Am also going to mention, as I forgot to in my last answer, that you might like to try the Jackson Competitors as a starting point due to both the fact that: 1) The pair you had no problems with for half a year were Jacksons, and 2) Edea Ice Flys is, again, meant for those working on triples, and may be too sturdy for you ..read more

Hi there~
Firstly, I’d like to congratulate you for landing your axel, 2toe and 2sal! I’m so jealous! I was a fast learner when I first started but I’ve slowed down big time! That being said, I know you’re confident that you’re used to soft skates by now and believe it would be better, but trust me, you need to upgrade your skates into a new, harder pair suitable to your level and skating skill. If you think your ankles are half broken now, it will become so much worse if you’re working on higher levelled jumps with skates that have little to no support at all. You’ll be pushing your ankles pa ..read more

Hi there~!
How’s your axel off-ice? It’s always great practice to be getting a consistent axel off-ice. Also warm up rotations. When you’re off the ice, just do regular jumping on the spot, and in this case with your axel, jump one and a half rotations on the spot, then move to actually performing your axel off ice. When you are on the ice, warm up some more the waltz-loop, and waltz to backspin. I know you say this doesn’t help, but what is an axel if there is no evident rotation to make one? So this is why practicing your axel off-ice is important, to make sure you have the rotations, have t ..read more
