Today way a wonderful day to skate on my 12 x 28 rink. My thoughts went to the blades
and the boot with laces.Look at your skate. What is the radius hollow, blade radius, and
blade pitch. How high do you lace up, how firm are laces?
From my friends wisdom, lets talk. Laces, extra lace should never be wrapped around the
ankle. As you lace up your boot have the bottom 2/3 laces firm with the top 1/3 some
what tighter. The height of the top lace should facilitate your style of skating. At public
skating try different heights.
I use a western boot pullers to tight lace on a cold day.
My skate sitting flat on the ice only touches the diameter of a dime. I chose quick,
sharp turning over speed.
A flat small stone or a copper penny can remove nicks on the blades.
Rub from heel to toe along each side of the blade.
