What is the best inline hockey skate for use on asphalt and concrete?

I skate on Bauer XX skates on ice and am looking at getting into inline skating. I was wondering what inline hockey skate will skate nicely like an ice skate and still be durable enough when outdoor skating. Like how high up the models can I go before using them outdoor becomes a bad idea? I won't be doing tricks and stuff just skating roads and paths and street hockey.





P.S. I've tried the Mission Soldier and the top Bauer skate, and both feel great indoors. Would the Mission Soldier or CSX stand up to outdoor conditions with outdoor wheels on it? Or is the chassis not strong enough. What are the highest bearings I could use outdoors also, would the ABEC 9 bearings die quickly from that sort of condition?





And just for an idea of what to get, what do good street hockey players use?

You can really get whatever kind of skate you want, the wheels are the important things. You just need to decide whether you want to buy a lower end model with harder outdoor wheels included, or nicer skates with indoor wheels. You'd have to replace the indoor wheels on any higher-end skates with something more durable, which costs more money. Either choice is going to be prone to getting scratched and stuff, so whether their expensive or not is up to you. The bearing shouldn't matter much, just be sure to keep them clean and lubed no matter what type they are. Both Mission and Bauer are good brands too, though I've always had Missions and like them.
Reply:i loveee missions they are my favorite i would go with any kind of missions
Reply:I tend to stick with cheaper brands for playing outdoors...I usually have one pair for outdoors then one pair for indoors...





Right now I'm using a pair of RBK 4Ks, they're doing pretty well. Make sure you stick with a higher durometer wheel.





As far as bearings go, any will do, ABEC 9 may be a bit of overkill but whatever floats your boat.
Reply:CSX most definitely
Reply:whe it comes to playing inline indoors, go nuts on equipment cause they dont get damaged much if any indoors. Outdoors are another matter. The life of your equipment when used outdoors is drastically reduced with every sharp turn and fall. Make sure its comfortable and you have the right wheel for asphalt like a duro rating of 80, 82, or 84. The nicest model of inline goes to waste when used out doors. Same goes for pants too. alot of holes in the knees. Sticks wise, just use abs blades unless your playing with a puck not a ball. Rotate wheels between every game and when you replace wheel just replace the back two and slide the previous back two to the front when they wear down to about 72 mm and replace the backs with 80mm of the same brand and model.
