I'm looking for help. My son is currently in USFS Freeskate 1, and he currently skates in Jackson Mystiques. His coach mentioned that I might think about getting a better blade the next time we replaced his skates as he is working on beginning toe jumps. Next time is now. The problem I'm finding is that although he is six, he is tiny. He's the size of an average four year old. He is very short and very light for his age. So, I feel like going up a level in the Jacksons to the Marquis would be over booting him. That's a change of stiffness rating from his current of 15 to 45. (His current boots have helped up very well for him BTW.) So, what is a person to do when there is this blade level v. boot stiffness mismatch? I feel like I've got to be overlooking a simple solution . . .
