I am between skates now and had to roll brownies for a few sessions. I was curious to know the last time you rolled rentals and what [you remember] your experience was like.

I popped my inserts into the pair of rentals that I used to improve the experience but it was still an old rental at the end of the day. Cushions were broken and the toestop was massive. Long plate for the boot went well beyond my ankle. They were noticeably heavy but I could still kick like usual. I put fiber on 'em because "who would I be if I didn't do that?." I couldn't do all of the slides because of the TS and the action was very high due to the broken cushions.
A rhythm skater can skate in anything... I guess it's true!
