The BEST way to sharpen short track and long track speed skates FAST. Blooper at end! If you want to save time and effort sharpening, then this is the video for you!
Thanks for the video. I was looking for a sharpening video using diamond stones. I see that the diamond stone was moved in a strictly back and forth motion. What about dragging the stone from left to right as you move from back to front? Dragging left to right will sharpen faster and not just wear one small area of the diamond stone?
If the burr is folded up in the deburring process, wouldnt it point straight down in the ice and make a huge drag? The best edge possible would in my mind be a perfect 90 degree edge not matter how much you zoom in on it. A burr would stand out and work like a brake.
That's correct. Any overburr is essentially slowing you down, however, most people find that the extra grip that comes with it outweighs the drag. This generally goes for anything besides long distance races where you do not need as much grip.

Mitch is so good at this, he should do it for the entire team, no??
Nice try, Vik. I’ll sharpen on the promise of PB’s😊
Thank you for this video. Looking forward to the equipment topic you are going to release later. :)
thanks for the upload.... I am resaerching how to sharpen my speedskates at home
Can you please turn on the closed captions?Thanks!!!
What is the grit on each of the stones? Red - 600, Gold - 1200, and the rest? Could not find the Green anywhere.
Green grit should also be 1200

What is wrong when the metal builds up on the natural stone using oil? I have to flatten the deburr stone to clean it after almost each use.
