favorite skates you've had

Recommended Posts

did anyone ever have the pump tack skates?

My wife did. She was enamored with the whole pump deal. She pumped the old billy bejeezus out of them every time she used them and ended up giving herself plantar fascitis (sp?). Got rid of those for a pair of Micron Mega Air 90's. She still has them, although she hasn't worn them much the last number of years with kids being born and all. She says they're the best skates she's ever had.

I think the closest I have come to perfection has been my S500s. Still needs some tweaking however. It's funny - I can find the perfect skate for anyone, just not for me.

so many to choose from...it almost requires a bracket..

but in the end tis the Micron Mega 10-90 when they first came out...drove 5 hours up to Cupolo's because they got them in first, well at least within 5 hours of me..haha...

runnerup: 7000's I've been on the past 3-4 years, although its time to retire them and I'm not sure what's next on the horizon, 6000's or 8090's i'd think

I love my 8090s...great fit for me. I also liked the Synergy skates when I tried them. Very good technology...a lot of potential.

Its means there is no relevance to your post. Did you want to see the skates? They are his favourites, not yours, so why is it important? Just think "why" before you post. They were old Micron skates, which then shifted to Bauer as the Air 90's. With Microns they were primarily white with black. If I got any of that information wrong, go ahead and correct me. I haven't seen the skates since I was a little guy and they didn't have my size :(

My CCM 852 Tacks as they're the first skate I ever owned that actually fit properly.

Now don't get me started on my life of skates that never fit. Anyone have a tissue as I have a tear forming in my eye....I could have been a contender, if only I had skates that fit... :(

Favorite skates for me are my Bauer Supreme 3000's. Got them the first model year they were out and I still skate on that same pair.

I bought a pair of Synergy's earlier this year and after a month and a half of 6+ hours a week of skating, I sold them. I kept hoping I would get used to them but it never happened.

Earlier this week I picked up a pair of Bauer 6000's and they feel pretty good. They have a tough act to follow after my trusty 3000's...

My best friend is currently skating on Micron Mega 90's. He bought them new, wore them for half a season and quit playing. After a 10+ year break he has started playing again. The power clips got brittle with age and snapped on both skates, but otherwise they are pretty mint.

Look like roller blades I had when I was 6 or 7... must have been some of the first crossover stuff I guess. It's kind of interesting sorting out all of this equiptment that is older than I am (16).
