Body Balance Contouring

Body Balance Contouring is the reshaping of skate blades. This technology improves all aspects every aspect of skating for any player at any level.

  1. Extends blade contact: with more blade making direct contact on the ice, you will experience stronger, extended strides as well as better balance and more efficient stops and starts.
  2. Centres balance points of skate blades: when the balance points of your skates is centred, your body weight is centred in the boot. This will ensure you are pushing off the front portion of your blades which will result in more efficient energy transfer in each stride.
  3. Angles body position slighty foward: while skating forward or backward, your knees should always be bent. Body Balance Contouring slightly angles the blade forward, putting you in the ideal skating position in every game situation.
