how often should I sharpen figure skates
The answer to this question is.
it depends on what Ice you have been skating on! let me explain if you skate on a frozen lake your skates will need sharpening more frequently.
If you skate on arena type Ice like you do in Rising Stars, then the rule of thumb is to sharpen your skates after every 15-20 hours of use
Try to find a company that sharpens Figure skates, Hockey skate sharpening is very different.
Performance Skate-competition practice
Whilst Skating in your Figure Skating Dress please think about your hair! a judge wants to see your face, so a French braid or Bun is a good idea or some other method of keeping hair in place whilst moving around on the Ice.
