hello,
i skated when i was 4-5. then i stopped because there wasnt a rink nearby. then when i was 10-11 we moved to a place that had a rink so i started again, but stopped once more. Now i am 14 and have started again (but this time for good, i REALLY enjoy it this time and can't get enough time on the ice). I have a pair of wifa's which i have had since the last time a figure skated (10-11 years olds), and my friend recently got a pair of jackson skates that where specially made for her foot mesurments and she absolutly loves them. so i thought well maybe i should get new skates since i have had these since i was 10 and the dont fit as well as they used to.
so i have been trying to find reviews on skates EVERYWHERE but cant seem to find any, so i thought i would ask you guys.
What skates would be best for my level? i want to get good quality ones that will last a long time (as my feet have now stopped growing), be comfortable, and help me to improve my skating.
Right now i have mastered the spiral, pretty much mastered the lunge, am working on one foot spin, the waltz jump, the toe loop, and some other things.
