Skater's Edge is the first and only mobile figure skating store in the United States. The company sells and ships skates to figure skaters all over the world.
The company provides figure and hockey skate sharpening and mounting, and boot and blade sales and repair. The company also provides skaters with services such boot stretching, waterproofing, heat molding, and punch-outs. The company accepts all forms of payment including Master Card and VISA.
The mobile store is owned and operated by Robert and Cathy Hineline. Robert is a machinist by trade. That skill makes his skate sharpening an art, and he is known for his percise precision. Many of the tools he uses to sharpen skates are handmade.
Skater's Edge was the exclusive skate technician for many of the top figure skaters in southern California. The mobile store is now based in Colorado, but California skaters are so pleased with the precise sharpening skills of Skater's Edge, that skates are shipped directly to the company for a skater's needs. Frank Carroll, coach of Evan Lysacek and Danielle Kahle, has relied on Skater's Edge for many years.
The mobile store on wheels stocks a full line of equipment to suit a skaters needs. In addition to carrying boot and blades, the store sells Zuca Bags, skate guards, soft blade covers, Mondor tights, laces, Bunga gel pads, hockey tape, and other ice skating accessories.
