My sister just got new skates. She got the Riedell 910LS and the Eclipse Crescent Blade. The blade is where I'm a bit shaky..... She's still working on her technique with her lutz, and is starting to work on her axel. As for spins she's working on Back-camels, laybacks, etc. She's testing Preliminary MIF.
SO: I guess my question is, is the Eclipse Crescent blade a little under-level for her? Even if it's not right now, how long should she stay with it until she needs a blade upgrade? I was thinking that she should've gotten the Eclipse Volant blade. But, our Skate Pro at the rink (he's the best in our state) seemed to think Crescent was fine. The thing is, I see kids who are just learning back spin and toe loop skating on Eclipse Mist, and my sisters a bit higher level than that, but her blade is not. I have Ecplise Mists and I'm working on Double Jumps. I'm not really a pro at this, so any input is appreciated. Money is tight so i'd be nice to be able to plan big expenses as far ahead as possible.
