If you want quality skates (skates for jumps and spins) you'll have to spend a little money. Finding a good used pair is key. Ebay has a good selection at times and iceskatingworld.com has a classified section.

i haven't skated many blanks but i thought the blank decks from www.ccs.com are really good. they're cheap and they're really light. i dont know about durability though but i liked the one i skated.

Tony Hawk is probably the coolest skater alive. He's the one who invented the 900, which is one of the most difficult tricks to pull out. Besides he's what, 35 or so, and still skating...

Not really. You can only see so much figure skating before it gets boring, and it will be on a lot. Speed skating and skeleton are pretty interesting though.

my favorite trucks are tensor lows. but it depends on what type of skating you do. if you skate transitions or QPs and stuff like that, i'd say fury.for street: tensors, they have that slider piece for better nose and tail slides. and if you skate street you probably want lows. it feels smooth and lets you land easier.

I don't think you can you can make a chart.but we never buy them,we just download them from the internet :p.I love rodney mullen's style...freestyle...all the skaters I know are street skaters,so it also depends on your skate style taste.\n:)

Figure skating: because it's a perfect blend of athleticism and artistry. (At least when I'm watching it. Not so much when I'm doing it.)

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!

I would suggest a Riedell boot.  You can purchase one with blades for around $150.  Be sure to get the boots fitted properly from a reputable individual (check with local rinks in area).  \n\nHave the blades sharpened prior to skating and should be sharpened about every 3 months or so.  If the skater is on the ice more than 4 days a week, blades will probably need to be sharpened about every 2 months.  Blades should be wiped down with a cotton cloth after every time you skate.  A old dishtowel works great!\n\nDon't go into more expensive boots/blades (SP Teri, Harlick, etc.,) until skater is at least landing an axel and starting with double jumps.\n\nTX Skating Coach

you need to be flexible, and have good leg strength. most fig. skaters have lots of muscle in their legs.
