Spend no more than £100 on skates go to Decathlon or Skate Attack. Personally I reckon in-line are easier than quads to learn the basics. You should get protective pads, these are really important.
Knees
Bum
Elbows
Hand/Wrists
HelmetBecause the only way to learn is to crash

Echoing Almac and having smashed my wrist skating, I'd definitely recommend good protection. I was using full guards, stupidly the cheapest I could find. Won't make that mistake again.
Have fun though. If you're in London, loads of good skating classes to get you going.

What are the recommendations for 4 wheel skates, for somebody who’s never skated before? Ideally something from eBay which won’t be expensive, when I decide it’s really hard and can’t do it.
