Hi!

So, I used to play hockey at school/uni, mostly on ‘banana’ rockered freestyle inlines.

Now I’m somewhat older - it’s been a while since I’ve been on blades, but I’ve regularly skated on ice, I would say I’m intermediate but more used to ice than tarmac.

My son is getting into in-line skating and I’d like to put on some wheels again so we can knock a puck about.

What would be a good (but not bank breaking) skate for me? I’d like a hockey stance but I’m thinking I might need something I can rocker (or just buy different wheel sizes I guess?).

Any suggestions hugely appreciated.

    I definitely will. So far I’m learning (I’ve been calling a lot of skate shops) that the HI-LO chassis of a typical hockey skate + rockering = not recommended unless you really know what you’re doing.

    I’m also learning that even lower end skates have come a long long way since my 1990s Bauers.
