Thank you so much for your feedback! Happy Skating!

spinning on roller skates is harder for me because you're centering 4 wheels instead of 1 blade.

There’s less friction on the ice so that’s why spinning is easier

On the roller skates it depends on what kind of spin you are doing, there are many more variations of toe spins for quads (impossible to do with a pic). Jackson Elle artistic inlines spin similar to ice, on the front wheel near the toe stop. On roller skates you want your arms to be more centered, where on ice you want to hold that strong L to rotate more. With all spins your entry edge should diminish.

I will put one up soon, thanks for your feedback. Happy Skating!

Hi! Glad to hear you want to pursue skating further. If you are planning on jumping and spinning I would go with a higher grade boot like a Reidell or Jackson Ultima; but to keep within your budget try finding a professional skate shop selling them used. Also have them fit you for the skate rather than buying online, Jacksons have a different toe box you might find you like the other skates more. Skates normally fit a half size to a size smaller than your shoe. Hope this helps! Happy Skating!

Just with practice for flexibility. Sink down and try to flex your foot up. It also helps to bend your knees. Don’t bend at your waist. If you have new boots and still having trouble with this, skip the top eye hook when tying them to break them in. You can also practice off ice in your boots with hard guards.

Glad you found this helpful! Happy Skating!

Yes, Polyglide feels different, but glides likes ice! Their newer product is improved from when this video was created. Another way to practice at home is to get some pair of artistic inline figure skates. I skate in the Jackson Ultima Elles with the Matrix atom blade, it is rockered and feels like ice. You can do almost all moves that you can do on ice with those skates, and you can mount any figure skating boot to the wheels if you have an older pair lying around that you want to upcycle too!

Hi! Thanks for the suggestion, we have been working on some tutorial videos with artistic inline skates. They will be coming out soon! Happy skating!

Hi, Yes, stress fractures can happen for a variety of reasons in all impact sports. And yes, it is generally is advisable to go up in boot strength a bit to prevent this, but you need to be very careful not to overboot, which can also cause serious problems. We always recommend being fitted by someone who specializes in fitting figure skates, not just hockey skates. If you tell me what area you live in I might be able to recommend someone. BTW we are in the process of putting together a series of videos specifically for adult skaters and will be sure to include boot fitting for adults. I started as an adult skater many decades ago so I totally understand.

Those are wonderful skates and blades for sure! I love Edeas too! Happy skating!

Keep skating on it and it will get better. PolyGlide is made of self-lubricating materials that will get better and feel more like real ice the more you use it. Good luck and keep up updated!

Hope our video helps! Thanks for your comment! Be on the look out for future videos on other half jumps. Happy skating!

You'll need to be fitted properly by an expert. I would go to a place that specializes in figure skates not some hockey only store. Since your feet are done growing, fit and proper ankle support are key.

It depends on your goals. If you want to pursue hockey then buy hockey skates, if you want to pursue figure skating buy figure skates. If you've never skated before I would go to a public skating session and rent your desired skates first and see how you like it. For example, if you want to be a figure skater, rent figure skates. If you find it too difficult to deal with a toe pick, switch to hockey skates and see if you like that better.

The height difference of skates usually does not make a difference with this. Usually new and open skaters make the mistake of getting skates too large which can cause the ankle to sink inward. Your skates should be half size smaller than your regular shoe size. Some skaters have different arches that can also cause a forced inside edge, this can be fixed with an insert. Check with your skate technician if you are having issues with this.

Don’t buy anything with buckles, get something that laces up, or for tots, has Velcro. Plastic buckles break and will not support your ankles.

Hi Alex, I can make a recommendation and I will send you a link, but first. would you say that you have a narrow or wide foot?

Sort by price (low to high), anything in the top three rows. Jackson is better for a narrow foot or heel. shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1103629&u=2737685&m=75822&urllink=skates%2Eguru%2Fproducts%2Fice%2Dskates%2Ftype%2Dof%2Dice%2Dskates%2Frecreational%2Dice%2Dskates%2F%3Forderby%3Dprice&afftrack=
