He's a bit imprecise with his terminology, but he's talking about the tube that serves as the structural backbone for the blade. The thin-gauge steel tubes are more flexible than a thicker-gauge aluminum tube. The actual blade that contacts the ice in both cases is a bimetallic steel blade, much like a katana, with harder steel on the edge so they can hold a sharp, and more resilient steel in the rest of the blade to better withstand shock.
@@rexgodland765 well we are allowed to combine multiple words into one like the Germans do as well, so "klapschaats". The word "skate" actually comes from the Dutch word "schaats" as well. Yes we love our ice skating. We even beat the Spanish in a war on skates.
Is the short trach boot compatible with a roller blade frame?
Good luck at Sochi, hope to see you all in summer.
Travis Jayner looks a little like Walt Jr from 'Breaking Bad' I think. Yup, nice guys.
Steel is softer than aluminium?🤔🤔
Nope😆🤣
Depending of the treatment (annealing, tempering, etc) hardness can change a lot in steel... Hard to say... He just skate anyway, it says so himself.
