Jackson Mystique vs. Riedell 15 - Episode 17 : January 4th, 2010

[GammaBunny101]

Riedells were my first pair, they were great.

Jacksons were my second pair, and they killed my feet.

Now I have Risports, and they are just awesome!

That peticular type of Riedell skate he has is not the very good kind. There are other skates made by Riedell that have better padding and support and bigger toe picks.

After years of being on the ice, I feel the Riedell is a FAR superior skate to Jackson. Jacksons are hard to break in, they torture your feet, and they actually seemed to force my feet into a strange position giving the feeling your falling forward. I tried Jacksons for almost 2 years and finally switched back to Riedell and started winning gold medals again! 33 so far...

is the jackson for basic only! ???

[melissamisery894]

@bRyZmEz No, Jackson has different models for different levels.

The Jackson Glacier models are for recreational/basic beginners.

Jacdson Mystiques are for Beginner-Advanced intermediate

Jackson Classiques are for beginning of delta&freestyle 1-2(im not sure tho)

Jackson Artiste are for freestyle 1-5

Then there are Jackson Freestyle and gold(im not sure if tht is the exact name) for freestyle 6-championship competitions(and again im not so sure about the levels on these but its really close) :)

what can you do when the tongue slides down or pushes down on the toes when bending?

[SkatersLandingTV]

Stoves25,

Usually a sliding tongue is an indication that the boot is too big; usually too wide, to be precise. So, you want to take up volume in the boot with, for instance, a silipos or bunga product or even a sock with a thicker toe. Of course, there is no substitute for properly-fitting skates!

Hope this helps!
