Independent front and rear suspension make the Launch spring suspension ice skates unique.  It has never been done before in the history of ice skating . . . until now! High compression steel springs are mounted in the front and back of the blade holder, allowing the blade to move up and down - utilizing kinetic energy and gravity as weight and motion are applied by the skater. Invented in Canada In Canada, we know about hockey and skating!  After all, the first organized indoor hockey game was played in Canada in 1875.  Launch skates were invented in Toronto, Canada, to utilize kinetic energy for faster skating and to make it easier on skater’s leg joints and more comfortable to skate. © LaunchSkates.com 2011 - 2012                                                                      Send us your feedback TM TM see this Launch Skates video
