Abstract:
A specially formed cylindrical disc, set in a fixed position, to be utilized on the PIC® inline skate to allow for jumps and spins in the sport of inline figure skating. The performance pick disc is made of molded rubber or synthetic material. The purpose of the performance pick is to provide enhanced spins, jumps, and footwork common in the sport of inline figure skating. The continuous curved shape of the performance pick discs outer edges provides a toe-in angle of between 0 and 22 degrees, the optimal angle being between 5 and 12 degrees for jumps and 0 to 5 degrees for spins. In a variation, the outer edges are slanted at an angle between 20 and 45 degrees on both sides continuously around the cylindrically formed disc to provide an optimal surface for push offs common in inline figure skating maneuvers.
