So I'm going to go and buy myself a pair of aggressive skates but want to get some ideas so to where to buy from and what type. I'm still a beginner so I want to find a pair that aren't going to be difficult to move in and give me to freedom to practice and train in.
I also am wondering if anyone has any gear they could recommend (helmets, wrist guards, ankle weights). It would help me very much. Thanks!

At aggressive mall you should call them or i think it was rollerwarehouse but one of those sites has a number and they walk you through everything like they question you about things like how do you ride what hand do you use if your a starter they recommend skates depending on you also aggressive mall throws something free like a shirt or some wax if you buy their skates.

which brand is a very difficult question, most of rollerbladers share this problem. it's up to you which brand suits your style. all skates feel different and have very different functions. Remz has a loose, low cuff for deep tricks with a lot of style Razors have a lot of support and a high cuff, also its the most popular: very good functions, best skate in my opinion The USD Carbons are tight, light, good look and fitting most modern skate Adapt is handmade very strong and comfortable (even has a vegan version (no leather)) but is expensive Xsjado have large soul area's and can be worn over your sneakers making them quick to put or and convenient SSM/NIMH is more of a punk style skate Valo I don't really know much about but it certainly looks appealing RB is alright I would suggest against buying K2, DK, Roces and Deshi unless your on a budget

oh and frames are a whole other ball park: There's anti-rocker, tri-rocker, HiLo, flat-rocker, powerblade and freestlye each have their own characteristics that again depend on your stlye. I can explain all the types but to keep things easier for you Powerblade is harder to grind but more stable and faster (also more expensive), anti-rocker is good for grinding, the small wheels in the middle (they don't move) help you to lock in your grind (but the problem is if you miss and you try grind between a wheel and a anti-rocker), freestyle is just one big grinding area and finally if you want the speed and stability of poweblading but still want to grind easily then there's flat rocker which is very popular these days but Kaltik (check AM for them) have made some decent frames which let you grind easier with flat rocker setup (4 wheels)
