Default Inline Skaters - Anyone here?

I dusted off my Rollerblades a few weeks ago and have really been using the hell outta them. I forgot how fun it is to skate. I've got an older pair of Rollerblade Vapors that have been used quite a bit.

I was at Sports Authority today and saw some new ones that they had on clearance: Rollerblade Astro 50. Normally a $200 skate for $120. They seemed like they are a pretty decent skate: soft boot, ratchet strap up top, aluminum frame, 78mm wheels, ABEC 5 bearings

So, what kinds of skates do you guys have? What are some of the best skates you've owned? The worse? How often do you skate?

Wow, memory flashbacks. When I was younger I used to have a nice pair. I busted off the front wheel of one while on a half pipe and hurt my wrist pretty bad. Haven't done it since because the falls hurt too much :p

Worst I owned (happens to be my first pair) were some cheapies from Wal-Mart where the wheels would barely spin.

Best were a pair of real Rollerblades (forget the model) with upgraded bearings.

Lightest skate with the fastest bearings is what I looked for.
