axels

My coach decided the time to start working on axels, both on and off ice. One thing I did notice is that I struggle to jump full rotations off ice, but can do them easily on ice.

Tips are appreciated!

Is it socially acceptable for a not black person to do their edges?

Hi, Reddit!

Tomorrow, I will be going into a dress rehearsal for a performance and will be doing a hairstyle that needs to be slicked down pretty dramatically. I have tons of baby hairs on my hairline, and I want to lay them down, but I wasn't sure if it was socially and culturally acceptable.

Real or fake?

Can it rust this, or am I gonna get charged a million dollars later? Seems too good to be real.

Character not being active

So, I think this is because I set this character’s relationship status to rival. I added two new character at the same time and one immediately started to post and be active. The other has not been active once. I have made multiple posts since adding him, I have pinged him, dm’ed him, everything basically but he won’t post or reply to anything. Is this a glitch??

Does daily energy carry over?

I just purchased a subscription to try it, and it gave me 50 energy as my daily bonus. Does my energy reset everyday so it’s at 50 no matter how much I use the previous day, or does it carry over?

My shortcuts moved lower

I restarted my laptop, and now my shortcuts are super low on the page... is there any way to bring them back to where they used to be?

Happy and need to yap

Okay, as the title suggests, I'm quite happy with my progress and want to talk about it! For some context, I started figure skating in early January this year, skating around 3 hours a week. Starting around mid to late March, I've been skating around 8 hours a week.

For my spins, I've got my scratch spin and am now working on my sit spin and back spin. For my jumps, I've landed everything through Lutz (Except the loop, it's really weird. I just can't seem to land it consistently.) and I've started Axel prep :)

Ice spray alternative?

Hi all, I have a superdeker, and it is no longer slick. I am unable to buy the branded spray because shipping costs $30. I am looking for an alternative that works well, but isn't too expensive (over 20 dollars).

Pledge does not work. Please do not say pledge. I have tried plegde, and it made the slide much worse. Any suggestions?

Rust on blades

I recently got new skates and blades, and I have found that these blades rust no matter what I do, and I’m not sure how to fix this. I wipe down my blades as soon as I get off the ice, I transport them in soakers and take them off when I go home, wiping them a second time and storing them without anything on. They still rust. This is after two times.

After four months of figure skating, I have decided to upgrade and I think this may be the first time I felt true love. I went from Jackson Mystiques to Risport RF3 pro with John Wilson Coronation Ace blades. I also went from a Jackson size five down to a Risport 230. My blades have gone from 9 1/3 inches to 8 3/4 inches. So happy with my new skates!!
