    I used to roller blade quite a bit when I was younger. I want to start again but start doing tricks and stuff. I need to know about makes and manufacturers.

    Which are the best skates to get for tricks? I don't want ordinary skates, one's that are good for tricks.

    Thanks,

    Timans

    Give clive a ring at skatecity in temple bar, he should be able to give you some advice, and he does stock blades

    I would recomend USD thrones, They are really nice to skate, and i think they are around €180! If your only starting to skate aggressive then i'd reccomend RollerBlade TRS Downtowns! they are around €120! And not bad!

    I've heard Skate City is overpriced. Are there any other places I could get rollerblades? (though I don't want them for tricks n stuff)
    And how much are helmets and the knee and wrist things?

    Fridge, I don't think you'll find much if any difference in clives and elsewhere in Dublin. Best option would be to order off an online shop if the price is right I reckon.

    NO, anarchy's are HORIBLE to skate, Never buy them! I'd recomend Rollerblade TRS downtowns!

    Off Grindhouse

    They charge p&p of €10 no matter what you buy, And also they Run on COD (cash on delivery) So you dont need a credit card!
