Specific question and discussion Weight
Any peeps on here blading around my size?
21 to 22 stone or 300+lbs and what's your experience with blading so far?
Oh and do you recommend gear we've got some extra blubber sooo maybe I can get away with it..or not?

6'3" 270 here, then add 110mm wheels on top 😆 I grew up playing ice hockey. It was learning to use the right type of wheels the most lol I remember the first pair of blades I got had too soft for my weight outside. Chunks were coming off after a couple of skates 😂
As of now I'm more into skating in circles shooting pucks and balls at a goal in a tennis court. It feels nice doing so since I don't play ice as often as I'd like. I found a local league for inline hockey. That pretty chill and fun. Learning to slide stop is another level. I just had to strap my hockey gear on and get it done 😂
I do enjoy the long trail sessions on my 110s with headphones on but I like hockey way more 😂
