The Newron Skate allows the hockey player to execute a hockey stride on hard surface exactly the same as on ice. With the wheels mounted in pairs on a light weight chassis where support springs allow for a toe kick and replicated cross-over strides, the Newron Skate is a revolutionary product.
For years, the pros and cons of rollerblading have been intensely discussed among hockey professionals. The “roller-stride” is a common term used to describe the detrimental effects to an inline player switching over to hockey. A “roller-stride” can’t execute the toe kick with efficiency and the result is to avoid a significant part of the stride extension. Inline players have slower acceleration, less extension and shorter recovery on their strides. The one positive element of inline hockey is that skating flow is increased (not losing speed when changing direction). Since a player can’t break similarly to a stop on the ice, changing direction needs to utilize a perfect turn or forward to backward sidestep. The Newron Skate increases the execution of these movements while eliminating all negative effects of inline skating to a hockey player.
