Hi everyone, for some context I’m an adult skater working on single jumps and have been skating with Edea Chorus boots and MK Pro Lite blades for almost a year.
When I first got my set up my spins instantly got a lot better and I wasn’t really focusing on learning beyond Salchow/Toe Loop for a bit so I wasn’t really focusing progressing my jumps. Recently, I have been working really hard to land my loop and flip but have been in a big slump with them for a few months now! Looking at videos of my attempts it looks like I have a big issue with rolling onto and using my toe pick, I’ve noticed this in my attempts of some toe steps too and I had a pretty bad fall recently from my toe pick slipping out from under me.
I guess I’m wondering if anyone else has had issues with using or feeling the toe pick of these blades, I know they’re supposed to be suitable for doubles but I’m not sure what else could be causing these issues and whether I should consider trying different blades or it’s just user error and there’s something I can do to improve that. I was also a dancer for many years and have good arches so I’m really stumped about why I’m having such issues with rolling onto the toe!
Appreciate any insight or advice!
