Ryan... You have never mentioned your instructor status. Are you an IISA
Certified Instructor? If not that's what I would concentrate on first
before you start buying in inventory of skates. Because without
certification you will have to find insurance which can be expensive and
you certification membership includes $1,000,000 in insurance among other
things.

Cheers! PHIL
