Things I love: My Rollerblade RB-10 Inline Skates

I love my skates.
Okay, although they don't look as appealing as brand new, these are my inline skates, RB-10 by Rollerblade. They're from Rollerblade's 2010 urban skates lineup, and I think they look pretty cool if you ask me. They have 90mm wheels, which means they are quite fast, and the boot is very sturdy on the outside, but comfortable on the inside. They are my first skates (let's not count the ones I had when I was 7) and, although they're not made for beginners, I'm quite sure they make skating a much more pleasant activity than other cheaper skates that I would have bought if it wasn't because these were the cheapest ones on my size.

I've bought them while I was working in a ski resort last winter in South Lake Tahoe, because of a great discount I had for working there. It was like a 60% discount or so in every Rollerblade product I wanted. I was also thinking about buying rollerskates for a while by then. So one afternoon, I got in my PC and after thinking too much about it, I ordered my RB-10s and a full set of protections. "What can I loose at this price?" I thought. It turned out that the outcome surpassed my expectations.

Now, every Tuesday and Thursday night, I gather with a bunch of people of all gender and ages and together we skate all around the city.

So, yeah. I love my skates.
