Riedell Skates Riedell skater Johnny Weir withdrew yesterday from the 2010 World Championship Competition. But while he won’t be competing later this month, he says his competition career is not over (yay!) and he plans to use the time he’s not competing in Turin, Italy to “re-energize.” Adam Rippon, winner of the last two Junior Wo...rld titles, will take Johnny’s place on the U.S. team. We’ll miss you in Italy, Johnny! And good luck to Adam!

I cannot find anything about flexibilty of the 910LS or the weight? I have a tiny skater freestyle 4 but only 42 pounds and want something with good heels for jumping but not something she cannot flex - how do I find out?

The Cutting Edge, of course. Liked Ice Castles and Ice Princess. Hated Blades of Glory. Haven't seen Whip It yet, but I want to. It inspired me to buy a roller derby helmet, which I wear while ice skating!

The 395 has a different lining "Cambrelle" and also according to the website, a re-enforced stitching right skate quarter.
