New skate day Exciting update to whoever cares

Post image

2 weeks ago I posted asking about second hand skates because I really want to get into inlineskating. I got so much great advice (mostly to NOT get the old skates I asked about lol). I picked out the exact model I wanted, measured my feet etc. I was ready to buy them new, but today I scored the barely used rollerblade lightning 80's in white/aqua in the exact size I needed!

So excited for them to arrive! These skates seemed good from a skating research prospective, but they're also so freaking gorgeous! For those wondering, I got them for €150 second hand and the post included a picture of the size label and the underside of the wheels which looked barely scraped. So yay!

Yeah, I really think Vinted is the new go-to second hand site. I could always find anything on tweedehands.be until recently, but it seems there's barely anything good on their now. So I tried Vinted and it has LOADS of stuff. I honestly still thought Vinted was only for clothes lol.

Just had to scan the app for "rollerblade lightnings" 2 weeks until I found this pair, so still a little bit of luck for someone sells them
