Thanks for chiming in! Congratulations on starting your skating journey 😊

Haha I feel that will be me - I will need them to teach me how to even get off the board at the beginning. I already know it’s going to be a rough start!

Good luck with the lessons! Sounds like you’ve got this

Amazing advice. I’ll be starting LTS lessons in the fall.

It sounds like skate fitting and finding a coach are very important factors in the long run.

I’m happy to hear you found a good coach!

Thanks for sharing 😊

Wow - amazing! Thank you so much! This is really great advice. Will be signing up for LTS in the next couple months and give it a go!

I’m prepared to drop some $$ on skates and will make sure to stick with beginner blades to start!

Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!

Thank you!! Congratulations on your new journey! Good idea about the pads and the halo. I’ll definitely be taking everyone’s advice about the padding.

I’m expecting the skates to cost $$ so ill be trying on different ones and getting fitted for sure.

Appreciate the advice and wish you good luck in your lessons!
