What to look for when choosing a skate

1. Manufacturing material. There are two main types: wood and plastic. The first option has only one advantage - low cost. That is why experts recommend such models to beginners, so that they get comfortable before buying more professional models. The second option has a whole range of advantages: durability, strength, the rapid development of high speed, no risk of delamination and changes in properties during repeated contact with water. True, even simple models of plastic ridge skis stand decently.
2. Rigidity. Unlike classic skis, ridges have greater stiffness. There are two options for checking this parameter. If you are allowed in the store, then install the skis on a hard surface, then stand on them, evenly distributing your weight. After that, take the usual paper sheet, measuring the clearance in front and rear between the floor and the ski. It should be up to 40 and 15 cm, respectively. Having shifted the entire weight to one ski, the clearance should decrease by 10 cm in front and behind, thus ending before the location of the heel of the boot. There is a simpler way for which the seller’s permission is not required. To do this, vertically install the skis, putting one sliding surface to the other, then fix your hands on the pads and squeeze them tightly. The clearance should be 4 mm. It is this stiffness and need skating. If the gap is 2 mm, the model is too soft for you.
3. Length. It is less than the length of the classic. In this case, the noses of the skis will not be bent, but even. Choosing the length of the height, proceed from the rule that says that the product should be 10 cm above the skater. To determine, directly in the store, lean the skis against yourself, asking the sales assistant to measure the difference.
4. Personal preferences. This is an important parameter of choice, because it is the skater who should feel comfortable, as he will have to ski many kilometers of the snowy slope.
5. Place of purchase. Discard the purchase of skating skis sold in ordinary hypermarkets. It is best to come to a professional sports store, where trained sales assistants will tell you which model will be the most suitable. Pay attention to the brand as well, because the large ones have already proven themselves, therefore, buying such skis, you can not worry that the money will be wasted.
