Hey! I hope someone can help me with this. I want to know whether or not I should upgrade my skate/blades and if so, which skate/blade i would be best fit for. For reference, I am a 14 year old girl (5'5, 103 lbs) who got the Jackson Freestyle boot with Aspire XP blades last February (when I started skating). I'd like to say that I've progressed relatively quickly within a year; I have all my basic spins down (sit, upright, camel) with some variations and combinations as well (cannonball, broken leg, camel-sit). I also have all of my single jumps except for my axel, which I am working on. I have tested and passed my preliminary moves in the field and I am testing my preliminary freeskate on Saturday and my prejuvenile moves in the field in three weeks (I just started testing in September, and so far I take around 2-4 months per test) I skate around 2-3 times a week for 5 hours total, and I have 2 coaches with 2 lessons a week. Is it time to upgrade my boot/blade yet? One coach thinks I am while the other coach says I don't need to. If I need to upgrade, I will get it fitted at a skate shop and ask the skate manager for advice, but what boot/blade do yall think is best for my level?
TLDR; I'm on prelim mitf and prepre fs but am testing to prejuv mitf and prelim fs soon, I have jackson freestyle skates with aspire xp blades/is my boot suitable or do i need to upgrade/
