A little ago I was gifted some quad skates. They are beautiful Jacksons and fit perfectly (thank-you again Carrie). Whilst I was moving my plates over I took the time to weigh each component. Per skate:
Component | Weight (g) |
---|---|
Plate, with nuts | 523 |
Boot | 499 |
Wheels and bearings | 497 |
Toe stop (half worn) | 78 |
Mounting hardware | 23 |
Foot pad/cushion | 14 |
Lace | 13 |
Total | 1,647 |
So you’re carrying about 1.5Kg on each foot and that’s why it’s called endurance!
