- They've also been talking about using this resin alternative to ice so that skaters can practice some moves. I hear it's not good for edge jumps and things like that.
Do you mean new XTRAICE with plastic(?) boards and special wax? I heard they can cut costs pretty much, so it's worth trying if they have enough rinks... problem is there are few extra rinks they can try in Japan...  And Happy Birthday, swandie!  | |

Yes, that's what I'm talking about and you're right...without extra rinks to test the stuff, it doesn't mean anything. Hopefully, they'll let more stay open to test the new technology. And thanks for the birthday wish too!  | |
