"Figures may be making a comeback" am I the only one who hopes so??? the precision of them is mesmerising and practicing them is a challenge for sure, but so fun!!

I've seen more rinks offer figures workshops than when I first started so maybe! Hard to tell 😅 Watching figures is so interesting

Nice review! Jackson Ultima makes a major mistake calling the edges "tapered". They are actually flared, which is the opposite of tapered. The blades flare outward toward the bottom instead of tapering narrower (just like different styles of pants). "Side honed" is another term that is used for this. My Gold Seals are side honed (flared) for more ice bite when leaning on an edge. I'm trying to figure out if these blades have a Gold Seal rocker profile (rounder right behind the bottom pick) or a Pattern 99 profile (flatter/more gradual spin rocker). I cannot spin on my Dynasty synchro blades because they have a Pattern 99 profile and I just can't find the sweet spot. I'm used to Gold Seals and before those, Gold Stars.
