Rollerskates! (for an adult ;))

Spring has arrived in Portland and while I love my bicycle, I'd like to revisit my roller-skating days! Has anyone purchased a pair of skates they love?

Yes! Impala skates - I got them for my 18 year old. A little spendy but really good quality and lots of cute options.

I second Impala as well as Angel Skates are great starter pairs - fit well and not too pricey.

This thread has me curious... where do you guys skate? In Seattle I don't really see people skating in the neighborhoods. Are you going to dedicated parks?

Haha! Good question Liz Pearce! Portland is uhm, eclectic so I do see people skating in my neighborhood. But we also have Oaks Park Roller Rink which is like entering a roller skating time machine!

Liz! We have an active indoor and outdoor skate community here! Check out @seattle_skates on instagram! I also love watching @faeiryne's videos on IG. She is so fun! I can't wait to meet the community in person when it's safe to hang again!
