Adventure Racing

[seanmcc]

Hello there,
I have been doing some adventure racing and have a race coming up that requires quite a bit of inline skating. I feel comfortable on skates but my 10 year old rolllerblades I dont think will cut it. Any reccomendations on a skate? Terrain will be hilly and probably not always smooth. Comfort is a must as is breathabiility and low skate weight. From what I have seen so far I think I want a wheel size of 84mm. I am looking up to $150 or so.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Sean McC

I would go with the Salomon 2004 Pilot 9 Pro. On closeout for $188. One size 10 available at $160 if you happen to be that size.

Great skate that is fast and fun. 84mm wheels as well. Versatile, comfortable and great for all kinds of skating.

Thanks for the post!
