So I skated last night at practice! With my new skates! Yay!
The Boots (Riedell 495) - they will take some breaking in (the edges are not padded, so they're rubbing up against my ankle), but they're very nice and snug and all that. The heel-lock doesn't really seem to do that much.
The Plates (Sure-Grip Avenger, White Magnesium) - This is my first time on 45 degree plates. I really noticed a difference (though it probably would've been a greater difference if I hadn't been off skates for over a month). My turns seemed sharper, the (limited) cutting I did was quicker. And they're so light!
The Wheels (Radar Diamond, 94A) - I want to marry these wheels.
So yeah. I had PT again this morning and Jeremy told me I could skate again at Sunday's practice, same as Thursday (nice and gentle), and then mid-next week (we don't have practice but I might go to Adult Night Skate on Wednesday) I could work on picking up speed and starting cross-overs, and then the week after that I could get more into one-on-one drills. Yaaaaaaay!
