Being a proprietor of other businesses has led me to this opportunity. I have always had a passion for extreme sports and won rough terrain, bike-racing events in my youth. My drive to research and engineer the ice blade was to support my son, Brad’s street skating. I perfected the design and performance standards through extensive testing. I channeled my drive, commitment, and competitive spirit from my experience as an athlete. I wanted to instill these values in my son and it was a great project for us to work on together. Because I enjoy a challenge, I was able to put my time and energy into developing this exciting new challenge. It is my hope that its user will invent a new Xtreme sport.
