So it is getting the time for me to be thinking of getting skates for my little girl. And this double runner skate blade thing has me wondering. ? She is 20 months now and looking at skating right around her 2nd birthday
Are the double runners really a good choice? I haven't heard much on "learning" with them - rather that they are used a lot for actors and people that are more interested in not falling than to learn how to skate.
I am wondering if they will give a false sense of stability, that would cause issues that if she does like skating than she will want to transition into "traditional blades" - and this will require relearning?
Anyhoo, anyone here start with double blades? How was the transition? Would you change anything?
How hard is it to spin in them? They seem like they would make positions and stability really easy, so maybe that is an encouraging aspect that will maintain her interest. ???
Just wondering and hoping it can be fun for her however her enthusiasm may sway.
