Pro Figure Skater Tries Rental Skates!

Hello Skaters! Welcome back! Today I am doing something a little crazy, I am going to try and skate in rental skates! I haven't skated in rentals since I was a kid, but two weeks ago I gave you all my top tips for getting started in the sport, and my first tip was to ditch the rentals and get your own skates. I thought it would be a fun experiment to see just what I could actually do in rental skates. I hope you enjoy this!
