It would be in the peoples of Northern Europe, in present-day Finland, that would have appeared" the first rudimentary skates. The oldest known pair of skates to man would date from about 3000 BC. It would have been found at the bottom of a lake in Switzerland. These skates had been made with leg bones from large animals, mainly reindeer, elk, and beef. Holes were drilled at each end and skin straps were used to tie them under the boots. The names used by the Dutch of the time were "schenkel", which means leg and also "schaats", which means "leg bone". Besides the English word " "skateboard" would come from the Dutch word "schaats". Very rudimentary and stable precarious, they required the use of a stick in order to maintain one’s balance.Around the 14th century, the Dutch began using platform skates in wood with a flat iron bottom, which they tied to their feet with leather straps. Around 1500, the Dutch added a narrow double-edged blade by metal, which could be sharpened, faster and fastened by leather laces. The Stick became a thing of the past. Skaters could now move with a simple skate stroke, using the "dutch roll" or "dutch swing", precursor to the technique of "Push and Glide", or "Push and Glide", either sliding without pushing of sticks.In 1848, E.V. Bushnell of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania invented the first clamp made entirely of steel for skates. This revolutionized ice skating because, for the first time, skaters can twist, spin, skate and jump without losing their skates!In 1865, Jackson Haines, a ballet dancer as well as an American skater renowned, considered the father of modern figure skating, developed the all metal two plate blade. The blade was screwed directly to Haines boots. The skater became famous for his new dance moves, jumps and its pirouettes. Haines added the first of the claws to the skate blades in the 1870s, making it possible to dive to launch jump movements.In 1914, John E. Strauss, a blade manufacturer from St. John E. Strauss Paul in Minnesota, invented the first "closed end" blade, made of a single piece of steel. The skates were now lighter and stronger.In January 1876 the first artificial ice rink (refrigerated mechanically), in Chelsea, London, England: Chelsea's "Glaciarium", located in the Kings Road neighborhood. Built by John Gamgee, it will close at the end from the year 1876. IMPORTANT Shipments are protected and sometimes insurance is linked to shipping.
