Ok so the back part of my right blade keeps coming loose! It really messes me up! I mean I tighten it every day before I skate,but then after I've been skating for about 30 or 45 minutes it comes loose again! Like I'll be landing perfect loops and then all of the sudden I can't even take off! Let alone land them! I don't know if I need stronger boots(my coach said I would soon) or if it's only a blade problem(that someone in the pro shop could fix.) What should I do???? Oh and right now my coach is out of town,so I can't ask him until tuesday. Help please!
thanks!
It sounds like the hole for the screw has become stripped. Tightening the screw every time really doesn't fix the problem. A reputable pro shop should be able to remove your blade, fill in the holes and remount your blade. I would recommend having them sno-sealed again if it has been over a year since that was last done. Don't put this off too long or you are liable to loose a screw.
If your laces are also loosening and your ankle moves a bit when you land it is definitely time to upgrade skate models. It would be helpful to know what model boot and blade you have. The different skates are made to handle different levels of skating and people out-level their skates all the time. I don't know much about other brands but if you are consistently landing loop jumps then you might want to consider Riedell's Star line.
Wait until your coach comes back before buying a new pair of skates as he may have a specific model in mind that would be best for your skating style. In the meantime, the Pro Shop should be able to remount your blade in a few hours and get you a bit more life out of your skates.
Hope this helps.
