The John Wilson Pattern 99 blades have a long history of success on the podium. It is one of the most popular profiles in the world since it regularly provides high-end freestyle skaters with maximum performance. The primary 8 ft radius works wonderfully for Japanese sensation Shoma Uno who uses the Pattern 99’s tapered top toe pick for precision toe spotting on explosive jumps.
A parabolic blade's unusual curvature and mid-section tapering are meant to reduce drag as you travel across the ice. No matter what level you're skating at, this means smoother, sharper, and more intense spins, twists, and edge work.
Furthermore, because your weight is centred thanks to precision geometry, you have more control and confidence to reach your full potential.
Finally, they outlast traditional blades since they may be sharpened in fewer passes (with no special skill required).
