Hi everyone,
Im new to the board and need some advice. Any advice would be good. Thanks in advanced.
Background:
I am a 24yr. old female who is 5ft and weighs about 100lbs. I am a semi-beginner ( I suppose) currently in Basic 5/6 and moving up. My old skates were very old riedells that were 2-3 sizes too big for me. So, I ended up getting a new pair of skates. The new pair are Jackson elites (DJ 3900). My parents found them on ebay for about 150 and bought them as a birthday present for me. Unfortunately they had them waterproofed and sharpened so I can not return them. I tried them and they are very stiff, I do not think I can break them in at all. If someone can give me advice on what to do, that would be great.
Do I just cut my loss and buy a new pair in my skill range? Do I keep trying to break them in? Should I try to sell them?
Thanks.
