The Technology
It’s simple.
Aluminum Frame
Elastic Shock-Absorbers
Pins with adjusting screws
Our True Cushioning Technology TM allows
the blade-runner to move inside the frame
against the shock-absorbers that compress
up to 5 mm (0.2 inches) during the biggest
landing impacts.
Much like a mountain bike with suspension.

The Advantages:
● 15% less landing impact for injury prevention
● Longer skating career, competitive and professional
● Reduced vibration for smoother glide
● More jumps in training with softer landings
Side-Cut - The next evolution in precision toepick design.
Enhanced grip and reduced ice holes.
Powered by modern simulations.

Reusability
Designed with
reusability in mind.
Achieve over 60% savings
already from 2nd purchase.
No need to buy the whole set every time.
Simply reuse the frame and replace
worn blade-runner or shock-absorbers.
Reduce the waste and contribute to
sustainability - on multiple levels.
The cushion blade seamlessly fits any figure skating boots.
Universal size frame and shock-absorbers accommodate
blade-runner sizes 8.5 to 11 and matching boot sizes.

Safe and Smooth Landings.
Overuse injuries caused by repeated
landing impacts are more common than
acute injuries in singles figure skaters.
Overuse injuries affect 98.6% of elite junior skaters,
as reported by 208 out of 211 interviewed skaters.
19% Acute
81% Chronic overuse
The most common injuries:
1. Stress fracture (
2. Jumper’s knee (
3. Osgood-Schlatter disease (knee pain) (
4. Ankle sprain (acute)

The impact on the body.
Skaters are exposed to about 5 times their body weight (BW) during
a Waltz jump landing and about 10x BW during triple jump landing.
For comparison, running results in about 2.5x BW.
Our True Cushioning Technology™ reduces landing
load by 15% without affecting the performance.
Ensuring injury prevention for a longer, successful
skating journey.

Spiegl et al.

Skaters can reduce over 450,000 kg of impact
load per year with our cushion blade that would
otherwise be absorbed by their bodies.
Imagine the relief on your tendons and muscles
from all that strain.

Tested – Verified – Published
In 612 landing trials, the cushion blade showed
significantly softer landings using advanced
force sensors, providing precise results
when comparing figure skating blades.
The graph shows landing impact load in multiples
of body weight (y-axis) over time (x-axis),
indicating how much load the skater's body
absorbs during waltz jump landings.
