John Wilson, MK Refresh Web Site, Re-introduce Groundbreaking Figure Blade Design

New site brings together skating's premier brands John Wilson, MK and Parabolic

Sheffield, England (PRWEB) November 3, 2008 -- World leader in figure blade technology HD Sports recently launched its new website, theworldsbestblades.com which brings together skating's premier brands: John Wilson Skates, MK Blades and the revolutionary Parabolic. New features of the site include enhanced blade images, recommendations and maintenance/care tips. Users are also invited to sign up to stay current on blade news and developments.

The refreshed site coincides with the re-introduction of the Parabolic blade, designed to deliver sharper, more accurate turns, faster take-offs and more precise landings. Its unique design increases stability, allowing skaters to be more centered on the blade to dramatically improve footwork and edges as well as advance skaters' ability in moves such as Salchow, loop and axel jumps.

"Skaters' typical first reaction is how much easier turns are using the Parabolic, as skaters stay more centered," says Roger Margereson, managing director, HD Sports. "Skaters typically become comfortable with the Parabolic with a minimal adjustment period and blade care and maintenance including sharpening will not change with the new Parabolic design."

Like traditional blades, the Parabolic's width is identical at both the front and back of the blade. Unlike other blades on the market today, however, the blade's edge slowly tapers, reaching its narrowest point at the center. The tapered edge then returns to its original width at the back of the blade, completing its parabolic design.

"With the Parabolic, we have developed a high performance figure blade which helps skaters of virtually any level and style excel," says Margereson. "Our new site allows access to the most current information on the Parabolic as well as John Wilson and MK--the world's best blades."

The World's Best Blades (theworldsbestblades.com) is home to the world's most admired figure skating blade brands: John Wilson and Mitchel & King. These advanced blades are crafted from superior stainless steel with the optimal balance between high technology and high-touch hand finishing. For more than 3 centuries these blades have been worthy of royalty. Both King Charles II and Queen Victoria requested John Wilson blades during their reign. Most recently Queen Elizabeth II awarded special honors to MK. Today, John Wilson and MK continue to set standards of excellence for skaters worldwide. Their unwavering commitment to quality has created an impressive legacy: More skaters have won medals at international skating events on John Wilson and MK figure blades than on all other blades combined. John Wilson Skates and MK Blades are designed and produced by HD Sports in Sheffield, England.
