Great explanation about the type of wheels used for dance. Would you be prepared to give an insight into what you consider to be be the ideal plate, size and position of the wheels in relation to the ball of the foot. TIA.
88a I am so confused by this. I am skating on wood floors in the Chicago area. All of the JB skaters are on 101a or 103a my 97a are so grippy i can't slide enough to do many moves. I notice the floor you are on doesn't look like a typical skate floor. Is that why you can use such a soft wheel? What brand and size are those wheels of yours?
Hi Kari, let me help you out of your confusion! First, you're right, we don't have a typical hardwooden skatefloor like you're used to in the US. On those type of floors, hard wheels are excellent and anything under 100A would be considered grippy and limits your options of moving and sliding. That said, hard wheels as mentioned have zero absorptive capacity, so everything is absorbed by the body and its components (joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles). Choice of wheels is first and foremost guided by your personal preferences (style of skating , indoors/outdoors) and secondly by the surface you mostly skate on. So, our floor has some interesting specifics, which allows me to use a wheel anywhere between the range of 84A to 94A, depending on what I want to focus on. I know my body and joints especially, are safe when I have a little slide (less torque action in the kneejoints) and impact is partially absorbed by the wheels. Too much grip will mess up your knees, Too little absorption by the wheels, will wear your body down fast.
