Hey guys! My girlfriend and I have been working on our plans for a long distance skate trip this summer from Canada to Mexico. We have recently gained a sponsorship from Rollerblade to cover the skate supplies of our trip and we're working on a few other sponsors as well. Ideally we are going to try to stay near the Pacific coast as much as we can. I've found tidbits of information on some biking and longboarding forums but I was wondering if anyone here has ever tried something similar to this?
Hello! I haven't gotten new skates in quite some time but mine are now on their last legs. I am currently using Bauer Vapour X70s in a size 3.5. Now only playing in a decently competitive womens league as well as beer league. I'm more than happy to pay for quality but obviously I'm not playing overly competitive now so I'm only willing to spend so much.
I have been browsing for sales on more quality skates however for some reason Senior and Intermediate skates seem to always be on sale but rarely Junior skates. I'm mainly looking for some recommendations prior to going to an actual shop so that I know I'm getting something good prior to dumping money into it and to give me options of what to look for on sale and then going to try on to ensure good fit/comfort.
Thanks in advance.

So the competitions start today. Who's watching? Who's going? Who's excited to see some of the biggest skaters hit the ice against each other? Do you guys have some favorites you're watching? How about the underdogs? Everyone loves an underdog.
Honestly very interested to see Chan's big comeback. I wonder how he'll do against the other kids this year. It's nice to see that after taking time away from competitive skating, he realized it really is what he loves to do. I would have liked to see Ten continue to be skating this year, I think he had a lot of potential, even though he was a bit of a head case.
Skate Canada Challenge is taking place from Dec 1 to Dec 5! This is for Day 3.
Coming up for this evening is the Senior Men and Senior Free Dance. Men will be delayed from the schedule, as they appear to be still showing pairs right now.
I tried googling for skates in my town of Ottawa, but didn't find anything in my size.
