Getting my skates profiled

[jimmy 194]

Glad your son is skating better! You are so correct about youngsters, they adapt much faster than curmudgeonly old men. :-) The longer one skates on a particular set of runners, the more burnt in their body mechanics get to that feel, so when you change them or when they get new steel, it can be a little awkward at first. If they give their body a chance to adapt, in most cases they will be skating better.

The beauty of being a 10yo is that they can adapt to things so much better than adults and I think the intial switch from regular hollow to FBV was offset by having to get used to a new boot/skate completely. I highly doubt he even notices the FBV now, he just knows that he can move/turn better and seems stronger on his feet.

Thanks again Jimmy for the good work, I just sent out a spare set of steel for you to profile + FBV...
