	Figure skate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The skates are comprised of a boot and a blade that is attached with screws to the sole of the boot.
		When viewed from the side, the blade of a figure skate is not flat, but curved slightly, forming an arc of a circle with a radius of 180-220 cm.
		Tapered figure skating blades have a design which causes them to be thicker at the front near the toepicks and thinner at the tail of the blade; therefore, the edges are not parallel.

		Figure skating is a sporting event where individuals, mixed couples, or groups perform spins, jumps, and other "moves" on the ice, often to music.
		In singles and pairs figure skating competition, competitors must perform two routines, the "short program", in which the skater must complete a list of required elements consisting of jumps, spins and steps; and the "free skating", in which the skaters have slightly more choice of elements.
		Skating was formerly judged for "technical merit" (in the free skating), "required elements" (in the short program), and "presentation" (in both programs).

	The Parabolic from John Wilson and MK --
		The Parabolic Blade concentrates the weight of the skater on the center of the blade, using less of the blade surface.
		Since the skater’s weight is concentrated on the very center of the blade, the Parabolic relies less on the ends of the blades.
		In fact, the narrow center actually allows the blade to be sharpened in fewer passes, extending blade life over that of standard blades in most cases.

		The parabolic having a curve on both sides of the blade like a carve snow ski lets you turn around the corner without sacrificing your left foot push on the straight.
		Now with the parabolic you can have your bend on the left side of the blade and the blade can be either straight or curved back in again on the right side of the same blade.
		The parabolic effect works best at the end of the stroke when the clap mechanism is activated, reaping the benefits of both technologies.
