hi! i'm a 15 year old skater and have been skating on and off for the past 3.5 years, but more seriously within the past few months. currently, i skate in the jackson freestyle (which are embarassingly broken down, like i'm talking 2 inch creases.. yikes!!) with an MK pro blade. i'm working on landing my axel and all of my other singles consistently, and i know why my progress has been pretty slow now (aforementioned broken down boot).
i've been looking over boot types for my level, but i can't come to a conclusion on whether i should get edea choruses or jackson premieres. i'm a little worried about overbooting with the edeas (which i've heard from some people isn't possible??). should i be looking at other brands besides these? i'm also planning to mount a coronation ace blade (was originally going to do the lite vers, but im pretty sure theres no difference).
secondly, my loop. aghh!!!!! for some reason, i can only land it well with an iside 3turn entrance, and from my waltz loop combo, but not a back edge. i have managed to do it, but only a few times. i feel like this is also an issue from my old boots- a few days ago, my more advanced friends told me i was taking off from two feet with the backwards entrance, which i definitely felt. i'm really hoping new, supportive skates will help these problems, so cross fingers! thank you.
