I don't think anyone or any organization publishes that information, but many sites state that the Bauer Vapors are the most popular skate in the NHL. One thing to keep in mind is that many of the skates used in the NHL are customized to the player and are not going to be what you get off the shelf. If you are looking for skates do not purchase based on what someone else uses. The most important thing to consider is that the skate fits your feet well.

What is the difference between a rip stik and a wave board?

I've watched videos of both. I own a ripstik and they appear to be identical.

There are a few minor differences of the boards. Over all they are pretty much made of the same material. The Ripstik or Ripstick has a 1 mm smaller wheel, the decks are all solid colors, and the middle bar is slightly longer. The Wave Board has more wild designs of decks, 1 mm larger wheels, and the middle bar is shorter then that of the Ripstik.

How fast can a skate board go?

According to the NorthShore Inline Marathon, the top speeds for men are almost 19 mph and the top speeds for women are a little over 16 mph. Keep in mind that these are for people that do marathons.

My own personal best is about 13 to 15 mph, but I roller blade primarily to keep in shape for hockey. I averaged 9 to 10 mph for the marathon.

Also keep in mind that average walking is 3 to 4 mph and jogging is about 6 to 8 mph, so you can infer your speed based on that.

http://onlineraceresults.com/race/view_race.php?race_id=6539#racetop

Speed = Distance / Time (in hours)

3 miles in 12 minutes would be (3 / (12/60)) = 15 mph.

How do you clean grip tape?
