How long and at what temperature do you bake skates for forming purposes using the home oven?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The best method is in an convection oven. Preheat oven to 185 and insert the skates for 2 minutes with heat on. After 2 minutes, leave skates in the oven, but turn off the oven completely. Make sure to place the skates on a baking sheet of stand them up in a pan. Below is a good suggestion if you are baking ice skates- if you are baking roller skates then you can place the frame on the balking sheet of in the pan with no damage- of course, make sure the wheel are off.

Depending on the brand of skate your baking time will vary- Most brands will be good with 10-15 mins. Make sure to check them after 8-10 mins to see if the pads on the inside are getting too hot- then every couple of mins until they are well heated. I would not recommend having them in the oven for more than 15 mins. If this doesn't do an adequate job, you can always re-bake the skates at a later date.

When the skates are hot enough put your feet- with socks (it's hot), in the skates and lace the skate tight pulling the laces out, not up- the eyelet could become dislodged due to softening from the heat. sit with your feet in an upright position with heels firmly against the back of the skate. Do not move or wiggle your feet as the molding process is cooling. This will cause uneven molding to your foot and require re-baking.

Cooling down should take about 20-25 mins. After that you are finished with the baking process. You should NOT skate with the skates for at least 24 hrs. after baking.

Couple of tips...I have wet down the insides of the skates with a good spray bottle to simulate sweat prior to heating the skates. This makes the skates a little more pliable.

In order to keep your ice skates upright, run a skil saw through an old 2 x 4 to create a groove...just enough to slide the blade through. Gives the added stability.

What are some similarities of skateboarding and snowboarding?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Carving on a skateboard is similar to leaning to turn on a snow board. Also the balance of riding is about the same as a skateboard. A snow board includes more movements in the ankles than skateboarding does. Id say the two are very similar over all. If you are snow boarding for the first time after having been a skater, you will find that you don't turn as easy, therefore you must move your ankles into the lean of your body. If you are skating for the first time after having been a snowboarder, balance on a skateboard and turning and what not, will be fairly easy for you. Hope this helps.

Not usually. Sometimes if you are doing things with other people, grabbing your own blades, or fall akwardly, you will get cut. I've been skating for 12 years and have only gotten cut once.

How were the first ice skates made?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The first skates were deer-skin leather straps with long, bone blades that could bee tied to the bottom of a shoe. As they evolved to wood, people began to use them more for recreation than traveling and moving things easier over the ice. The blades were shortened down with a toe pick and boot added. "Speedskates" which were essentially the first kind of skate, are still used. Metal and plastic have taken over the fine wood and leather boots that are almost impossible to find. Figure skates have not evolved as much as speedskates, and hockey skates are more recent. They were made of wood, with fitted boots, and are now large and built for tough support.

Is it easier to learn to skate on figure skates or hockey skates?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Neither, really. It mostly depends on what you decide to start with. People who skate in hockey skates generally fall over on the toe picks when they try figure skates, and even accomplished figure skaters say they feel like they're gonna fall over when they put on hockey skates. So it's pretty subjective.

One thing I can say from personal experience, figure skates encourage much better posture and skating technique than hockey skates, as figure skates require you to straighten your back out much more to skate in/not fall over on the toepicks in them compared to hockey skates, I started in hockey skates and switched to figure like a week ago, so yeah.

The only bad part of figure skates is, if you get a higher end pair to just start out in, the toe picks will be close to the ice, so if you lean forward much at all, you'll fall on your face. The other issue is, up to about the 80s, figure skates were made of a single layer of leather, that you could move your ankle around in, like a combat boot. I find these really really hard to skate in, due to the lack of ankle support, compared to hockey boots. I'm sure if you start in them, you can eventually get used to them, but after starting in hockey skates, I could not at all. However, newer figure skates are as stiff/stiffer than most hockey skates, so that's no longer an issue, but I'm just saying this if you find some cheap $20 brand new Chinese "figure skates" or find some older skates at a garage sale or something.

What injury did Tessa Virtue suffer from in the 2008 and 2009 figure skating season?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It wasn't really an injury but a condition known as 'chronic exertional compartment syndrome' which caused serious pain in her legs due to muscles not receiving a proper supply of blood. She had surgery to relieve the condition.

She returned to competition at the 2009 Canadian Championship and won the gold medal with partner Scott Moir.

If you slide a hockey puck across a frictionless ice rink these must be a horizontal force on it too keep it in the motion?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

F=ma constant speed would mean 'a' acceleration is zero thus force zero.

The puck would be in equilibrium, and the force would be zero at constant motion. Constant motion is constant velocity including the constant zero velocity.

Who won 2006 olympic women's figure skating gold medal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sasha Cohen of the United States. She had been a favorite to win, and had a slim lead after the short program, but Sasha is notorious for never being able to skate a clean competition; she usually skates one program beautifully, and makes mistakes in the other, and she did so at the 2006 Olympics. She and Russia's Irina Slutskaya both made mistakes in their free skate, which allowed Shizuka Arakawa to come from third place to win Japan's first gold medal in women's figure skating.
