Hey everyone!
New to this forum and new to skating. I have started having private lessons and am a very nervous skater - I know that my fear of falling is really holding me back.
Recently I got my first pair of skates. They are Risport RF4s with a Graf M-IV blade, and I haven't yet taken them on the ice but the blade worries me... Compared to the rentals I'm used to, I think I am constantly going to be tripping on the toe picks - even just standing on the carpet they're touching the ground.
Just wondering if these are actually good skates for a beginner?
and if there's anything I can do to smoothen the transition from rentals to my own skates?
Thanks,
Haze
