Synthetic Ice (Kwik Rink)

This is a brand of synthetic ice called Kwik Rink .It can be used all year round with no hefty maintenance jobs. Glide is 90% of that of real ice. All things that can be done on natural ice can be done on synthetic ice, as shown in this video. This was shot at Endure Sports in Mississauga, Ontario. Website: www.procisionice.com

@eichboy96 skating on real ice works because the ice below your blades melts due to the pressure. The blade then glides on the thin layer of water that has melted. The main reason you sharpen your blades is so you can go faster because there is less surface area, but even dull blades will work on real ice.

Synthetic ice fucks up ur blades

[TwineShot]

i bet your blades were shorter than your little dick at the end of the video

For all of u asking if its tough switching. No, it feels exactally the same as real ice. It doesnt ruin the blade of ur skates but it eats them up quite a bit more then ice so recomend u sharpen them more often

What if you fall? do you then glide onwards or wil you immediatly come to a stop like on concrete

[eichboy96]

Does this mess up the bottom of your blades? Like would i be able to use my skates on this and they would still be fine for real ice?

Is it pretty tough switching from synthetic to real ice?

[TheBigFoxProject]

Looking at ez-glide (synthetic ice) pricing, it would cost around $25,000 for a rink that size. that's if I understand that correctly.
