Riedell 265 Wicked Womens Derby Roller Skates 2011 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The boot is great, a little overpriced here on Amazon seeing as most sites also allow for customization of the boot.
Anyway it takes a while to break in and you will need insoles if you wear them a lot(roller derby). The DynaPro plate simply sucks. I have been using it on my 265s for about a year and it is heavy and doesn't loosen well. I have changed bushings and loosened it up to allow more motion in the skate... no luck.
Protip: buy the boot and plates separate and have a local skate shop/rink mount them for you. Reidell has been messing up lately with mounting.

Built with one of the lightest & most durable plates on the market, equipped with slick ABEC-9 bearings inside Radar MoJo wheels, all attached to the smooth 265 boot... just how can something constructed so well be appropriately titled Wicked? The Wicked is the most popular skate in derby today. The classic two stripe design of Riedell's leather 265 boot recalls vintage derby skates while the lightweight extrusion of the PowerDyne DynaPro aluminum plate provides the elite performance demanded by the best derby players. The Wicked also uses 'Turbo' metal-hubbed Radar MoJo wheels that offer outstanding grip and great response in the turns for a skate that is truly wicked on the track. The Wicked from Riedell is a mixture of quality craftsmanship luring the skater who wants to excel above all others. Unfair advantage? Maybe. On the other hand, when was life fair? If you want to out-skate, outplay, & outlast the competition, this is your ticket to a sweeter wicked life. Features: Outsoles: Stitched & Cemented.

Rock Pink Flame Sonic Womens Speed Roller Skates Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used to skate when I was younger, and after quite a break, I've fallen in love with skating all over again. These skates are perfect for me!!! I have big wide feet, so having them in men's sizes worked out, and they are definitely perfect for wide feet! They're very comfortable and great in the rink! I haven't tried them outside or anything, and I don't do derby, but for rink skating they're perfect!! I recommend these definitely for anyone looking for something comfortable and attractive to skate in. Well made, and the flames are embroidered into the skate!

Hyper Dualies Quad Roller Skating Wheels 62mm 98A ORANGE Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm around 100lbs, so these wheels are pretty slick on the floors. I was hoping for more grippiness with the dual layers, but unfortunately, didn't get that. I'd recommend spending your money on some witch doctor hyper wheels instead.

Brand new, in the shrinkwrapper never been opened or used Hyper Dualies Dual-pour 62mm indoor quad roller skate wheels. This is a complete set of premium skate wheels in a 98A durometer. If you want top of the line--this is it. Here is what makes these wheels so special---most wheels are just one kind of urethane. The problem with that is that no one urethane is great for everything. What is going on here is a dual pour. Essentially it is a wheel within a wheel. One wheel is slightly softer and one is a bit harder. In addition, the outer urethane is impregnated with an additive for extra grip--you get the best of all worlds--hard enough to last a long time and be nice and fast, yet soft enough to give you excellent traction and a smooth ride--what more could you possible want?--they even look cool in a nice pumpkin orange color. It is certainly more costly to make wheels this way, but it is well-worth it and once you try them you'll never go back to old-fashioned ordinary wheels again.
