might want to look into replacing the bearings. not a hard job to do, but well worth it.

K2 is one of the few companies who makes both bicycles and skies, Scott is the only other one I can think of. They just bought a crap ton of sports companies in the 90's and most flopped.

I tried my hand, or foot, at blading, and it never was quite for me. Between my weak ankles and the knowledge that you can’t bail it just seemed like a recipe for pain. Not that skateboarding isn’t, board sports just come more naturally to me. Same thing on snow, I can snowboard but I can’t ski to save my life.

You could also get a K2 branded Jetta in the 90s, it came with a rooof rack, 5 spoke wheels, and some really coo seats. My 5th grade teacher had one.

i was never an extreme/stunt/trick skater. Skateboarding I was even worse. Always been a mountain biker. I broke a wrist blading. I went down a hill and was going thru the curve at the bottom when I hit some sand and slid out. My wrist at least blocked my face from smashing on the ground.

My first, and ONLY pair of Rollerblades:

Kinja'd!!!

A bunch of my friends bought them and we terrorized the campus our freshman year. The first upgrade was a set of wheels with decent bearings.

The last time I saw them, the plastic was getting brittle and started breaking off along the edges.

Holy crap. Are those the first rollerblades ever designed?

I think so. This happened in the late ‘80s....
