Skate is a great skateboarding game. The skateboarding genre of video games has had one major game for many years now. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater has been really the only skateboarding game worth while. Skate changes all of that. Skate takes the genre in a new direction, it tries to offer a more realistic approach to skateboarding games. Most of this is an illusion given by the very innovative ...

I bought both of my boys a pair of these about 6 months ago. I was kind of afraid of spending that much on shoes. But they had really been wanting them, and need new shoes anyways.They have held up very well. Most shoes don't last them that long. But they still almost like new. At this rate the will out grow the size before they wear out. It only took them about 48 hours to figure out how t...

Skate is a brand new game made by EA, famouse for it's series of sports games including Madden, NCCA, NBA, and NHL. EA decided to make a high quality skate game to finally compete with the Tony Hawk franchise. But instead of going for the "over the top" feel, EA went with a more realistic approach. You start out as a typical skater and work your way up to become sponsered, make mo...

I bought these skates as a gift for someone who loves to skate.  They have lasted and have been something which she has enjoyed and has had tons of fun using.They have proved to be durable.  I would recommend these skates for anyone who loves to skate.  They are worth the money.  They are affordable and well designed.  They have all the features which provide my daughte...

I purchased the Barbie Multi-Size Inline Skate as a Christmas gift for my daughter 2 years ago. It was a great deal because Toys 'R Us was having a clearance and I got them for $9.99. My daughter loved using these skates. I purchased the Small size (10/11/12) for her since she was wearing size 11 at the time.  It has and adjustable liner and boot, buckle closure, padded liner with a fl...

I haven't skated since I was a child, and the skates that I used then were nothing like these!Technically, I guess these are categorized as 'recreational' or 'training' skates which is towards the lower range of inline skate options, but these are plenty good for me!They are attractive and very comfortable.  The laces, straps, and buckles seem to provide very good ankle...

Just about anything having to do with ducks brings a smile to my face, That's why when I found these winter/holiday ducks at a Hallmark shop last year, I had to buy them. They brought a huge smile to my face and I knew I'd regret it if I left them behind. The ducks are made of wood and are well painted. The colors are bright and cheery. I love the stocking caps on the babies and the pre...

Skate, a new skateboard simulation game from EA, has been nicknamed "the anti-tony hawk" by many people in the gaming community.  The game itself presents skateboarding in a much more realistic fashion when compared to the Tony Hawk video game series.The game has great graphics but the true appeal lies in the dual-analog control system that the game uses.  It is harder to pu...

   I bought these for my son about 2-3 years ago when he was around the age of 3. I liked the idea that they would grow with him and hopefully he would learn how to inline skate pretty well. They adjust with the child, the size of them and the style of the wheels. The kids wear shoes underneath them which is my only complaint, at almost 5 now and wearing a size 10 toddler shoe it is h...

Although being fairly new to the sport of inline skating, I knew from the second I put on these boots that they were of great standards. The weight of the boots is something that really stands out with the K2 Cirrius Inline Skate, I can barely feel the difference from my bare foot with this on, no joke! The cool design is also something that struck me when I first saw this boot, it really is wh...

These inline pair of skates are great. They are awesome and extremely comfortable. Normally with any pair of skates I would always get blisters at the back of my heels. Not with these skates though. I've had lots of skates in my time but these are by far the best well almost. They are awesome though. They're really comfortable and I love them the most because of the design. The design i...

Skate is a brand new and innovative skating game with features and aspects like no other skating game. It is one of the first skating games that has been serious, unlike Tony Hawk games where your objective is to collect the S-K-A-T-E icons or ollie a panda. In Skate you start of basically as a nobody and have to enter tournaments and make magazine front covers to get paid and buy new gear...

The day of Tony Hawk is officially over. Skate is now the champion of skateboard video games. Let's face it - we all know that Tony Hawk had his day in the sun and we've all been pretty sick of his games for a while. Well, skating fans, I feel your pain. As someone who has atrocious balance when walking, let alone riding a skateboard, I find it necessary to live out my skater fantasies ...

LL Bean has been creating quality outdoor gear, and wear for years. These skates are the best that I have used and are a favorite in the family. Each of the kids have the boys skates - and I have the Womens. They look like shoes, with blades! They are warm and comfortable - and nowhere close to the plastic skates that have been available in previous years. The lining is cozy on your foot, but I...

I have always been into skating as my parents sent me to skating classes from my fifth year itself. It is very exciting feeling to move around so easily and traveling so fast and covering the distances which take long time to cover while walking. I do inline skating every Saturday morning to burst the stress. Recently I bought Rollerblade men's inline skates and they are the best inline ska...

I purchased Skate 2 for about sixty dollars after trying the demo. Personally I think that the game is great. The games story line does not really tie in with the first skate game. I like the game because it is more challenging then the tony hawk series I used to play. Instead of a button smashing trick game like tony hawk, it is uses more of the joy stick to pull off tricks. Me being a basketb...

I recently attended a birthday party at the Crystal Palace Skating Center on Rancho Drive in Las Vegas. This spot is a great family fun location. The admission was a little more expensive than I expected, but the rink was well cared for and large. While the rink is well cared for, the price of admission would lend one to believe the nicks and scratches in the floor could be taken care of and a...

Have you ever looked out your window and seen a short, round woman in her 30s whooshing down the sidewalk in roller blades? Hey, that could have been me!I am not all that athletic, but roller blading is something I love to do. I started with a cheaper paid of skates but I knew almost immediately that I would need an upgrade. In in-line skating you really need to spend some money to get the best...

I have bought many pairs of Vans over the years. I have a 32 year old son who I bought them for when he was in high school and that is all he wanted to wear. I now have an 18 year old grandson who also really likes them and is all he will wear and has worn for the past five years. I believe they are one of the more reasonalbly priced sports shoes on the market today. They are comfortable and du...

I purchased Airwalks for my 8 year old because of the color and the low clearance price of $6.  From the very first day wearing the shoes, the laces were a problem.  The laces were too long and there were two sets of laces on each shoe.  No matter how many times I tied the shoes for her (which is embarrassing to an 8 year old), the laces still came undone.  What was worse wa...
