    Where's a good place in Dublin to get a good pair of beginner rollerblades?

    Inline hockey skates or regular blades?

    I'm not from Dublin so I'm no good to you in any case :pac:

    Cheapest hockey skates are ~€100 online, I've a pair of Nike-Bauer that seem to do the job.

    If you're interested in inline you could do worse than going to one of the Dublin clubs and seeing if they have spare gear.

    They might have a development team too so they're be a few people that won't be brilliant at skating (I'm no great shakes myself).
    I'd recommend giving it a try even if you cant skate.

    The only thing with hockey skates is that you'll want them to have soft wheels for indoor use so they'll get shredded fairly easily if you use them outside.
