High-compression steel springs Independent front and rear suspension make the Launch skates unique. Invented in Canada  Launch skates were invented in Toronto, Canada, to utilize kinetic energy for faster skating and to make it easier on skater’s leg joints and more comfortable to skate.   Popular Science Invention Awards Winner of the 2012 Inventions of the Year award. Daily Planet with Lucas Lawson

High compression steel springs are mounted in the front and back of the blade holder, allowing the blade to move up and down - utilizing kinetic energy and gravity as weight and motion are applied by the skater.
