Ice Skates-what do you think?

[BADMIHAI]

I want to buy some ice skates. I won't be playing hockey with them...just regular skating. I've only ice skated a few times when I was a kid but I've been doing in-line skating for about 7 years so the ice shouldn't be too hard to handle. I was looking at these Nike skates: http://tinyurl.com/4r28d


If you guys have any suggestions on what skates I should buy and how they should be sharpened, I'd appreciate your input. Thanks! 8)

Yah for someone who doesnt want to play, only for recreation, play it again sports would be good for a decent, yet well priced pair. Also skates should only be sharpened at a store, by someone who is trained to use the sk8 sharpener. most sporting goods stores will have a machine, dont trust the auto ones, they arent very good at all.

Thanks callen! That's good advice. 8)
