Balance Blades - Ice skates

Skate towel - needed to dry off your skates after skating

Skate blade covers - absorbs excess moisture and protect your blade from damage and rust

Skate bag - needed to hold all your skates, towel, covers as well as helmet and mitts/gloves

Indentations hidden within the rear contour of the blade involuntary and automatically engage the ice, when the blades slip under the skater to the point that a fall is inevitable.

Based on scientifically tested theories of movement, Newton's 1st physical law of motion; an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.

The indentations engage the ice (external force) and disrupt the skates forward inertia (constant velocity). This disrupts the angular momentum and rotates the skater forward.

It allows the skater a moment to counteract, realign and stabilize their centre of gravity, thus catching one's balance. When balance is caught, a potential rear fall and injury is prevented.  

Balance Blades skates enables a child to learn to skate with proper technique. The skate assists the child to balance in the middle of the skate during the entire learn to skate process.

More blade contact with ice surface.
Better stability.
Less rocker.
Even distribution of weight.
Increased balance.

Parents place 'training wheels' on their child's bicycle to keep them safe and assist them while they learn to ride a bike. The 'training wheels 'are removed to complete the transition process. 

Balance Blades are similar, the skate is transformed from a 'training blade' to a regular blade through sharpening when your child's skating skills have progressed. 

The indentations on the front and rear of the blade can slowly be reduced during regular sharpening throughout 3 transitional stages as your child's skating skills improve.
