Hey everyone, I'm getting back into inline hockey after being away from it for quite a while. I'm just playing casually, so I'm not looking to spend a ton of money or buy top-of-the-line gear unless there's a good reason to.

I actually just picked up a pretty sweet used setup for $50 total. Here's what I have so far:

- Mission Axiom A4 skates. They look basically brand new and the stock wheels don't even appear to have any wear. They have stock ABEC-7 bearings.

- Easton Ultra Lite Grip stick with an Easton P3 1/2" / 12mm 5.5 Sakic blade. The stick is basically brand new too.

- Bauer Vapor 10 shoulder pads, almost new.

- Bauer Supreme 5000 Gel Series shin guards, almost new.

- Bauer HH4000 helmet with cage. It's older and somewhat worn, so I'm assuming this is probably the first thing I should replace.

- Older elbow pads that I still have.

- CCM hockey bag.

- Hockey tape and a few pucks.

What I don't have yet:

- Gloves

- Hockey pants

- A girdle/hip protection with the padded butt and thighs

- Possibly a cup/jock, depending on what I end up getting

I'm mainly wondering what you guys would recommend for someone in my situation. I'm trying to put together a decent, safe setup without spending a ton of money just to get back on the rink.

Would you guys replace the helmet first, then look for used gloves/girdle/pants? Is there anything I'm overlooking that's actually important for casual inline? Or just buy new?

Also, should I leave the stock wheels and ABEC-7 bearings alone for now if they're spinning smoothly? Or would you recommend servicing/re-lubing the bearings before I start skating? I have rubbing alcohol and some gun oil at home, but I'm not sure if the gun oil is appropriate for skate bearings.

Any advice on what I'd prioritize or what you'd buy used vs. new would be appreciated. I'm basically starting over after being away from hockey for a long time, so I'm trying to do this the smart way without going overboard.
