You can do whatever you like to your boots and bindings, buy i want you, do not paint the blade, this will result in you not being able to sharpen, skate, or de-burr your skates properly. It's best to just leave them the way they are!!

How does change in pressure help in ice skating?
The less pressure the faster you can skate on the ice.
An ice skater slides at a speed of 25 km per hr on a level ice track At this point she allows herself to coast to a complete stop How far will the person coast?
There is no way of knowing without several unstated variables. These include:air tempice tempice densityair densityrelative humidityfrictiondrag coefficient of the skater's uniformrelative angle and orientation of the skate blades
Why do you skate faster on ice than on the street?
because ice surface refers very less friction as compare to roads that is why skating is easy on ice surfaces
High pressure under skaters shoes lowers melting point of ice explain?
Under the pressure exerted by skates, the melting point of ice decreases due to the compression of the ice crystals. When pressure is applied, the ice molecules become more tightly packed together, causing a decrease in the amount of energy required for the molecules to transition from a solid to a liquid phase. This is why the pressure from skate blades can lead to the melting of ice beneath them, allowing for smooth gliding.
How do figure skaters keep moving across the ice at high speeds for long times while seldom pumping their skates?
well really, figure skaters are constantly pumping their legs when they skate. They do crossovers, which are pulls that you do when you skate backwards and forwards, and it gives you a lot of speed! :)

Why are ice skates different than the other kinds of skates?
Ice skates are different because they have blades on them and they are designed differently than per Se roller skates. Roller skates have more padding and have wheels on them, while figure skates have blades on them. If one wanted to compare a figure skate to a hockey skate, for example, a hockey skate does not have toe-picks while a figure skate does. Hope this helps :)

Who was the first person to ice skate?

Are there any safe hockey skates that cant cut people?
The blades on hockey skates are only as sharp as the wearer has honed them. Professional ice skates (hockey skates included) are very sharp and are honed after every session. If there is contact, the blades can cut flesh. Guards are put on the blades immediately after coming off the ice. Blades that are dull are not as fast on the ice. Being cut with the blade of a hockey skate is not a primary concern of athletes.
Sharpest ice skate blade?
The sharpness of the blade has nothing to do with the skate itself, but rather the person that sharpens it. Skates are usually sharpened once a month at Ice Hockey rinks with sharpeners, so it doesn't matter which skate you buy unless you buy a skate with the new T-Blade System. The T-Blade System sells blades separate from the boot, so you can choose both the sharpness and length of the blade.
