Well I bought new gumball toe stops, and one old toe stop wouldn't come out, so FINALLY got it out...it stripped the thing coming out, but we tried putting in my gumball anyway, got it stuck (its way too low, I'd be tripping everywhere), then decided I needed new plates...well pulling the screws out to take the plate out and the hardware is all corroded and broken so now I need new skates. Newbie skates that come with the newbie packages are so damn cheap! Any suggestions on brands?
