Hi,
My girlfriend and I have had it with rental skates and want to get our own, after having some bad luck with
used we have just quit skating until we can get some that are brand new.
History:
Me: Several years ago after walking past the rink and mumbling "Someday" I finally just hit the ice and taught
myself how to skate, I can do laps at speeds that will probably someday get me in trouble, I can do foot-over-
foot wide turns, I can spin in place, and am working on going into a tight spin that ends up with you spinning
in place.
I have yet to be able to go backwards but not for a lack of trying my girlfriend and I both know that the rental
skates are holding me back.
Her: When she was in her teens (she is 29 now) she had a trainer and was constantly on the ice she was
about to get into competitions but due to life getting in the way she had to drop skating and eventually
ended up loosing her skates over the years .
She is still really good on the ice and has been trying to teach me stuff but as I said before rental skates are
holding me back and my feet just will not do what I want them to.
I did some research on ice skates and am pretty sure that I want to get "Riedell 133 TS" for her and
"Riedell 121 RS" skates for me, considering our backgrounds do these sound like what we should
get or do we need something better?
