PROPER SKATE SHARPENING IS KEY TO PERFORMANCE
Our process:
Consistency is the key to good skate sharpening. Skate blades which have been neglected or poorly maintained are harder to sharpen and don't perform well on the ice. Clean strong edges improve control and a skaters confidence in the blades. If the blades are of poor quality steel or have been overheated by bad sharpening, the blade edges become weak. Weak edges are more prone to roll or snap off because they are brittle. Some sharpeners try compensate this problem by sharpening with a deeper hollow, but this only compounds the problem. The deeper hollow gives the skater an edge, but the skate controls the skater and the skater should be in control of their skates.
Our sharpening provides an improved center of gravity, resulting in greater maneuverability and increased speed. Blade profile and a square radius should compliment the skaters ability instead of creating body compensations and physical stress. Skating styles, height, and weight, are major factors, but the more accurate the skaters center of gravity, the greater the results in personal performance.
The Benefits:
1) No break-in period after sharpening
2) Consistent sharpening and squaring. Your bite angles will be consistent down the length of the entire blade, therefore increasing your confidence in the blade edges.
3) Blade edges stay sharp longer, so skaters do not have to change skating styles to compensate for the blade edges as they break down, resulting in less fatigue and injury.
4) Improved center of gravity
5) Better control, turns, flow and acceleration
6) Less Friction = Less Fatigue
7) No chatter on stops
