Opinions on figure skating boots and blades?

I am getting ready to test as a preliminary skater for USFSA. I need new skates and was thinking about getting the riedell elite royal boot and the John Wilson pattern 99 blade. Has anyone used these? Opinions?

You are getting ready to test Preliminary – you do not need this much boot or blade unless it is used. If your foot has stopped growing, it might be okay, but this is a lot of skate for your level. It is recommended for Novice on up which means I would put no less than an intermediate skater in it.

What jumps are you working on? The new Riedell 1310 is a great boot (works like the hinged boot without the actual hinge) and is very light weight. I would put a Vision blade on the 1310 for a preliminary skater. It also depends on what boot/blade you are using now – you don’t want to go down from what you have now, but you don’t want too much boot either.

Sniper Elite $12.99 A gritty, no-holds-barred behind-the-scenes memoir of life as one of the world’s top snipers In Sniper Elite , Rob Maylor takes readers inside the closed world of the elite Special Forces sniper, detailing Maylor’s dedication to the dark art of sniping and touching on the history of the great snipers who came before him. As one of Australia’s most highly trained and successful combat marksmen, he tells the story of his years on the front lines, from his early service with the Royal Marines in Northern Ireland, to action in Iraq and most recently in Afghanistan where he was involved in some of the heaviest fighting in the conflict. He also chronicles his near-death experience in a Blackhawk helicopter that crashed off Fiji, killing two of his friends, and how he would walk for hours, sometimes days, through hostile country until he found the right position. Then, when the moment was right, he aimed, and with absolute precision, put the bullet just where it was going to have the most effect. Filled with dark humor and the almost religious sense of brotherhood within such an exclusive group of warriors, this is an explosive and revealing combat memoir—and an inside look at the shadowy world of the modern sniper.
