For figure skates, what radius would i need to sharpen my skates up to since i am a recreational skater.?

Question

"For figure skates, please indicate your preferred radius for free skate, dance, combination or figure skating."
what does that mean?

Answer 1

The sharpener is asking how you want your skates sharpened. Many advanced skaters have a preference.



Is this the first time you're having your skates sharpened, or have you had them sharpened before. If they've been sharpened before, you can simply say, "please match what I have", and they'll do that.



If they haven't been sharpened before, and you don't have a preference, you could just tell them that you don't know, as you're a recreational skater. It's not a big deal. If all you do is recreational skating, that's probably closest to "free skate", so you could specify that if you wanted.
