Genuine question, do you guys think its possible for skaters who started “later” (age 14+) to land triples after years of practice? Ive only seen doubles landed by late starters and im curious if a triple is possible
i’ve been really stressed out because I need a new ice-skating bag and my skates are a size 11 so pretty humongous for a woman and I have no idea what bag will fit so I ordered the zoraesque tote bag from bag smart but the medium and now I’m worrying that it’s not gonna fit so if anyone has any experience with this bag should I have bought the large or is a simple medium enough to fit my skates, gloves, guards and a towel?
Those of you with narrow feet who have tried multiple boots, which do you like best? I have a pair of Harlicks from early 2000s and I was an 11 AAAA in those. I’m debating on Harlick, Riedell or Avanta for my next pair. Looking for a very good and comfortable fit and a skate that will last.
Hi All,
Does anyone skate at this rink? I've been going here regularly for lessons and wanted to look at the membership Options,
After doing research and getting emailed the membership prices im floored.
Every Ice rink near me (Slough, Ally Pally, Streatham,Lee Valley) works out around £45 - £50 a month so I can't really understand how and why Queens charges £1195 for the year making it something like £99 a month? Does anyone here have the membership and know if this is what it costs them too?
Its a smaller rink with less ice maintenance so not sure how they really justify these costs.
My thoughts above are kind of a ramble so what im trying to find out mainly from this post it.
- Does anyone on this sub have and pay for this membership?
- Do you pay the price of £1195
- If you pay a lower price than £1195, why is that and what do you pay
So my problem here is that my big toe is in PAIN :(( . I had this boot stretched out a bit in the front yet the pain came back after about a month. Especially from lutz and flip i already broke my nail 🥲🥲. Can I do anything else about it? They are almost brand new boots but it’s just too uncomfortable. Any other brand recommendation that would work for me? ( no fitter nearby ). My heel slips a lot, yet the toe box is way too small :(
Hey! I started skating fairly recently, working on SkateUK 7, and I think it’s time to upgrade my fits. I’ve been skating in a running jacket and leggings, and I’ve picket up some thermal tights and shorts.
I’m looking for tighter-fitting tops / jackets that will keep me warm while drilling exercises on public sessions (i.e. not moving too fast and stopping a lot). If the warm Define was available right now I’d snap it up, but unfortunately I decided to start skating with everyone was rolling out their spring collection.
I know some of the skating brands have workout jackets - would love to hear from anyone who has them! From the listings I can never tell if ‘warm’ means ‘it’ll keep your competitive 10-year-old from getting frostbite while she’s warming up).
TY!❤️
Does anybody have good tips/exercises for an ina bauer? Ive been skating for a few years and can do it off ice but struggle to keep my hips and blades turned out on ice (ill go skating tomorrow so any advice will help!)
Old D is current C?
On the toebox specifically.
