Overwhelming Acceptance of Synthetic Ice!
In 2008 major
technological advancements have given us a true "skate-like-ice" surface
suitable for all forms of skating. The Super-Glide®
skating surface is a synthetic ice skating surface with a scientifically
engineered density and make-up to allow skate blades to glide as
smoothly as they do on real ice, but without the cost of refrigeration
or maintenance.

Superior to Other
Synthetic Ice Products
Far superior to previous artificial ice compounds, Super-Glide®
offers less resistance, creating a skating experience almost identical
to real ice. In the past, synthetic ice skating rinks required the
liberal application of silicone to the artificial ice surface creating a
wet, oily surface which attracted dirt and other contaminants. These
could contribute to a reduction in glide and a chattering effect that
was a result of dry spots.
With the Super-Glide™ product the
lubrication comes from within the chemical make-up of the product
itself. Also, Super-Glide® has a solid core, and is not just a thin
layer of product laminated to a wood core as most of our competitors
products are. No matter how much use you give your Super-Glide® skating
surface you will never cut down through a top layer to something that
isn't slippery. Super-Glide® is slippery through and through.

What is Super-Glide?
Super-Glide™
is a
high-tech polymer plastic that you can skate on. Super-Glide®
is a synthetic ice
skating surface composed of specially engineered polymers that
permit a skate blade to glide as
smoothly as on real ice.

Why is Super-Glide great for training?
Super-Glide™ has slightly more resistance than ice,
allowing the
student to gain confidence quicker.
Figure Skating:
All figure skating elements can be accomplished:
* Especially good for increasing speed & endurance.
* Rapidly develop better spins (more precise positions needed).
* Edge and toe jumps:
Super-Glide®
encourages figure skaters to press harder into jumps,
resulting in more height on ice.
Hockey:
* Practice stick handling and gain strength and endurance in your
own backyard.
* Great for goalie training.
* Now being used by NHL goalie trainers. |

Benefits
* Train on your own time schedule
* Reduce trips to the rink
*Save money on rising open skate or shoot & skate cost
* Increase your overall skating ability.
Even Better with
Super-Glide®
Skate Enhancer!
Since the 50's, silicone has been used to enhance the glide
characteristics for Synthetic Ice Surfaces (Artificial Ice Surfaces).
While it works, it goes on wet and stays wet, and this causes a buildup
of contaminants (dirt) on the skating surface. It's messy and causes
chattering. Through
advanced chemical science we have been able to develop a new solution,
called Super-Glide® Skate Enhancer, that is applied lightly to the
surface to decrease friction and give the Super-Glide™ surface a true
"skate like ice" glide. The surface is still dry after applying, unlike
the old style silicone application, which is oily to the touch. Yet
another way in which Super-Glide® out performs the competition! |
