I've been wanting to take part in something like this for a long time, but I am sadly a little heavyset... I imagine it would be hard to find a set of skates that could support above average weight and still provide good speed and stability while I attempt to lose weight.
What would you recommend in terms of a skate with stronger than average framing, that could still allow a beginner to have good stability to practice with? Also, good customizability would be a plus.

your wait shouldn't be a problem for the skates. remember aggressive skates were made with large gaps in mind so skates are built to take a large amount of impact. if u are still concerned about it i recommend getting a pair with a larger shock absorber i have only skated xsjados but i believe razor and valo have the largest shock pads in them (dont quote me on that) dont let ur size stop you VF

It doesn't really matter, which boots and frames you will choose, but pay attention to get harder wheels, or else your speed will be decreasing drastically. Aluminum frames for FSK and aggressive frames can take a lot of weight, as far as I know, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Hey man, take it from me. I'm quite a bit on the heavier side, lol. Some of that's muscle, some fat. But yeah, Aggressive should definitely hold the weight, it's not an issue. Like was said, they should be able to hold up or they wouldn't hold up to hard impacts at all. What you need to be careful about is your joints, especially your knees. Make sure you have accurate jump form. Trust me, excess weight can kill if you're careless with your knees.
But overall, I would recommend Razor brand, especially if you're looking for a good beginner brand. They're pretty durable with shock and with durability, and they're fairly customizable. Generally around a hundred bucks.
And Bostonsk8er, nice list, man! Thanks for all of those!

Thanks...
Weight with aggressive skates is totally irrelevant. They're made to hold whatever you throw at them weightwise. Any frames will work, but some will hold up better than others. Ground control tend to be softer and not as durable for heavier people. Kizer are solid and hold up very well. My personal preference is Create Originals. Very durable, slide well and have a great out of the box groove. Don't know about blank... Valo frames are great for cheap money as well. As far as boots go, I'd recommend maybe Razor Gens or USD VII's as starter blades. Both heavy duty, and relatively affordable. If you have the money and want a seriously beatable pair of blades get some USD Carbons. The souls wear quick, but the boots are guaranteed against breakage for five years. Hope it helps, John
