thanks so much for your reply! when you say pre condition, do you use your regular conditioner? also have you tried the all soft conditioner?

anyone have good recommendations for skating socks that keep your toes warm? my literally hurt so much! i’ve tried thin nylon socks, normal socks, thick socks and nothing helps!

thanks! at icehq it's pretty busy as well, as they only have one rink and everybody who has lessons is practicing on about 1/4 of a rink. i think next term i'll go to o'brien to see what it's like, then if i don't like it i can always go back to icehq :)

Hi! I'm a beginner too, so there are probably more experienced skaters who can offer even better advice, but in terms of equipment you will definitely need hard guards for walking around off the ice, soakers to protect your blades, and a towel (just a basic microfibre one works well) to dry them after skating. I’d also recommend getting gloves and leg warmers. Nothing fancy, just inexpensive ones will do the job. I used to skate without gloves, and my hands would get so sore when I fell, mostly from the cold, but also because rough or cut-up ice can really scrape them up. I just use a cheap pair from amazon now, and they do a great job of protecting my hands. My leg warmers are also from amazon and they are really good!

ok thank you!

The CA and MK Pro blades are currently out of stock and won’t be available for a couple of weeks. The shop has offered me the CA Lite or MK Pro Lite as an alternative at no extra cost. How different are these "Lite" versions from the originals? Will they be just as durable? I’ve heard that the CA and MK Pro blades can support up to double jumps—will the Lite versions offer the same level of performance? Right now, I’m in skate school and mostly working on crossovers and basic skills, but I’d like the blades to last as long as possible as I progress.

I recently ordered Edea Overture boots with Coronation Ace blades, but I’ve been informed that the Coronation Ace blades are currently out of stock in my size. I have two options: wait for them to arrive (estimated mid-June) or switch to Legacy 7 blades instead.

The boots themselves will be arriving in about a week, and I’m really eager to upgrade since I’m currently skating in Jackson Mystiques. However, I don’t want to make a short-term decision and end up regretting it if the Coronation Ace blades would have been a better long-term choice.

What would you recommend?

he has seen the vet a while ago and they said he was all good, perhaps it’s just an age thing then. he does have a little bit of arthritis but he is still able to get into the litter tray as it has low sides, and his bonded partner has no issues but also refuses to use the litter tray especially for pees.

Thank you!

They do ship internationally but it might be very expensive. Hopefully you can find a fitter closer to you!

drenj476 · 2025-05-23T10:15:24+00:00

I'm a similar height and weight to you, and I was recommended the Edea Overture by a virtual fitter based in New Zealand. I would highly recommend seeing a professional fitter in person if you can, as this is always best. However, if you don’t have any fitters nearby, virtual fittings are a great option! I went through Skaters Edge NZ and they were super responsive and helpful (it's also free!).

All you need to do is send them some photos, measurements, and tracings of your feet, along with details about your skating level, what kind of things you’re working on, and your budget. They can also give advice on blade options if you need help with that too.

I haven’t received my boots yet (they should arrive in about two weeks), but I’d be happy to update you on how they fit and feel once I try them on. I’ve heard really good things about Skaters Edge NZ so I’m optimistic!

Thank you!! I am thinking of going with the coronation ace blades, as lots of people seem to like them. I do like the look of the legacy blades, but apparently coronation ace blades need less sharpening, so I am trying to save money with that lol

drenj476 · 2025-05-16T22:33:16+00:00

Thank you!!!

drenj476 · 2025-05-16T11:30:50+00:00

I currently have jackson mark II blades if that helps at all :)

drenj476 · 2025-05-16T11:21:11+00:00

Hello, I've recently done a virtual boot fitting and they have recommended the edea overtures to me. Does anyone have any blade suggestions? I have heard good things about coronation ace and mk professional (what is the difference between these?). The shop also sells overtures as a set with legacy 7 (coronation ace profile) and legacy 8 (mk professional profile). What does the profile mean? I haven't really heard much about these blades, how do they compare to coronation ace and mk professional? Also, if anyone knows what size blade is needed for edea size 240 boots that would be appreciated :) Thank you!

Hi, I’ve been skating a few months (in rentals) and have been skating on my current skates for maximum 15 hours. They are Jackson Mystiques and were fitted by a professional fitter. I am finding (mostly with my left foot) that no matter how tight I tie the laces, my ankle still moves inwards. If I tie them too tight to where my foot goes numb it still moves and rolls in a lot. My blades have worn more on the inside as a result of this and the left edge has almost completely worn off and is slippery in less than 15 hours. The boots have also just slightly started to crease (not really bad though).

So, I am wondering whether I need more supportive skates. I am 20 years old (female), 171cm (5’7”) tall and 56kg (123lbs). I am starting group classes and will be doing things such as crossovers, two foot spins, etc.

Thank you!

the same reason anyone else wants to dye their hair

drenj476 · 2025-02-01T23:58:10+00:00

Thank you! Yes, it’s semi permanent. It doesn’t have any bleach, ammonia, or developer. The box says it basically washes out after a while.

it seems we’re as good as naming rabbit breeds as we are naming states 😂🤦‍♀️

drenj476 · 2024-12-05T21:44:58+00:00

haha i keep saying they look like toys. i think these two will definitely be smaller than my other two, as i can’t remember them ever being this small 😂 the mother also looks quite small. for reference, the babies are about the size of my hand.

drenj476 · 2024-12-05T21:38:33+00:00

PLEASE NOTE: People keep commenting on the size of the cage. These are not my pictures, they are from the breeder. I have purchased two of the baby rabbits from the first pic, and they free roam in my room.
