royal trucks, just from minor skating mine snapped in lik 8 places. for bearings um, it doesnt matter too much, bones swiss are the fastest but the most expensive. wheels, anything, i get 53mm not too small, not too big but it seems people buy smaller. bolts are just screws they dont matter. griptape i ride Iron Horse, just dont get a blank brand for griptape, theyr no good.... Jesup and Black Magic are good brands too. ok and for Decks, or the actual board part, they are all basicly the same, element and zero are good, so is blind, and i guess try anything except girl, i hate those boards... some other companies i can think of are enjoi, flip, almost, darkstar, mystery, baker, alien workshop (i HEARD that these were the best)....... well for myself i ride blanks, i go through boards alot so i cant afford a $50 deck, buy from blankdecks.com, they make the best ones
