ok, so right now l have jackson Classique figure skates, and in my opinion, they suck.So, l would really like to know what kind of figure skates l should get. l am in freeskate 4, working on loop jump, waltz loop, and flip jump, and things like that.could you please tell me a brand and possibly a model that would work for me.

thanx,
genevieve

l had jackson mystiques(lamest skates ever made) that l had forever because my mom would not get me new ones & finally l got a new pair of riedelles l do not know the name of them but they work great & the toe pick is giant :) but the foam stuff on the inside is breaking down from when l put on my skates & a chunck fell of some where in the middle but all skates with that in them will do that but they r really good skates l wanted there new model but they r $400 :( but my skates r good for ur level & higher levels too( they can take doubles) & will make lutz, flip & toe loop alot easier & they break in with out any or little blisters!

Jackson or Riedell.

l highly suggest the Freestyle or Competitor. Both are great skates but they will only last until about axel level. l would suggest getting the Jackson Eliteand a Protge blade (the Blade is Ultima.) Or getting the Riedell Silver star wuthe any of the MK or John Wilson Blades.

If you like Jackson, stay with them ( l mean if your foot fits nicely into the skate)

Hope l helped

l am at the same level and l have Riedell Women is Bronze Medallion (i think), and they work really well. l also have Coronation Ace blades. l have had these skates for 1 1/2 years and they still work perfectly. l would talk to whoever is fitting you for the boot, they know best.
