Optimum Skates Weight?

HI, I want to know what is the site which said something about skates that are light isn%26#039;t necessarily the best. Also, there is something like there is a %26quot;best weight%26quot; of skates depending on the weight of the skater. Anyone has any clue?





It say that the weight of the skates actually make you just higher rather than when you%26#039;re barefooted, that you actually need the weight of the skate.





I can%26#039;t remember the site but I kind of need the site for quotation.





Thanks.

I don%26#039;t know if I%26#039;ve actually read something about the weight of skates, but I%26#039;ve definitely heard about weight of skates actually helping the jump. If I%26#039;m not mistaken, artistic quad skaters muscle their jumps, so the weight of the skates helps them . . . I would think it%26#039;d be the same principle for %26quot;ice%26quot; figure skating. At the same time, all the rage is in lightweight boots/blades now . . . and almost everything you read about them are on a positive note (thus far from what I read).





It would be interesting to read the original article you are thinking of! Good luck!! (Glad to see you back! :) )
Reply:What kind of skates? roller, ice or something else.
