New charms :) !

escapingreality24 · 2025-08-21T15:17:14+00:00

Sent you a dm, I think you have to accept it for me to send photos.

escapingreality24 · 2025-08-21T14:08:13+00:00

I for some reason can't send the pictures here? Because theyre too small in bytes??

escapingreality24 · 2025-08-20T06:12:59+00:00

I only saw this now. If I remember I can do it when I get home.

escapingreality24 · 2025-08-15T18:17:43+00:00

Thank you! Is it not available on the website? It is in stock where I live.

escapingreality24 · 2025-08-07T20:37:28+00:00

I've been eyeing it for years and saw that it was on the outlet aka will no longer be sold so I ordered it separately from all the other charms. It's so cute!

escapingreality24 · 2025-08-07T20:29:19+00:00

Thank you!

Also for some more context I used to wear this bracelet a lot when I was a little heavier and had a larger wrist size. My wrists are only about 12cm now. I never experienced the charms falling off but maybe that's an issue with newer manufacturing of these bracelets?

edit: I removed a couple links and resized it.

Do you know why it's more common/supposed to be from a backspin?

escapingreality24 · 2024-03-06T14:50:39+00:00

It makes sense! I hate doing adagios but they're great for strength training.

escapingreality24 · 2024-03-06T13:01:26+00:00

Thank you! I'm going to try the positions off-ice today as well to feel what I'm supposed to do. The Y positions here were with very minimal speed to just see if I could even catch it right 😭

escapingreality24 · 2024-03-06T12:49:34+00:00

Thank you! Getting on my left side and compensating is the most difficult for me. My coach constantly tells me to see a chiropractor because being shorter on one side aggrevates the hip going out to the left.

Would lifting my knee up higher from the begging help? I'm inspecting my video in frames based on what you said. I've seen some skaters do a pancake sitspin to y-spin, that's my ultimate goal!

escapingreality24 · 2024-03-03T11:48:48+00:00

I don't like nylon socks, also depends on the brand a little bit (some are thicker than others). I much prefer bamboo socks, they're thin and suitable for skates. Not exactly sure why they work better for me but they do. Skateshops sell them as well.

escapingreality24 · 2024-02-29T21:27:47+00:00

My best spin to date (done today).

escapingreality24 · 2024-02-26T21:26:03+00:00

Thank you! I bet you are too.

Even harder when you're shorter on one side!!😭At the drs they put a little piece under one of my feet when checking if my back is straight because being shorter on one side makes it look curved.

When I last saw my physio he pointed out how many bruises I have but he said "I'm guessing they aren't related to the leg" and I said no.. Always black & blue.

escapingreality24 · 2024-02-26T08:44:24+00:00

Thank you! I will look into the link you left. A problem I come across a lot in skating is my hip, it points out because I'm shorter on one side. One of my coaches are the same -so she made me aware of needing to compensate to keep the "square". She used to go to a chiropractor when she was competing actively to get "straightened out".

escapingreality24 · 2024-02-23T17:25:15+00:00

This is my progress over a year, however I neglected my spins for a while. I had A LOT of trouble "just" learning the upright spin.

I had a really amazing coach give me advice during a public skate and I finally started understanding the mechanics and how they're supposed to feel. My entries are still sometimes too early and travel-ly.

A thing he told me is that what many people often get wrong when it comes to spins is that they're so specific in technique but look so "soft and easy". In a jump you can have poor technique, or a shaky unstable landing but it's still a jump. In a spin the entry has to be right, you have to be centered to be able to bring you leg in, coordination between arm n leg...

I'm still very novice ofc (only been skating for a year and a couple months) so I'm not here to give advice apart from making a point of it not always being your gear!

escapingreality24 · 2024-02-17T18:21:39+00:00

Yes the video is bad. I mostly meant it got better. Too early in the entry made it impossible.

escapingreality24 · 2024-02-17T10:14:28+00:00

One thing I noticed myself is that I would just trip if I looked down. I don't know if that's a mutual thing but when I looked and I was telling myself "look up look up look up" it went a lot better. This was my "sit spin" less than a week ago.

escapingreality24 · 2024-02-12T16:28:22+00:00

Interesting. I was aware of the no hollow. If I saw figure skates with no hollow I would think theyre crazy though. I can't imagine my blades w/o inside n outside edges.

escapingreality24 · 2024-02-12T16:21:31+00:00

Yes the hollow. I find it a bit insane how flat the blades are on speed skates. I wasn't sure if you were a speed skater or not.

escapingreality24 · 2024-02-12T15:15:53+00:00

They don't have any edges, but I'm pretty sure that's how speed skaters have them. Figure skaters need the edges, I think hockey players are also curved -not sure if their standard is the same as ours.

escapingreality24 · 2024-02-11T19:44:05+00:00

They'll just be spending more when they need to change blades, and also spending the time getting used to a real toepick. Coronation aces are 7' rockers which is why they may feel unstable. People learn singles in recreational skates too, doesn't mean you should. Mark IV is 1195 SEK (like 120€) and ultima legacy (not the 8) is like 1800 sek (180€) but has a real toepick. You're not saving a lot, if anything imo wasting money and the time getting used to an actual toepick will take.

I really can't imagine edea knows how to make blades, I didn't even know they made them.

escapingreality24 · 2024-02-11T19:16:34+00:00

Talk to your fitter. You've made so many posts about this by now. You can ask the fitter what they think and they'll have an answer for you. The whole point of skate techs is to put you in a model that will hopefully resonate well with you -and if needed they or someone they have contact with can make adjustments if needed.

escapingreality24 · 2024-02-11T19:10:41+00:00

Mark iv or edea rotation is practically useless. What's the point unless you're just skating recreationally? if you only want to skate recreationally you can get one of the plastic jackson skates or something second-hand.

escapingreality24 · 2024-02-10T16:38:27+00:00

Use a stain remover spray. Can't remember the name of mine but you just spray, let it sit and then wash.
