1. Inline Planet.com	Inline Skate Reviews Editors of InlinePlanet.com As of Nov. 2007		InlinePlanet.com publishes the best reviews of inline skates. In the past year, editors have reviewed about six models. Reviews include testing, generally by two or three professional or enthusiast skaters. Write-ups cover most considerations, including comfort, ease of use and appropriateness for different types of users. There is also information here on related gear as well as skating news and articles. Skates aren't rated or ranked, but the reviews suggest that the women's Rollerblade Wing 50s are a bit better than the Rollerblade Activa II for beginners. The Rollerblade Crossfire and K2 Celena are well liked for more advanced skaters.
2. Wall Street Journal	Skates for Newbies, Klutzes Anjali Athavaley Oct. 25, 2007		This short article covers five inline skate models, with very short write-ups. Although we're not sure who did the testing, each pair of skates does appear to have been taken for a spin. The inline skates aren't rated or ranked, however. Featured, but not scored, are the K2 T:Nine Celena and Moto 90, the Rollerblade Activa 4.0 and Crossfire 4.0, and the World Class Skate EZ Terminator.
3. Amazon.com	Inline Skate Reviews Contributors to Amazon.com As of Nov. 2007		Amazon.com doesn't have a section for inline skates; the only way to find reviews is to search. Even once you find the skates, most models don't have any comments, or have only a few write-ups. The K2 Moto 90 men's skates have the largest number of reviews (about eight). About a dozen parents say the Fisher Price My First Skates are a good option for kids.
4. London Skaters.com	Inline Skates Various Contributors Various Dates		There are a large number of reviews here for inline skates. However, the most recent review is a year old, and the majority of write-ups are for 2004 and 2005 inline skates, making this source less useful. Products are not rated or compared. Still, there's good general information here, even if the reviews are too out of date to be of much use.
5. About.com	Inline Skating Carlesa Williams As of Nov. 2007		We didn't find any reviews here for inline skates, but this is an interesting destination for learning about the sport in general. Along with news about competitions, there are skating tips and some information on buying considerations. No particular inline skates are recommended or reviewed.

6. RateItAll.com	Inline Skate Reviews Contributors to RateItAll.com As of Nov. 2007		This site lists quite a few owner-written reviews of skates. Unfortunately, the reviews are all too old to be of use, since they cover outdated inline skate models.
7. Toxboe	Skate Reviews Contributors to Toxboe.net As of Nov. 2007		This inline-skate enthusiast site is a better spot for news and info than for reviews. Although there is a section for skate reviews, most reviews are very old and cover non-U.S. skates. This might be a good place to keep checking, but the reviews list is hard to navigate.
