Skate Fitting:
We are dealers for Graf, Jackson, Klingbeil, and Riedell figure
skates. You will be fitted with the correct length and width. Then your boots will be
modified so that they do not hurt or give you a blister. We specialize in ouchless
ice skates, and can almost always accomplish that. We are fortunate to be inside the Ice Oasis
skating rink
because skating boots may not hurt in the store, but may start to hurt
after
you have been on the ice a few minutes. With access to the ice, you can
come
into our store immediately if your boots hurt. We can adjust them and
you can go back out on the ice to make sure they are right.
Blade Mounting:
We can mount your blades onto your boots, or move your
existing blades. We can adjust the blades as we watch you walk in the lobby.
Also, we can follow you around on the ice and move the blades so that you feel
the edges are balancing best for you based on the answers you give to our
questions.
Sharpening:
We offer a standard sharpening which is suitable for basic
blades. Often this can be done while you wait. We also offer a precision sharpening
which is labor intensive. The advantage of the precision sharpening is that the
edges will be accurate. You cannot buy a sharpening where the edges are more
level. We can also get a smoother finish and do it while removing the least
amount of metal necessary. The precision sharpening is suggested for the better
figure skate blades, from the Double Star up. It is required for the Phantom,
Gold Star, Gold Seal, and Paramount blades.
The Store:
In addition to skates and blades, we carry skating dresses, skating skirts, ladies' skating pants, tights, and accessories for the figure skater.
