^ you'd fit well in with the young uns at one of my local rinks then! They do that one foot hockey stop at speed and it looks very impressive! You would need to learn to skate with your hands in your pockets with a little swagger too though to look like a true hockey kid
(Do they do that for a reason or is it purely to look cool? or am I just incredibly old?)
I've always wandered if it feels very different in Figure v Hockey skates. Have tried my son's size 4 on which fit me but I know would be too tight to skate in. Have been waiting for him to hit size 5 , he has slow growing feet though
I want to try that thing where you roll over onto the front of the foot (where your picks are on figures).
Also notice lot of hockey peeps have there ankles laces dead loose
is that how supposed to wear them or are they just cheating with the ankle bends? (This is why am so slow progress, spend too much time watching others!)
