Hi! I'm new on this forum
So about a month ago, we went to some shops to find some skates.
Just for reference, I am 4'11" and about 72 lbs.
Shop 1 recommended the Jackson Competitor DJ2470 with the Aspire XP blade. The salesperson was a figure skater and seemed to know her stuff
Shop 2 recommended the Jackson Elle DJ2130 with the Mirage blade, and that's what we got. The salesperson was a hockey player with 25 years of experience fitting skates.
However, after searching (and lurking around here for a bit), I read that the Jackson Elle was a "beginner advanced" skate. I am working on my flip and loop, and spins like my sit spin. I'm not sure that I could continue on the Jackson Elle?.... Or, is there another skate you would recommend? Would the Jackson Freestyle be a better option?
