Review on Riedell Skates Roller Skate Light by Wayde Lash

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Would buy again from Inline & Roller Skating

EDIT: After riding a bit more I'm deducting a star. Two problems. First, the bushings (spacers on trucks) were too soft. To learn to skate, I like my trucks to be tight and they don't allow that. I updated them (about 20 corrections). Another problem is the nylon plate. The way the kingpin sits in the plate and tightens as you adjust the bogie is an issue. The screw ripped off the plastic. So I have to remove the plate and weld on the kingpin. Again, good skates for beginners, but expect an upgrade after 6 months or a year if you get a little rough on them. I bought them for the men's derby. you are good I highly recommend them. The only problem I had was the finger rests came off while skating and I lost them one day. I updated the toe supports. Also, the bogies are loose, but they could be bushings. I would definitely recommend it for beginners.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only
