The use of stride control on skates
You can frequently see skaters skating on their inner edge. If the problem can not be solved by a good frame positioning or tying the skates, then you can use stride control...

« Using stride control to improve the position » – by Alexandre Chartier
Cause of pain and diagnosing pain
A deficient positioning of the frame or not tying the skates enough can be the reason for a bad skating-position and causes worse results. It can be the reason for:
- Knee pain
- Achilles tendon injury and bunion
- Bad influence on the technique
- Worse performances
Stride control as last solution
If the boot fits well and the frame is in a good position you can use stride control to solve your problem. You can also use orthopaedic arch support.
Stride control mounting
- Take off the wheels to get access to the frame
- Take off the frame
- If you own a Powerslide frame, just put the stride control into the provided holes
- If you don’t own a Poweslide frame, you will need to drag off the knobs
- Put the frame back on your boot and make sure the stride control doesn’t slip
Hint: use this possibility to put some screw locking vanish.
