lately i've been thinking about getting for me a pair of inline skates. basically i just wanna use it as a form of cardio exercise.. running is good, but you receive a lot of strain to your joints (especially knees) and since i weight about 235 lbs i don't want to damage my joints, cause i've been running more back in the days (preparing for a couple of marathons i've participated) and today sometimes i feel pain in my knees.. i know my meniscus is slightly damaged. so i guess inline skates would be a good choice, of course a bike would be aswell, but i want skates.
what would be some descent inline skates you could suggest, what would be a good bargain? perhaps any models? lately i've learned about "skikes" it's like off road inline skates, just 2 big wheels instead of regular 4 wheels in inline skates. skikes can be used as a replacement training for ski-running, involves a lot of muscles and is good for your heart. what do you think? share your opinion.

p.s. and yes, i'm not new to inline skates, as a teenager i used to have ones.

How tall are you?

You're a big dude, man. When big dudes fall...they fall hard.


There's several different ways of doing cardio aside from the old-fashioned running. If you're worried about your joints, ride a stationary bike or something.

I sprained my arm really bad when I was younger from skating, so I might be somewhat biased here haha.

i know, when a big body falls, it hurts much more, but as i've said i have no intentions of doing tricks with skates, just basic skating, sometimes long distance skating. riding the bike is not the same as running or skating. of course it's good, but stationary bike..i'm not feeling it.

Go for it, i'm assuming if you're already familiar with them you don't suck at skating. If thats the case you're not gonna fall unless its a freak accident. I used to love inline skating. Make sure you get hard wheels instead of soft wheels though.

lol it's so 80s.

I think the last time when I saw somebody inline skating was like.. 10 years ago

no wonder it's poland
and those inline skates were chinese production.. was like a fashion back in the days.. remember the same was in lithuania..
but i ain't chasing no fashion, just want to do it for my own good health.

When I did skate, I was more into the street/park side of it, so I don't know a lot about inline but ill do a lil research and get back to ya..
