Answer 1

These days most skates average from the $200s-$300s for pro models. But don't let that dissuade you. Most skates are designed to last you a few years with simple cost efficient replacements to the frames, wheels and soulplates. If you want some decent inexpensive ones that you can try on locally, you can find some TRS downtowns or maybe Point 8s at Sport's Authority/ Oshman's. They should be around the $150 mark, not that they are cheap, but they were made to be more affordable. There is a bigger selection on online shops, possibly where you live too, and you can find other ones like Valo Tv2s for $200 and Cult6s or Razor Genysys 4 for around $160. Check out Rollerwarehouse.com and Aggressivemall.com for some good deals and a bigger selection.

Answer 2

You are talking about agressive skating.  It helps if you know the basic term.

There really aren't "pro" skates, just differences in quality.  I expect that the really serious people start with boot that really fits them well (if it doesn't fit well, you can't skate with it really well) and put on a frame that fits their skating style.

In most cases, the skates will not limit your ability to learn.  The skater's skill is far more important than the skates except that the far top end.  Your question indicates that you are not at the far top end or you would know the brands and models.

Look at the better skates by Rollerblade, Roces, and K2 and get ones that fit well enough to become part of your feet.  If they are loose and move around, that is bad when it happens when you are doing anything important.
