i am 17, 75kg, 5’6 and hypermobile. my left ankle in particular makes it harder to skate as it is on a constant inside edge due to my edea waves not being strong enough to hold it in place. i often struggle with my left one foot glide as well as pronation. i’m on skate uk level 4 currently and won’t be able to get my new skates until december, estimating to be level 6, so trying to get input from others. my feet are too narrow for jackson’s and edeas are the only brand that fit my feet perfectly. i’m looking at the jackson legacy 8 blade to pair with it as i wont need anything fancy. i’ve heard people say that the tongue on the chorus breaks down too quick, is that true? will it be an issue for me if im still going to be doing stuff like backwards crossovers and mohawks? i’ve had my waves 3.5 months and skate 5 hours a week and theyre already breaking down so unsure how they will hold up the next 4 months. i looked at overture but my skate tech told me when i bought my waves that they aren’t much different and i don’t want to spend out on new skates just to get more new ones not long after. i will go to a fitter to get them but wanted to gain extra insight first. any info will be appreciated !!!

my biology teacher is actually encouraging us and setting us work to do via chatgpt and telling us what to input and show we’ve used “helpful tools” to help us with our coursework???? and when she was showing an example i saw that she’s used ai for student references and to full on make lessons. can we not use our brains anymore it’s so stupid ESPECIALLY when it’s coursework that goes towards our overall grade why do we need ai for stuff we are meant to be taught in lesson. just to top it all off, my college is celebrating world environment day!!! so straight after she went on to say how the planet is rapidly deteriorating and there’s water shortages due to human activities. maybe, i don’t know, read the room and use your brain and don’t be stupid????
