Does Gustave get down to specifics or just provide a general blade location philosophy? <br /><br />I'm tempted to think that each skater is a "one off" in terms of exactly where the blades should be located but in general perhaps slightly inboard is a starting place? My current blades are set so that I track in a straight line when gliding on one foot. I'm always interested in hearing what the experts have to say about fine tuning.George Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375041586503979232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679510245284968389.post-90662965796313663792014-07-28T00:25:41.907-04:002014-07-28T00:25:41.907-04:00There's a saying in the theatre that you must ...There's a saying in the theatre that you must know your history to get ahead (sadly, not so true today with those stupid reality shows). Those wishing to go into the theatre arts SHOULD know who Bob Fosse, Hal Prince, Stephen Sondheim, Richard Rogers, etc are. I feel it is the same with skaters. Know your history. Learn who Mr. Lussi was and what he did and why he's so important.<br /><br />Glad the experiment worked for you. <br />Skatecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13584353013344184567noreply@blogger.com
