I’m Tim Sharp, I have been Ice skating since I could walk and spending just as much time falling over.
I have always found the engineering behind skating, from the boots and blades to physics of why ice is actually slippery fascinating.
Over many years I have taken to the ice in Free skating, Ice Dance, Figures, joining in with Hockey and Friday night Discos. I have tried a wide range of skates experiencing first hand Free, Dance, Hockey, Short-track speed, Long-track speed and rental skates gaining an understanding how each really feels to skate in.
Unfortunately over the years I have been on the receiving end of my fair share or “bad” sharpening.
Taking this to heart I wanted to provide a service that was different from others I had experienced.
One that spent time to listen to the skater and help them understand what and why they were feeling or experiencing and then actually be able to do something about it.
With this as the guiding principle hoping to impart some knowledge to the skaters so when something is wrong they know what to check and don’t just suffer trying to fix there technic when its the equipment that’s holding them back.
