Pictured here, Mohawks Jon Eley and NIRC Jack Whelbourne at the 2010 Olympics where GB finished 6th in the relay.
Both skaters went on to break the 5k relay World Record alongside Mohawks Richard Shoebridge and Paul Stanley in following seasons!

Which blades? Are you looking at new blades and trying to work out which you like best? A little lost in the difference between them.

The biggest mistake is comparing blade models when each pair are set up differently, a different radius and bend will drastically change the feeling between identical models. So you need to have some kind of constant when comparing, or at least know the setup differences to factor into your comparison.

Then you have the old national team blades, that have work hardened in daily use and competition battle and not had a fresh radius or bend check.

Headline concepts for Skate-Tec blades

Otto - have a bridge that gives a different flex point away from classic pillar spacing. (Available firm and flex)

M-Wave - have M style pillars to distribute load evenly and adds some vertical stiffness (Available firm and flex)

Attaq - a cross between M style and classic pillars

Evo - a fantastic modern blade style that has broken world records multiple times, a pro level but not super expensive option (available Argon firm and Quarq flex).

Now add Staybent/EHS and Pennington ranges!
