  1. I've *heard* (I could be wrong) that for an adult, the ratings are a bit different...since you're bigger and probably need more support than a smaller child, you should probably get stiffer boots than the rating... My boots are rated for doubles and triples (they're actually the same ones that Liza T wears). Of course I don't do anything close to that but I think they fit perfectly. I like how they're stiff because my feet and ankles don't move around in there unless I want to, and on bad landings they don't twist or wobble at all. Even after skating for many hours my feet aren't sore the way they used to be when I had cheap Jackson Mystique(?) skates (they were $50 or so). My boots didn't take very long to break in (unlike the Risport RF1 I tried before which hurt a LOT). The person who sold them to me said they had some new technology where the foam inside the boot molds better to your feet and a lot of figure skaters who used to need custom boots were getting those instead. But he was also trying to sell me boots so take it with a grain of salt

  3. all things considered, it wouldn't hurt to see a doctor anyway
  4. nope, you should probably see a doctor
  5. How perfect can he look Personally I think I have selfish reasons to not want to see 4A so fast just because he says it's his "last motivation" to keep skating (but who knows, this boy finds motivations faster than he can fulfill them...)
  6. @cirelle do you know what he says in your signature gif??!
  7. Oh her bad luck never ends does it Well maybe they won't retire now
  8. Omg your sig...and the way he just brushes his necklace with his fingers...

  10. Oops, sorry, I accidentally made it private...you should be able to see it now?
  11. Lol what have we come to...recognizing male skaters by their teeth
  12. Wow, Tessa has moved on from skating? That's so sad. I always felt like she could've done so well, at least well enough to make it to Junior Worlds, if she wasn't backloading literally everything.
