I’ve been getting my skates sharpened with one guy for a while now who claimed to be a professional. A coach wanted to see my blades and spotted that little bump right near my toepick and it was the reason I couldn’t do proper three turns and go cleanly into a spin.
Its caused by improper sharpening and the sharpener to be too scared to hit the toepick either because they’re dominant in hockey sharpening or they’re new.
Now I have to go to a professional 1hr from me to get these things corrected.
So if you’re noticing you’re getting kinda clinged or can’t get a good spin, can’t do three turns as well or land or go into jumps the best, check for this PLEASE! Hope this helps
So I’ve been skating on ice for maybe 3 years now and self taught (getting a coach soon 🙏🙏) and I wanted to know if inline skates were a good option for off ice? I’ve seen hype around it and I’m honestly considering getting some inline skates just to get to school for fun, but I also want to ask if they’re similar enough that I can practice off ice moves on them, like foot work, spins, jumps, etc?
Also if anyone knows anyone who fits inlines in CT/MA/NY areas, I would appreciate it so much. And thank you to anyone who comments!
