I skated on professional blades today...

WOW... what a difference from my Excels! I could feel deeper edges and my strokes felt better. It really was amazing the difference I felt. I also did not feel the adjustment to using those blades was difficult. I love them! The best part... I didn't have to buy new blades. These came off dd's old boots! I also donated my Excel blades to the rink. I figured at most, I could sell them for 25.00. They can then give them to a newbie who might need blades but can't afford new blades or doesn't want to spend a lot as a beginner. I'd rather they be used then sit around in my house collecting dust. They are in pristine shape! They will make someone very happy.
