I started skating about two and a half months ago. My rink is closed from April to October, so I can't skate as much as I'd like with out driving two hours from where I live to where my coach teaches in summer. I dont mind this but my parents obviously do. I can skate forwards and backwards, do forward and backward swizzles, two different stops. I start spinning when the rink reopens. I havent had a lesson on spinning but I can almost do it! (sort of) Actually, videos of me skating could most likely win America's funnyest home videos. Or I think so. My mom says I;m good... but she's my mom.
Any way, I'm looking for my first pair of skates. I think I found some I like but I don't know if $35 is too cheap for good skates? They're white American athletic skates. I'm also getting blades. Are nickel plated ones bad?
Also, is there a certain kind of blade guard I should get? Thanks guys, you rock!
